I went to a mall just the other day- masked*, of course- to pick up some stuff we had left to be serviced at a couple of stores. Strictly a hit it and quit it run, no shopping. (We were prevented from pickup in March due to the lockdown.)
I saw good signs, I saw bad signs.
I have to say that at the least, MOST of the people were wearing masks. Not by a huge margin, let’s call it a simple majority. And both groups were demographically diverse.
BUT the mall as a whole was sparsely populated, so it’s not like there were huge herds of people wandering around. Most stores had some kind of occupancy limits and controlled access. All the employees I saw seemed to be wearing masks...and most of them, correctly.
Some stores were limiting their operating hours- I saw one jewelry store closing up while the mall was hours from closing for the day. And some stores are still not reopened, like Godiva and Victoria’s Secret.
