I am looking to rent a Kiosk one on a monthly basis during Nov and Dec and one on a weekly basis during the month of Dec. Could you please get back to me with prices and availability.
Thank you Wendy Stephenson
Why are people’s requests for lease space and kiosk rentals posted on your general website for other people to read? (See request above from Leon Moore and Wendy Stephenson)
Whats the name of the gaming store?

l just was wanted to say that l love this mall
l just wish they would have more the one main washroom at any other mall they have more then one main washroom
why is the Info(6/49) booth in recievership whats going on
I really don’t like going to the mall anymore, I live close by so it shouldn’t be an issue. I definitly don’t shop to often or go to the library as we once did. Why? I don’t like the fact that everytime I walk into that mall “I” as a female get stared at by old east indian men who spend pretty much all day there, don’t buy not even a coffee, all they do is stare at women all day. Where are there wives. If a white man sat around as these men do they would be kicked out-kick them these dirty man out!! Ban them from coming back, it’s been a problem way to long. Problem is they pretend not to speak english. I know many women who won’t shop at this mall anymore because as for myself they are angry as well.
Ok I’ve been to the town center once to have my hair cut and would love to go back .Could anyone tell me the name of the beauty salon’s in the mall.
Do you know the date of your annual teddy bear sale you have to raise money for charity?? Please email back – Thanks, Tara
A blog about town center, cool. Linda, I understand your concern, but really those guys are harmless old men. They stare at everyone, not just white women, I’m a 20 something east indian man and they stare at me too (: I’m amazed at how busy town center is now, used to be a ghost mall.
winners is not working anymore.
This is a response to Linda. I think its very ignorant for you to say something like that. I work in the mall, and have been for the last year and a half, and I’m east indian myself too. There is just some stuff you shouldn’t post on a general website. What’s wrong with you? There are a lot of WHITE men, black men, philipinos an chinese men that have harassed many ladies in the mall. As far as I am concerned there has not been any issues with an old east indian man creeping on ladies. I am really good friends with the security guards and I hear a lot of stories about stuff that people do illegally..but there’s never any mention about old east indian men. If you want to get all racial how come all the little WHITE boys and girls always shoplift? Hmmm? And if you have a problem like that then deal with it don’t cry about it on a website. Maybe there’s more to it then you know. And I’m happy you don’t shop there anymorw, I would hate to see people like you in the mall.
Hair salons:
Escada

where is the best place to go 4 a 10 yr olds b day ????
Linda, shut the fuck up and get over your honky ass. Nobody is staring at you. How the fuck do you know what they buy/don’t buy? Get out of millwoods if you can’t handle ethnic diversity.
Linda – your comments are very ignorant and offensive. The dirty men (that you so eloquently refer to) are elderly men who meet at the mall in an attempt to bond and communicate with one another. That is one of the very few ways that that can try to make a foreign country with uneducated (like yourself) citizens feel like home. Culturally, East Indian men are very direct in their verbal and NON-Verbal comunication and apparently, you have taken that to be perverted. Are they actually physically approaching you and harassing you? Are they doing catcalls or making obscene gestures as you walkby? I assume not, because if they were actually doing anything, they would be kicked out. But yet you take a look/stare as dirty and target elderly east indian men. Your comments are borderline racist – they “pretend” that they don’t speak English. I do not know alot of people who pretend that they cannot speak a language. Unfortunately, your eurocentric view of minority groups is not uncommon – you should pick up a book and educate yourself – predominantly, most crimes/forms of harassment are commited by Caucasians (that your kind of people), yet serve the shortest incarceration times. Why? Because we still live in a racist society which still serves the White mans purpose/needs. Stop picking on East Indian men and get a life.
I would love to know also what the name of that hair salon is called!?!
I agree with Linda, They should be banned. It’s not fair at all! and some of them are very Ignorant as well!
Whats the name of the Pet Store in the mall called? Thats the one place they dont have on the Store Directory..
I can’t believe the mall doesn’t have a website! I was there recently and it seems as though a lot of stores are closed up. I don’t know how the mall can expect to compete with the new Southgate?
you forgot game city in electronics
Linda, I once worked security at that mall. I can tell you exactly why these old east indian males are not banned or even asked to leave for the day. I asked my supervisor that very same question.
A few years back one of the security guards had asked an old east indian male to leave for that exact reason. The east indian guy played the I dont speak english card. So the guard physically removed him. The next day there was 500 east indians protesting. We were told to never ever touch them or ask them tomove or leave.
Aslo for Han both Town center mall and Southgate mall are owned by the same company
Is there going to be a Sears Outlet store in the mall? If so, when will that be opening?
Hi, I am reading all these comments regarding East Indian men and would like to say that it is true , that some men just stare and I personally consider this rude. I also think that if the mall security tried to kick one east Indian out you will have 500 of them outside slanting slogans. However, let’s not judge all old east Indian men with the same yardstick. I am east Indian myself and do know a lot of “white” guys who and sit at the mall all day staring at little girls and boys which is very sick…So does that mean that I can’t trust any white guy with my kid since I am not sure when the white guy looks at my child all he is going to think about is sex? I think not. Just like there are bad guys among whites , so is the case among east Indians. I hope we all see sense and stop this name calling etc. Proud Canadian
I go to Millwoods town centre all the time, and I don’t like being starred at either but You just have to learn how to ignore it, I am east indian myself and i find it very offensive with the racial comments. IGNORE it like i also ignore all those gothic people who are very weird too!!! Dont let it get to you.
hey guys everyone needs to completely chill out. yes East Indian men can seem creepy…..BUT i am pretty sure some of us seem like creeps to them. sure they sometimes scratch their private parts around us and sure they sometimes stare but they do not understand everything we do just like we dont understand everything they do. We are all people. No one is better than anyone else. Malls are public spaces. everyone should be allowed to be there. Security Guards are there to keep us safe so let them do their jobs. If you feel really not comfortable let a guard know. do not be rascist but also be smart. stereotypes are bad. even white men or asian or european people can be creepy. so everyone please drop this.
PLAY PEN PETS.
The fact that there is still a racial issue digust me i would like to think that our society has grown past that. What everyone needs to remeber is that all races are equal in everyway possible, wheter it be good deeds, bad deeds or what may you. As to your comments Linda if you feel so creeped out maybe you should bring it to mall managment att. or just wlak away and inorge the glares. I live close by the mall ans shop there with my kids and from my experinces a majoirtiy of them hang around the food court and shoppers, so stay away from the areas. I’ve never have any problems with them or anybody but expect for their friendliness towards my children. Linda please open your eyes and grow up and learn to accept everyone as equals to help lessen racial viloence.
Is their any companies in the Millwoods Town centre that is hiring now? besides dollar rama? because I have been looking and seems like their really isnt.
Re: mall patrons.. Singh comments…. living in a society that supports the white mans needs!!! You my friend are obvisoulsy not educated. CANADA was settled and pioneered by :WHITE PEOPLE … it is you who needs to read a book or two and educate yoursel., I suggest you start with some elementary level history texts and work your way up from there! My family has been here since 1774 …they mixed with other settlers and helped each other…there were no malls to hang out in all day long and wish you were back home, they were too busy without government handouts trying to hack out a living on bare land and rocks supporting themselves. There were no social programs, if you did’nt work you did’nt eat. There was no complaining because they made the choice to come here no one forced them to come here. There should be no complaning about sitting in a country that now welcomes and SUPPORTS you with a pension after 10 years of being here!!!! if you want to mix and socialize go volunteer….most of the elderly people I know volunteer…they don’t sit on their behinds in a mall all day long wishing they were somewhere else!!!!!!!!! They do things to better the lives of their fellow Canadians!, regardless of ethic orgin. As for the comment that East Indian men are very direct in their methods of communcation…this is Canada and we are more discreet and cautious regarding making comments to or about each other…this is a cultural thing! When in Rome……
Hi, I was just trying to figure out when the post office closes but got sidetracked by the conversation. I have noticed the Indian men at the mall but I have never felt threatened by them. They seemed pretty clean to me. They do tend to watch people as they go by but people watching is not really a crime. It is true that hanging out at the mall all day, everyday and not buying anything kind of sucks for the vendors and could be considered loitering. Perhaps we could find a solution to this problem that would satisfy everybody. I have noticed that there is a senoirs club at the mall and this is considered ok. People are not complaining that seniors are spending their time at the mall and not buying anything. Perhaps the east indian gentlemen could also form a club and be given or rent their own space so they would not seem to be loitering in the middle of the shopping centre or they could join the seniors club that is already there. Personally these men do not really bother me but in the interest of fairness if it was a group of 10 older white men that came to the mall everyday just to sit together and people watch, security would probably kick them out, and women would probably feel threatened or at the very least think that they were creepy.
Linda, you are an illiterate, racist idiot. Both your spelling and your close- minded views should be kept to yourself.
I grew up in this area and am happy to be back after 5 years. I have a 3 year old son who likes to say “hi” to everyone. I find that most “white” people ignore him until he is frustrated and asking why they won’t say “hi” back. It is these “old Indian men”, as you call them, that take the time to say “hi” back and smile.
I am glad that you don’t shop at the mall anymore, because we don’t want people like you there. I hope you never have kids to pass your racist views on to. Also, you may want to take some grammar and spelling lessons as it is evident that you don’t speak English very well yourself.
Hi!! I don’t know what the Salon you’re looking for is called but I go to one that is AWESOME!!! The people that work their are great and I always leave completely SATISFIED with the haircut and highlights i get! I ended up going to several places for highlights and it was never the way i wanted it to be.. despite the pictures I showed them. But at this salon it’s always perfect. I’m love them lol Anyways, the place is called ESCADA and it’s in St.Albert center! Hope that helps =)
I understand Linda’s comments it is not racist…I also go to the mall and feel them looking at me. I find it offensive but just stare back and challange the look and if they continue I ask them why they are staring..it is very ignorant…I think they should all get a life and visit elsewhere..they have a seniors center …go there perverts
Oh yeah I am not of Caucasion decent so don’t comment on that either I don’t care what anyone thinks it is jsut my two cents on how I feel when I go ther…I think Linda should tell them to not look next time like I do or stare them down….they will stop if you approach the subject
im with linda on this 1, she is not bitching about them being east indian so get that out of yr asses, it is ridiculous that all they ever do is sit around the mall hanging out staring at ppl. i stick up for myself and tell them to fuck off and quit staring and others should to. im tired of having to go there to being glared at by them now cuz y i actually said something. if it were a group of teens they would b told to quit loittering so y should the creepy elders b treated any different. if they want to hang out than fine go into smittys have a coffee or whatever, y do they have to sit there and stare at ppl. it just soo happens that its east indian men that are the ones being all creepy, i have sat there with mi kids in the play park well they take up 2 benchs to what stare at ppl walk by mumble in their language. and linda is right they do mostly stare at women she is not saying that they only do but it is mainly women they stare at. and as for the comment about the white shoplifters thats bull shit i was there yesterday and too chinese guys were getting hauld out of there for the same thing. also 2 weeks ago 2 black girls got caught stealing from la tops. so its not just us white folks or as that racist fuck calls up honkies. linda was mainly stating the obvious and u guys go into making it into a whole racial thing. take yr racist asses out of her u dont hear us calling out the niggers or chinks or pakis no we kindly said it.
Hi,
I agree with everyone here and I don’t think anyone is being racist (or lets not try to). Only thing that, I don’t agree with is name calling.
We all came here for better life and that’s why we should not promote any culture because one of the group wants to do that. i will rather ask ladies to ask security guard to help them with this. Not going to the mall is not the right thing. It is ours(canadian’s) so we have to stand up against anything wrong.
I do want everyone to make the right decision otherwise it will dusturb the social harmony among people. Diversity in culture and thoughts makes a great country. I am sure Canada is not racist and its great country. I do want to be proud, when I join you guys as Candian.
Regards
Just wanna know when Santas going to be at the mall
My wife was looking for some store information and came across this website. She showed me all of these posts and I just could not resist the temptation to put in my thoughts on the whole issue.
First off I must say that the vast majority of people that I know are getting rather tired of all the changes we seem to have to be making in our CANADIAN society in the hopes of achieving someone’s idea of political correctness. I personally am very tired of it so I will not be trying to achieve any form of it in my post.
First, a few specific responses.
Linda seems to have started all of this and good for her. She raises valid concerns and gets creeped out by someone staring at her. I do not know of many individuals of either sex, of any race, that do not get a bit creeped out when someone is staring at them. It is a rude behavior no matter who is doing it. As far as this being a race issue, maybe it is. But it still would be, and is, the same issue if it were people who are Irish, Japanese, Russian, Australian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Old, Young, Black, White, Yellow, Polka dotted, One Legged, Six Toed, it just does not matter. They are sitting on their asses all day at the mall, shooting the shit, and not contributing to society in which we live.
Re Lisa April 13th. Why the hell can’t she post something on a general website? Are all general websites reserved for people to cast accusations of racism and bigotry like you did? She can “cry about it on a website” as you say, if she damn well pleases. You did. Now as far as “all the little WHITE boys and girls always shoplifting”, (again, your words) goes I would be left to decide between one of two conclusions. One, there are indeed more WHITE people shoplifting than those of color, or, the WHITE people are not as good at avoiding getting caught. Something to think about. In any case, perhaps you should not preach to people about racism when your own words are filled with it. Congrats on getting a job.
Re David May 25th. David, the use of the word HONKY also carries with it a loud tone of racism. Please review what I wrote above to Linda and perhaps you could gleam some sort of insight from it. I am not betting on it but one should always have hope. This has nothing to do with the tolerance for ethnic diversity you grade A moron. If you cannot formulate a complete thought please leave it to those that can.
Re Singh June 11th. Why are Linda’s view of a situation and the way she feels ignorant and offensive? Does she not have a right to express those views and feelings? You say that these men are meeting to bond and communicate however you feel that Linda has no right to communicate that their bonding is creeping her out. Actually, when I was reading your post I was finding nothing really wrong until I got to the bottom and you played the big bad white man card. As far as the amount of crimes and incarceration time for white people as opposed to those of color I have no idea but I would suspect that it’s all relative to the crimes committed. I do however agree with you that there should be harsher punishments for all. One thing that I truly believe is that those who commit crimes in this country, who have not been born here and have been here ten years or less, should never be put on trial. They should merely be taken to the closest airport and sent back from where they came. Why should the tax payers of this country pay to defend, try, and incarcerate and individual who has that little respect for the country in which they have CHOOSEN to live. As far as those who were born here and are convicted of a crime I have a whole other viewpoint on what we should do with them however I think I will have to find another mall website for that topic. This just does not seem to be the appropriate forum. Speaking of airports, if you truly feel that this is such a racist society in which you live, and in case you were not aware, every major airport has flights leaving this country. Please feel free, because this is a free country, to choose the destination of your choice. Good luck and God’s speed.
Re Brenda Nov 13th. Brenda you are absolutely right. We should never judge all with the same yardstick so let’s just keep this about the one’s that sit on their asses at the mall all day leering at people.
Re Rehana Nov 15th. Rehana you don’t have to ignore it. You have already begun to speak out as evidenced by your post. Don’t be afraid. Yell out your displeasure. With you being of East Indian decent I cannot imagine what horrible thoughts of arranged marriage or other cultural degradation they may be thinking about you. And again, I must remind you that we are speaking about those old men at the mall here. There is probably another mall website discussion about those blood sucking goths.
Re Ashley Schneider Nov. 19th. Princess Ashely. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Your Pollyanna attitude and viewpoints are the exact reason that we keep changing our way life to suit others. It’s comforting to know that the tradition is not dead and that you will forever be here to carry forth into the world, the wisdom that seems to come from that of a five year old. Remember, lights out before 9pm and be a good girl. Santa is coming and he is watching.
Re MJ Nov. 19th. Does Ashley live at your house? Why the hell should Linda or anyone else for that matter have to avoid certain places in the mall? She should be able to feel comfortable anywhere she damn well wants to go there. What fricking racial violence are you talking about? I read your post, went back and read Linda’s and no where did she say anything about violence or make any sort of reference to it. Read what she said. Perhaps reading it slower with a help of a tutor might be in your best interest. Maybe your kids can help you out. Well, upon review of your post and its spelling errors perhaps that is not the best idea either. Seems that the gene pool is a little shallow on your end.
Re Bobby Nov. 23rd. Thanks for stating the obvious. No matter what your color or ethic origin, either contribute to society or get the hell out of it.
Re Jasmine Nov. 25th. Jasmine I am glad you brought up the word loitering because that is exactly what it is. The solution to this problem is simple. Apply the same rule to them as we would for a bunch of white men, yellow men, space men, teenagers, gothic clubs (that one’s for you Rehana), or any other group of people loitering around and kick their sorry asses out.
Re Laurie Nov. 25th. Laurie, I hope with your accusation of Linda being illiterate indicates a vast education that affords you the realization that you contradict yourself by merely offering your opinion. Somewhere in your years of being educated you may have picked up on the fact the Canada, the country in which we live, is a free country. This means the people like Linda, and jerks like you, are free to offer their opinion on any subject they wish. As far as these men saying hi back to your kids there could be many reasons. Your kids could be creepy too, I don’t know. Could be that they want to eat them. Are your children fat?
Re Cristyne Dec. 6th. The direct approach, I like it. Maybe you could help out Ashley and MJ.
Re PR Holder Dec. 11th. I am getting the impression that PR is on their way to becoming a new Canadian. Congratulations and welcome. You seem to be a person who is aware that every country has their own traditions, culture, and laws and seem eager to embrace them to be intertwined with your own traditions and culture rather than trying to suppress either culture. Good luck.
I hope that I have offended at least one individual with this post. It is time we all cut out this political correctness and started telling it like it is. The bottom line is that these men, no matter what their ethnic origin, are sitting around the mall which is, by every definition, loitering (thanks Jasmine). If it were teenagers doing this the mall security would indeed have kicked their sorry asses out of the mall. I see them constantly keeping a watch on them as well as confronting them about their intentions. The mall security does not however confront any one of these men. So yes indeed, this is an issue that smacks of racism. Just not the way that most of these moronic posters think.
Merry Christmas Everyone. For those not of the Christian faith, just talk amongst yourselves, it will be over soon.
Bob, I appreciate your response. I know some of the posts were offensive. I would be very happy, if you have not followed the same sarcasm in replying to one of the post.
I think that your post addresses the real problem very well and thanks for doing that. Now, we know the problem and the question remains how to solve this problem so that people of the community can go to the malls without any fear. I can only think of creating some kind of Moral Brigade and ask people to join the people from different culture and religion to join.
Let these people go and ask the people, how their actions are offending others and making them uncomfortable. I am very sure they will understand what is wrong with their behavior.
We would be able to maintain peace and harmony in the society this way.
Merry Christmas to all of you !! I am not christian but my family celebrates christmas and Halloween for now.
Regards
PR Holder, your response advocates peace and harmony which is all fine and good however I doubt that this issue is going to turn into all out race riots of epic proportion. The idea of a Moral Brigade scares me. Seems a bit over the top and more along the lines of the great moral thinkers of days past when we outlawed liquor and burned books. That never worked out well. You cannot legislate nor enforce morals to any degree of success. The must be learned, accepted and practiced. That being said, this is not a moral issue.
I was trying to get the point across that the rules should apply to all, no matter what. It has been said before that this type of behavior would not be tolerated by the mall management and security if it were teenagers so why is it allowed for these gentlemen? It is allowed because of the mall’s desire to avoid any type of bad press because as soon as they were to say anything to these gentlemen then there would be an immediate cry of discrimination. So in an attempt to avoid any accusations of discrimination the mall chooses to turn a blind eye to it which is discrimination against those that would have repercussions thrust upon them for doing exactly what these gentlemen are doing.
They should be told, by mall management and security, to get the hell off the benches and get out. If they want to have somewhere to meet, go meet at one of their houses. That however would not provide the entertainment value of people watching that by all accounts is creeping some people out. They could go to a coffee shop or other establishment however that would cost money that they do not want to spend. They could join the seniors drop in center in the mall however I believe that they are practicing their own form of racism and would never be caught dead in there. Contribute to this society in which you live or get out.
The vast majority of us have jobs that we go to, which earns us money, which we spend at the shops in the mall, which pays the employees, which pays the owners rent, which pays for the land, the building, the taxes, and on and on it goes. The biggest offence here should be the fact that they sit there all day not contributing but I am sure more than willing to contribute to an accusation of discrimination if asked to leave.
I have no problem with someone taking some time out of their life to sit down, relax and watch the world go by. The problem I have is I do not understand what they are taking a break from. If you can sit there all day you don’t have a job. You don’t volunteer. You don’t have children to look after. Your not shopping. Your not contributing to the economics of the mall. Your dead weight on the shoulders of the world.
Anyway, that’s getting a bit off topic. The topic is old men who sit on benches at the mall all day creeping people out. The rules should be applied to them as firmly as they would be applied to others, now matter how much they cry discrimination. If being removed from the benches at the mall for loitering proves to be such a hardship and travesty they should join Singh at the airport. Perhaps there is a place in the world they would find less racial intolerant to their need to sit on benches and bond all day.
Actually it would be interesting to try and experiment. Perhaps 15 or so teenagers or perhaps a group of those blood sucking Goths (sorry Rehana but it’s for the cause, be brave little soldier) should start sitting around the benches all day. How long do you think it would take before they were asked to leave? Do you think any claim of theirs regarding discrimination would be accepted? Not likely. Why, because we change the rules to suit the few in the hopes of not being called racist or discriminatory. We change the rules to suit someone’s idea of political correctness.
Hopefully more and more people will soon see the need to get over this political correctness crap and we will once again be able to say that someone is a lazy ass taking up space rather than a motivationally challenged individual who needs our acceptance and understanding.
I think that who ever is in charge of this website seriously needs to read all the above posts! There are offensive, rude, and racist comments on an information site. I am here trying to find hours to a shopping mall, and instead am leaving this website with feelings of utter dismay. I am a proud Canadian, and regardless of Canada’s history we are now a “multi cultural” society, and we should all welcome that fact with open arms. Please in the future, keep racist comments to yourselves. And just to state a fact of Canadian Law, it is possible to be criminally charged with these comments known as slander.
Thanks everyone for the good reading. I had a good chuckle. Have a Merry Christmas.
Dear Bob,
“Laurie, I hope with your accusation of Linda being illiterate indicates a vast education that affords you the realization that you contradict yourself by merely offering your opinion.”
Great job of constructing an unnecessarily wordy sentence! We bow to your towering intellect.
Funny how one comment can ruin a information page… I usually do not care to get involved when it comes to things like this, but racist remarks are not welcomed anywhere in society … I have lived in Edmonton my whole life, and Millwoods for 90% of it, and have grown up and been raised to look at people as people, not colors, race, or sterotypes.
Edmonton is a very diverse community of people, different races, different colors, so to pick on those seniors and bringing up their race is uncalled for. You obviously have no respect for elders.
Seniors in general, love to meet up at malls and socialize and get out of the house – not everyone is there to shop and of course they are going to look around the mall, or other people, just observing the crowd is not a crime – it is a public place! you’ll get stared at weather you like it or not and not just by one group or person. You should be able to ignore it/accept it and just finish your shopping or whatever you were there to do.
If you really are as paranoid as your state – I recommend you seek professional help.
Alright, this is a decent mall for small shopping. I usually go there to pick up some small last minute things such as last minute christmas presents. My top stores there would have to be zellers, dollarama, and HMV. Zellers is great for kids toys, HMV for movies/music, and dollarama for your cheap stuff such as gift wrap. So a response to all these comments regarding racial issues: Alright, I do understand the feeling of being creeped, but seriously its life there are going to be people out there that will give you a dirty look here and there, no matter what race. You gotta learn to just ignore that shit and stop being so sensitive. Unless they start shit and approach you, theres no need to bitch. People like this need to stop being so sensitive and live life, and learn to accept and respect EVERYONE. End of story.
While we live not far from this mall, we would visit it regardless of where we live. Many of our friends agree with us that this mall is significantly different than most, if not all the malls in Edmonton. It is much more casual in atmosphere and there is much more room to just “hang out” or “loiter” with your neighbor. There are times when I do not go there to buy anything but rather just give the kids a few minutes in the play center on a chilly December weekend. This is the charm of Millwood’s Town Center. The downside for some of you is that like those market places of old, people of all walks will come and discuss the issues of the day while people watching those around them. I would not care if they were Goth, East Indian or One legged potato planters from Moose Jaw Sk, if you want to sit around and stare at people… knock your socks off. Looking isn’t a crime and lord help us when it becomes one. I can’t wait for someone to cry “you’re face is creeping me out… security!”
As for you Bob, man…. get a life. I could grab my thesaurus and try to keep up with you but what would be the point… I’m not writing a book afterall. (Truthfully, I can’t wait for the movie: Bob Rants! I hope you get Kevin Costner to play the part of Bob and Angelina Jolie to play Linda. Mmmmm Linda would be so hot!
I think all the old east indian men should have to do the dance from slumdog millionare in order to stay in the mall.
I believe a mall that provides a seniors drop-in center as well as a children’s play area is indeed an asset to our community, but it is still a mall that has businesses that pay to lease space to sell their products.
If a group of individuals (no matter race, age, etc.) behave in a manner that make numerous people uncomfortable enough to confront them, or avoid the area where they loiter, or avoid the mall entirely because of their conduct, that’s unacceptable.
This is not a Racial Intolerance issue, and how sad that 500 people protested and claimed Discrimination because an individual was escorted off the premises for inappropriate behaviour. That’s offensive!!!!
I’d just like to say I enjoyed Bob’s rant, and anyone with an IQ that exceeds their shoe size should be able to understand what he was saying without the aid of a Thesaurus. I do agree with James on his suggestion that it would indeed make a great movie.
So Tracy, who is in charge on determining what is uncomfortable? So if I my friends and I enjoy wearing mexican ponchos with pictures of corona on them…does that make you feel uncomfortable? Old men wearing black socks and sandals make me uncomfortable. There is a big difference between “feeling uncomfortable” and “harrassment” and the laws in Canada reflect that. Let us be clear about what is being discussed… what was the inappropriate behaviour that caused this man to be asked to leave the mall? Did he look at a woman? Ahhhhh!
I agree every mall as a private business should have the minimum expectation that those who visit it will be open to spending money to support the businesses. However, until they stop me at the door and count how much money I have in my pocket, I think that they should go on the reasonable assumption that I will spend my funds wisely and most propably on those businesses when the time occurs. This is an act of faith and good will. I do spend my money there because the owners of the businesses that exist there are people who I generally know by name as a regular customer. Even the ladies who clean in the food court stop to speak to my family and I every time I am there.
As for the movie… I want to be cast as the mall patron who stares at unsuspecting shoppers….oooohhhhh.
Comments on the East Indian Men- I’ve been going to this mall since it opened, and I have had my shear of creepy people. But really if they’re looking at you who the hell cares, do you know how many people sit there and people watch? So what’s the difference if so good looking white guys is sitting there looking at you? Oh let me guess that’s ok right? Because his intentions are gonna be better?
Give you’re head a shake man, first of all if you don’t like then go some where else. I hate ignorant people like those of you with your comments on here.
If you want to bitch about those guys just sitting there then we might as well bitch about the people that bring their kids to the mall and let them run all over the place screaming at the top of their lungs. Or let’s bitch about the people that bring their bugs in to stores like dollarama and block the whole isle. Let’s bitch about how rude some of the people at the food places in the food court. Let’s bitch about the annoying people that stand at the kiosks and try to sucker you in.
When I see them I see them looking at me and whatever I just dust it off cause once I pass them I’m totally over it.
So you Linda need to get over yourself, because I’m sure if no one was checking you out you’d bitch about that too.
seriously what the Fuck. all you mall dicks talking with your big learny words about old people at the mall making it complicated so my brain waves cant…FUCK. theyr just old people sitting at the mall, maybe if you smoked dope once in a while you wouldnt care so much. its not a racialist thingy because theyre just old so top being such a pussy about. its not frick rocket appliances. plus mall dope fucken sucks so come to sunnyvale and get good dope
To all the educated persons & illiterates – is this really the forum for this discussion?? %$#!!!
(I was just trying to find the contact info for a store & came across this nightmare)
Well James, this isn’t an issue of what I consider uncomfortable, or how I may personally feel about the fashionably challenged.
By all accounts a group of individuals are loitering at a place of business. Customers are complaining about their conduct, whatever that may be, and I’m sure someone wouldn’t be escorted from the premises for just staring.
The management is now unable to ask them to leave this place of business because other people are objecting that this is discrimination, creating a double standard and special privileges for this group only. You have no problem with that, good for you.
This is unbelievable. Old seniors unintentional stare bothers anyone??
& the comments, unreal. Hey Bob you have a fantastic hobby, writing 6 page essay about nothing…….intelligent guy.
My belated wishes for a Happy & prosperous New Year to everyone including the idiots.
Rick, don’t you be hassl’n my buddy Bob. I’ve got dibs on the screen rights to his book. Tracy, I want you to be my escort at the oscars! oh, by the way… how many customers complained… and please, if you may, what was that person thrown out for… perhaps if we knew the facts… it would make Bob’s book more realistic. Right now I’m just not feeling the script.
