Many Americans are getting their first taste of
what pandemic shopping looks like at their
local mall.
Simon Property Group, the nation’s largest mall
operator, reopened several dozen shopping
centers across Texas, Georgia and roughly ten
other states between Friday and Monday.
There, a new reality is on display: Play areas
and water fountains are off limits. Employees
wear masks and shopping in groups is banned.
Shoppers can also get their temperature
checked for free on the premises.
Among other changes: Every other urinal
and sink is taped off, and there’s ample space
between seating in the food court. Simon
also has technologies that will make sure
occupancy will not exceed one person for
every 50 feet (15 meters).
