I'm lead to believe that some people here have a thing for dead malls, so here's my local example.
The final stores in this outlet mall closed in 2016, after years of decline. In the meantime, it's accumulated a layer of shitty graffiti, been lightly scrapped, and has suffered a lot of broken windows, which make for very convenient entrances to each store.
I did some last minute birthday shopping here in 2014 or 2015, and even then I was struck by how desolate it was. By that point, the bulk of the customers came in on bus tours from New York and New Jersey. This place somehow managed to get itself listed as a station on that route, but even that couldn't keep it afloat. It's scheduled to be demolished by the end of this year, to be replaced with warehouses or undefined light industry.
Many of these shots seem pretty same-y to me, but hey, it's a mall. If repetitive monotony doesn't sum up the world of customer service, I don't know what does.
