Having a time in mall is very help us to spend our spare time. We can buy something that we like, wipe out our stress and also walk along in there with our friends with some chit chat.
We know that mall has many floor and to go up we can choose two ways. The first way is using the elevator and the second is using a lift.
I usually use an elevator to go up to the next floor and I also use it to go up until the last floor. I don't very like using a lift.
So, what do you choose, using an elevator or a lift when you are in mall ? and why you choose it ?
Thank's for the time to read and respond my discussion.

If I am by myself at the mall I will take the escalator. I am overweight and realize I should probably take the stairs, but I forget to do that somehow.
However if I am with my 4 children I will take the elevator, especially if I have the stroller with me. It is just much easier to keep track of everyone if we are on the elevator together. I don't have to worry about them tripping, etc.
Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

I will prefer a use the elevator rather than the lift, because most of the time, the elevator is much faster, as it keeps moving and if there's not much ple on the elevator, we can even walk which makes it even faster.. haha
But a lift, it's more likely to stop at every storey because they are shoppers whom wanna shop at different shops for different things, and sometimes when the lift gets too crowded, everybody will start to squeeze in because they dun wanna wait for another lift.. haha =D
SO in a way, taking the elevator is much better and we get to exercise too.. lol

they are putting warning labels on the "croc" shoes now because they get stuck in the escalators and there are injuries every year from kids getting stuck in them.. i always end up tripping on them anyways since im clumsy

I prefer to use the escalator when I am in the mall to go up and down the floors. I only use the elevator when I am going home carrying loads of stuffs going to the parking lot. I am not sure if the lift you are saying is the escalator here..Usually we know the lift as an elevator here so I got confused when you told us to choose.

In some countries elevator and lift are the same thing. Do you mean an escalator like a moving stair case for a lift?
I like escallators better than elevators. If the elevator breaks or falls, your stuck. If the moving staircase quits, you just have to walk.

I do not go to the mall that much,but before I met my fiance when me and my friends hung out more often we would spend a lot of time at the mall,and whenever we would go one of my friends loved playing on the escalator he said it was his favorite part of the mall,and it was like a ride,I personally did not care the elevators and the escalators were all the same to me,and they were a whole lot easier to climb then the stairs,and now me and my fiance do not visit the mall since it is in another county and we have more important things to worry about.

I prefer using escalators rather than elevators. In the malls here in the Philippines, the elevators usually get really cramped. A lot of people here would rather use elevators. I'd rather use escalators because for me, they're easier to use. You don't have to wait for them to get to your floor and you don't have to stop on every floor and wait for people to get in and out.

I prefer the stairs.
In our fast lifestyles we often forget the importance of good old manual labour.We donot get enough exercise.So it is better to walk.Also I have found that walking destresses the mind.Our mind gets relaxed and we get a good nights sleep.

I thought an elevator was a lift, but I'm seeing people say escalator so I think I need a translation. LOL.
In the US, and elevator is the box that brings you up and down between floors. And escalator is a moving staircase.
LOL, I'm sorry but I really don't know what you are asking. Does the escalator come into play at all? LOL. I'm so confused.

I don't usually use the elevator, I prefer the escalator in the mall, elevator for me is crowded, and I don't like it. escalator is much better, there's enough room to breathe and my daughter loves the escalator so much! She thinks its a very good ride at the mall.. :) ... saves me from the arcade always!LOL!

I Prefer both, but if i in a mall, i definately would prefer elevator, otherwise if i use lift, i gona miss all those window shopping. He hee. Ya, I use elevater in Malls and lift at my place and office. If i use elevator or its actual name 'Escalator', i can go to all the floor, can visit all the shops even if i want to go top floor, i prefer to visit all the floors and all possible shops in each floors.
