It's the consumerism side of malls that drove me away. When I'm shopping for something, I'm only shopping for those specific needs. Being forced to walk past a dozen other stores to get to the one I want is inconvenient verging on actively annoying. I'd rather shop online or visit a single store than deal with a mall. The mall format may work for others, but it doesn't for me.
