When you go to the shops which do you go for first, the stairs, escalators or the lift? I always go for the stairs if there are stairs, but these days not all shops have stairs

Hey there Anne18 I normally take the stairs as it is usually quicker. You can normally find the stairs quicker as they tend to be at the front of the store and the lift at the back! I remember when I had my kids in buggies that it would really, really annoy me waiting ages for the lift to come only to see some able bodied, lazy person walk out of it!!

[i]Hi Anne, I always choose escalators when I am running out of time but when I have a lot of time and I am just enjoying my eyes, I will choose the stairs![/i]

I use the stairs just because it is extra exercise. If I can work in little extra walking, or climb stairs instead of an elevator, I'd prefer to do that.

For me it is stairs, I dont care for elevators at all and escalators make me feel a tad uneasy. If I have to go up lots of stairs thou and have kids with me ect., I will bite the bullet and use something other then the stairs.

Stairs for me! I am claustrophobic, and I hate lifts. I use lifts only if there is somebody with me to rescue me should anything "happen." Of course, nothing will "happen," but I still hate lifts. Cheers and happy mylotting

if not many floor i have to walk, will take stairs. but here in shopping malls the stair cases are at behind and are mostly not visible from the general area. one has to find it really. in that case escalator for me.

Hello,Anne! I always prefer to walk up the stairs as by that we are doing some exercise.Upto the fourth stair I can move on feet and if it is more than that I will use the lift for convenience.thanx.

I usually go for the escalators. Most of the stores I go to in the malls don't have stairs so I have to either go by escalator or elevator. So I choose the escalator.

That would depend on whether or not I have the kids with me and whether or not I have a stroller with me. Usually I use the escalator if they aren't with me or I don't have a stroller.

Hi Anne, I always use the stairs if they are there but they aren't always so will have a panic on me if they aren't then decide to use the escalators.

If I'm in a hurry I'll take the stairs. I like to use the escalators. I avoid the elevators. What if the elevator breaks down and you're stuck with a weirdo.
