Activity 1 Carmen Lam

On February 12, 2010 I visited the Manhattan mall. Walking through the mall and looking into the stores is just an ordinary experience, but now the mall is filled with mini shopping stands in each level of the mall. The workers in the mini stands seem to be very aggressive in luring male and female costumers. I sat by the food court which is located in the basement. The mall was extremely busy and full of people of different ethnicity. I observed that majority of the people that was sitting by the food court was in the age range of mid 30’s to upper 50’s. Sitting by the food court I noticed that some people just walked around the food court to taste test all the free food that is being distributed by each restaurant.
I observed that more female employees take more bathroom breaks compared to male employees. The reason I say that is because within the 3 hours I was sitting by the food court I saw some familiar faces that was entering and exiting the female restroom every 30 minutes.
