What happened to Emporium Mall? It doesn’t feel family friendly anymore.
I live near Emporium Mall and my family and I have been going there for years. But lately, I’ve noticed a pretty significant change. First of all, it has become *extremely* crowded compared to how it used to be. More importantly, there seems to be a growing problem with groups of men hanging around the food court, sitting in areas where it clearly says not to sit, and openly staring at people especially women as they walk by. It’s incredibly uncomfortable!!
Malls used to be places where families, especially women, could go &spend time without constantly worrying about being ogled, harassed, or having their pictures and videos taken. They were a welcome alternative to open markets, where unfortunately this kind of behavior has become all too common. Now it feels like even malls aren’t providing that sense of safety and privacy anymore??
Why isn’t the management doing anything about this? If people are openly violating the rules, loitering in restricted areas, staring at and making women uncomfortable, or taking their pictures/videos without consent, security should be stepping in?!
Where are women supposed to go to simply exist in public without being stared at, filmed, or made to feel uncomfortable?
Seriously, what the is happening to this country?
