Which shopping experiance do you like more?

hmm I don't live in the states.. so what's a ma and pops store? O.O I live in Canada and i like shopping in the mall _ Because here, all the stores for clothes and accessory are clustered together. There are more than 20 restaurants near each other, ice cream shops, clothes boutique, music store, saop boutique,and many others. All store in one makes it easier then moving around. You don't have to walk outside when there is a huge snowstorm so we just stay inside. They don't have this in France so if they want to go to the next boutique they have to take the bus or walk for a long time.

I enjoy doing my shopping from a supermarket. This is because I get to see and interact with lots of people there too. So it becomes a bit of a social experience for me too. Also, you might note that supermarkets have more products on display than smaller stores. Sometimes you get to eat or try out free samples as well. I should also add that, supermarkets being bigger, you get more opportunity to walk around. that means more exercise. Of course, this doesnt mean I dont frequent smaller stores. i do. It's just that i go to them when I have to buy only a few items real quick. However, I enjoy my shopping experience much more in supermarkets.
