The carts take a quarter to unlock in the mall. To get your quarter back you have to return it to the corral and hook it to the cart in front of you. This way all the carts are properly returned. (This is also the reason that poor laborers spend their one day off in the mall parking lot... hoping to take the cart back for the quarter.)Also, the carts have all four wheels that can go in any direction. That's much better than our front wheel drive shopping carts!
Many escalators are more like moving walkways you see in major airports. The wheels on the shopping carts fit into the grooves of the escalator and act as a brake. Whether I have a cart or not I really like the walkway type of escalator more than the step type in America.*****
I took this picture quickly. Shortly after arriving I found the mall interesting and began taking pictures. Let's just say that I quickly realized I was breaking rules and left before I was escorted out.
Why are you not allowed to take pictures in the mall?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. I might be over blowing it but three guards conferred with each and were coming towards me. Ann said, "It's time to go!" And we walked quickly to the exit.
