This place is horrible with immoral business practices.

It was my first time back in over 20 years. It going fine when a woman in the middle of mall on the first floor approached me and started talking to me about a hair straightener. I foolish told her she could tell me about the product, which turned into her taking out my scrunchy(without any warning or consent from me and started straightening my hair). I wasn't happy but didn't make an issue of it. Then I stupidity said I'd buy it($200). Then she tells me they have a hair dresser who since I bought it would do my hair for free. He come over and starts pressuring tho buy $300 worth of hair products(two items in total) and hair dryer, and asked about extensions. I said no repeatedly and I was NOT allowed to leave, they had my money but I had no product. And while all this was going on he kept asking me personal questions(some of with I answered and some I ducked) and kept saying what a "nice person I was" and expressing sympathy and it was incredibly minipulate. I was kept there for over 40 minutes. He lowered the price of the hair care products to $100, I wanted to ask for my 200 back and leave, but at this point he sat down in front of my shopping bag from a different store I had been at so I caved just so I could escape. I was warned down, emotionally manipulated, I felt violated, I went back to my apartment and cried. What was supposed to be fun day of escape turned into a nightmare. I even hated, really hated how my hair felt when they were done with it. And when I was allowed to leave he said it non-refundable. Any mall that would let this go on in there facility is disgusting, and morally reprehensibleand I will NEVER go back there. How dare you let people who go to your mall be treated this way. On top of everything else I have entrapment issues and t*uma, so feeling trapped from not being allowed to leave without buying anything I couldn't afford was really...

Electric Vehicle owners beware, and shop owners association take note: The Simon Property Group, which owns the Mall, has installed a number of charging stations for electric vehicles. The intent is to encourage visitors to the Mall, not only customers who intend to go to the Mall, but to bring in travelers who need a charging station on their trips (which is my situation). The user is charged a fee per Session and 20 cents a minute. In my case, as an infrequent user of public fast chargers (and so without a $15/month subscription) I am charged a $5 fee per session (in addition to the 20 cents/minute). However a session is limited to 30 minutes. The rationale is that this keeps users from staying too long and using up a spot. That can make sense to some extent I suppose, but it doesn't really do that: once a 1/2 hour session ends, a customer could spend all day in the Mall while using up a spot, without incurring a fee. The real purpose of the 1/2 hour limit is to rake in the cash: it cost me over $45 to charge my Chevy Bolt from 16% to near 100%. And one of those sessions was interrupted. Guess how much that 7 minute session cost? $5 (well, $6.40 with the electricity). Did I use the Mall while there? You bet. I bought a number of things on each visit. And then I got home from my vacation, and received the first bill. Will I use the station again? Here's the thing: FAST CHARGING STATIONS ARE NOT COMMON - they are few and far between outside of major urban centers. There are any numbers of EV charging maps out there, and for my kind of car, with fast-charging capability, it is a virtual desert along the Interstate stretch between western Vermont and Salem, NH (which was close to the limit of my range), with my destination being Cape Cod. So yes, I will probably have to use this station again. Will I go in the Mall? Sure, I'll want to stretch my legs. BUT I'M NOT BUYING ANYTHING. I got tapped out...
