The Irrelevant Mall Walker

Hello. The other day I was to meet a friend for lunch in a big mall. I arrived early, so I thought I'd look around.
For me, this was a big attitude change. Usually I'm in and out of stores as quickly as possible. I don't want to do anything besides achieve my purpose. I have a written list of things to buy. I hardly ever lose my focus. I'm on a mission. I figure I've saved thousands of dollars as a result.
This time I went looking at the different stores. I was only interested in things like store colours, space, # of staff members, # of customers. I took my time, walking much slower than normal. I made eye contact. I smiled. I browsed. I even talked to one store person.
What happened? Nothing! I was in shock. No one pressured me. No one cared if I bought anything. No one thought I was loitering. It was a totally different experience. Revolutionary, in fact.
Golfers refer to this as "taking time to smell the roses". And now that I know what I do is irrelevant in a mall, I'm going to do it more often.

Regards,
Irrelevant
