On 01.16.16, 1pm, Cafe Area next to Starbucks Coffee, a minor asked if he can use my cellphone to call his mom for a ride home. I informed him to go to the mall information booth or goto a mall security guard or goto a mall store. I witnessed him goto Starbucks n asked to use d phone n he was flatly denied by d manager n staff. The minor walked away n disappeared from my view. Horrorfied, I googled n cell called d mall office number with d following results: (1) there's NO mall information booth; (2) after waiting 30 minutes in the cafe area, NO mall security guard n NO police officer was ever visibly present. Since d mall is located next to a police station n Bart, cases like this didn't matter; (3) there's NO mall policy or procedures n handling these cases. So, mall stores r unaware with untrained store staff in handling these situations. Since there's NO mall enforcement nor penalties these situations r not taken seriously; (4) there's NO child safety signage n d mall nor at respective stores. Shocked, I conducted a private survey going to the following stores: Curry express, Game Stop, Kendama Syndicate, and Best Phone Repair. I asked if there was any official store document policy or procedures in handling these situations. They all blankly said, "NO" .

Plenty of parking in front of Sears, Target, JC Penney, and Barnes & Noble. San Bruno Bart Station is conveniently located behind Tanforan - perfect for those that use public transportation. There is a moderate selection of eateries from those located in the food court, such as Panda Express, Charley's, Starbucks, Andersen Bakery and Five Guys. There are four entertainment areas for kids and adults: Hop n Play ($$), Children's Play Area (free), Dart OPS ($) and Gamma Arcade ($). Century Theater is located on the 2nd level near the food court, which is usually congested with people in line to pay for a movie as well as groups of people crowding around. Tanforan Mall is usually a clean mall - the only area that I think are unsanitary are the restrooms and Children's Play Area. Luckily, you can buy sanitary wipes at Target if you're a germophobe.

Below, I list my concerns about Tanforan Mall: congested traffic flow of people (within the mall) and cars (outside of the mall) on weekdays after 3pm and weekends congested entrances at Sears and off Hwy 380 long lines at Target, even when all registers are open

I've been visiting Tanforan Mall since I was a kid, so there's no reason for me to stop. I can get all my shopping done here and that's what I'm...
