Excerpt

For anyone who has ever been shopping in a mall and been annoyed by other shoppers walking too slowly, knocking people down, or holding up the lines, I have some advice that could help prevent future irritations of this kind. From my experience as a shopper and as a mall employee, I have encountered many different types of shoppers, but three categories in particular seem to stand out as the most exasperating. These are the "Cruisers," the "Speed Shoppers," and the "Browsers." It is important to know what they look like, how they act, and when they are most likely to be in the mall so that you can easily spot Cruisers, Speed Shoppers, and Browsers and get out of their way as quickly as possible.
