South Park Mall — Attraction in San Antonio

11/7/19 Thurs. 5:45pm. I was interrupted by a tall and gentle speaking I'm guessing homeless man as I was about to eat and get ready to go to my meeting, that he was hungry and if I could buy him something to eat? If a person is hungry don't deny them food, I've always been that way, but this man took advantage of my generosity, he was thankful as we walked to the counter of subway, the employee was busy as we walked up with one customer and was taking to long I didn't have a lot of time left to get myself to my meeting and eat as I was starting to get hungry also, I thought the $6.00 deal but nope and he didn't know what to order, but something said there was a limit to what I was gonna spend but I thought that would be rude of me to do, meanwhile he was back and forth with the new Smokey footlongs then the turkey and we were still waiting by now I was just getting upset because I was not gonna get to eat after all and may be getting to my meeting late, so finally he orders and it is a footlong meal and now he's taking his sweet time in placing his order and I starting to brew, I asked the guy if I could pay cause I need to leave and at that time he asked the guy the size of drink and he wanted a large I said no a small he can get up and get a refill if he wants he did say thank you but I didn't want to hear it I was mad, it cost me $11 and change but before that the security came by and talked to him for a bit and looked at me and walked on, I'm guessing he might be a problem person but he never said anything to me? I left and went to sit down in front of Victoria's secret so I had to go to the restroom and need to leave for my meeting there's only one public place and it's pasted the food court or I have to go all the way across to the backside of Sears I need to be up front instead. At that time I thought what if this guy was sharing the meal he was so hungry for with another homeless guy and as I walked across he was still at the counter, and I went to the restroom, I came out and he was sitting down by himself eating? I ordered an uber the guy came and when I opened the door it was a kid mess and it was dirty, trash and kid shoes empty chip bag and he say it's alright just step on it, I don't like an unstable flooring then the driver made an illegal turn right there by the chase bank there were no cars but why did he have to go all the way from in front of chili's and not make a right turn and go to entry way by Macy's?? There was a light there and it was also a legal left handed turn instead he makes his turn entering a left handed turn for cars traveling from the east and going to the mall from there?? MALL security either needs to have ten people at one time or be more diligent in there job, so get off the phone and look around you would not have missed this guy, I'm sure I wasn't the first person he asked, however I had my back turned to him kinda like he snicked up knowing I had not seem him I don't mind helping someone and if the guys does this often and apparently he has done this before and a blind eye has been turned then security has to do something better than there doing?? I will still help someone that asks but up front there is a limit to what I will spend I should have said that up front other homeless people have not done this before to me, so lesson learned...

I just love its atmosphere ,I love my people . I love all people's don't get me wrong . It's just this particular mall where I can see my cultural people ,my ethnic group of people . If you haven't been around like me . Different states have different people . There are always mixed ethnic groups of people. For me I love to see my people in one place . The children pulling there parents arms saying papa y mama !! I want this or that lol. I get to see what I couldn't see when I was little . My Mexican parents, fussing over me,pulling on their arms . They speaking to me in Spanish that I better behave . This mall is like family ,seeing my family over and over again .Interactions with other families . And you know what? I went to the rest room .My mom is 89 she was walking around the food court . We just finished some Asian foods . And I came back and my mom was sooo happy . Just said she had noticed the Asian food place was closing. They were discounting their plates because of closing for the night . 5 bunks a plate ,my ma said she told herself .I'm going to go over there and buy one for your brother back home . Before she got there this youngster my mom said approached and said let me buy you your plate . My mom said that the young boy almost made her cry for what he just did for me. I said what did he do? He bought that 5 dollar plate for me for your brother . And I saw that look in my mom . A genuine ,happy, that there are still very respectful courteous people still. And you find this happening all the time in this mall. I told my mom that I hear stories of such kindness all the time from this mall. That's why I love this family mall atmosphere . You just can't experience this of its kind anymore . ...

We've always shopped at South Park mall because it's closer to home , and I love how small it is and the fact that there isn't a big crowd around all the time . But yesterday I had an experience different from all my other experience with this particular mall . My sister and I walked into ulta beauty for the first time to hunt for foundation. Being that it was my first time ever going to the store I walked around for a bit checking it out and exploring the options they had available. I find a product I like and I go to test it on my skin my sister snatches it out of my hand really quickly and points toward the cop in the store . I told her "we're fine , he's just making his roundabouts " not to soon after I noticed she had caught on to the fact that we were being heavily watched and followed by the cop . I told my sister to take my bag and get out of the store so he wouldn't think we were stealing or anything so maybe he would quit following us . I was wrong ! the shade I wanted was out so I went to ask the store clerk if they had anymore . I walked across the store ... guess who followed right behind me ( the cop ) I walked with the clerk back to the other side of the store where I waited in a chair with my hands in my lap so he he could stop eyeballing me and the harassment continued. Never in my life have I experienced racial profiling . I walked in that store fully intended to pay for everything I planned to get . Never ever will I be shopping at...
