Why would you bother going shopping if not to shop??
Just driving around a mall, finding a parking spot, weaving your way in and around oblivious shoppers is pretty dam stressful if you ask me. I suppose if you have a crappy TV at home and/or don't have a PS2 (or can't get it away from the kid) or you were trying some backwards technique at picking up a date, that might be reason enough for some to go to the Mall Creche.
They should put up a couple PC's load em up with some MMPORG's and then all the reluctant spouses would agree to accompany the shopper to the mall.
Do you think some may take offense to calling a little cushy entertainment corner a 'creche'?
