Malls Thread

[dr. d]

Currently here at Evia Lifestyle Mall, a newly opened Coffee Project x Fully Booked. Dulo sya ng mall and it's a large place, open space and there's a lot of book shelf scattered around the place. You can read books while having coffee or eating.

But I have doubt this kind of style will last, but I hope it does. I just have doubts how Filipino use this kind of place. Reading books while you eat? Greasy hands? Spilling coffee? And it's open space, I doubt there will be a lot of people stealing books pero there is still possibility. I hope the books remains clean and pristine.

it's hard to read books, without proper lighting.

Sounds like Robin Padilla type person

[kagalingan]

nakow ulysis,

Tingnan ko kung saan mapupunta yung robin padilla description mo sa akin. You are so mechanically wrong.

Kagabi sa isang community supermarket in manila eh nalapitan na naman ako chinaman. Sa dami ng tao doon eh ako pa fashionable napili. Nagpapatulong ng directions. Yung smartphone nya may apps ng translation "where is blah blah". Ito yung chinaman na mid 20s. Two boys and two girls. Magaan aura ko kaya lagi na-aapproach.

This year tatlo na sa ongpin at first time sa supermarket nagtanong sa akin chinaman

approachable ba si robin? Magaan ba aura?


- - - -

Pero usapang supermarket na din. 15minutes before eh meron ako nakasalubong na parang hot mama pinay maputi makinis. Grabe nagkaroon kami ng eye contact tapos sa ibang aisle nagkakaasabay kami tapos mafefeel mo hindi rin umaalis nagisstay pa talaga. Naghihinayang ako bakit hindi ako nagmake ng move kasi kita ko sa peripherals na tumitig eh. Pero iniisip ko na lang baka may asawa sa labas nag-aantay. (pampaluhbag-loob)

So nung nagtanong si chinaman sa akin eh nawala na sa attention ko si hot mahma. Hinanap ko nawala na. Pumunta ako sa cashier area waley na din. Mukhang umakyat ng second floor-4th floor.

Mallrats maze: Netizens square off on the most confusing mall in PH

So who’s the worst mall planner: Sy, Ayala, or Gokongwei ?

What started as a simple tweet quickly blew up into a lively debate on Twitter as netizen *qarloscuiapo lamented just how tedious it was to navigate the SM-run Podium mall in Ortigas.

Carlos Quiapo *qarloscuiapo
the podium has got to be the most confusing mall in the philippines

Others quickly shared their frustration. Some claimed SM Megamall with its four buildings hold the record as the most confusing site, while others claim it‘s Glorietta in Makati or Trinoma in Quezon City.

lai *mngscrngy
SM Mega (may Bldg A-D, may Atrium pa)

Glorietta (may 1-5), lakad ka kaunti nasa SM ka na. Pagbaling mo sa kabila, Greenbelt ka na. Hahahaha

Kristoffer Pasion *indiohistorian

Sorry, it's still Trinoma for me. The mall center is the galactic core, while the surrounding pathways going outward from the center are like intertwining arms of a spiral galaxy. The mall parking however is a diff matter. Supernova sa kalat. lol.

Another netizen cited the gigantic SM Mall of Asia or Robinsons Manila as the labyrinth king in the country.

DJ *DjNazareno

I nominate SM Mega, SM MoA, and Robinson's Manila. �� More than 8 years ko na silang pinupuntahan pero i still kennat.

Some offered an explanation why mall owners want to confuse shoppers like lab rats.

“This is true. Tipong kung impulse buyer ka, may dala ka ng paper bag from a store kahit babanyo ka lang naman dapat (dahil madadaanan mo muna lahat ng stall bago mo pa makita ang CR),” *peachwrites said.

not to seem like a fake expert but you'll notice that most malls and department stores are designed to be just a bit overwhelming. this is called the gruen transfer and its effect is to confuse people navigating the space to make them susceptible to impulse purchases.



Darth Vater *hearmerow

Same sentiments! Sa Archi, escalators are a big part of marketing. That's why yung layout eh para kang umiikot para makapunta ng another floor, it is meant to circle u around, especially sm malls.

Karle Paz TriNoma's dizzying circular vortex design - always got detoured when going to the MRT station attached even when it's not that big.

Michael Koa Ayala malls can be confusing, but they're still more aesthetically pleasing. I remember seeing their Tagaytay mall. It looks like a tourist spot. Then you look at any SM mall that look like children's blocks put together.
- - - - - - - - -

Yola Savellan Ayala Malls. But I love the way how they considered to maximize and optimize space. I also love that they have enough restrooms that are well-maintained. I also love the fact that most of their employees can give you accurate directions. They are also a lot more courteous. I'd go to an Ayala Mall rather than an SM Mall because of these considerations. (parang si cathey ito ah )

David Paul Gonzalo Mejia Megamall, sobrang dali. Most of it is just a straight line. Podium isn't very exciting but it's nice. Nakakaligaw sa Glorietta pero oks lang. Same with Trinoma. Ang kasumpa sumpa talaga ay yung Lucky Chinatown Mall/168 Mall combo. Try nyo.

Mia Jean Worst: Trinoma
Followed by: Glorietta ( lighting and zoning are agonizing)
I still go for SM. Just straight to the point..and has most brands especially in SM Megamall ‼️

Benjo Dalmacio-Demition I vote for Trinoma. Still unfamiliar even i have been there a countless times. Parking is even worse

Michael Angelo Timoteo Ayala malls are most confusing, circle pattern then full of building segments, just look at Glorietta.

Leng Villaraiz Most confusing mall to me, Glorietta and Trinoma! Parking included. Crazyyy!!!
Eon John Flores The traffic inside the trinoma mall premises.. ��
Leng Villaraiz Mia Jean we have the same feeling! Sad.
Mia Jean Leng Villaraiz and Trinoma has this "sad" vibe ����
Leng Villaraiz Rafael Reyes confusing right??? Glorietta. I’ve grown up in this mall but until now I am still having a hard time finding my way.
Leng Villaraiz Mia Jean TRUE!!! My driver got lost in trinoma parking lot hahaha! Waited for more than an hour to be fetched in the grocery!
Rafael Reyes Leng Villaraiz Glorietta it is hahahaha
Mia Jean Leng Villaraiz can feel your frustration with their parking‼️��

ineexpect kasi niya lahat ng post niya sa tsikot forum memorize natin

This time he expects all of you to recall his criticisms about malls

Tapos ibangga niyo sa mga pinost niya above

Kaya tama na naman daw siya

[dr. d]

if one says a lot about many things, no matter how strange,
eventually, may masasabi rin siyang tama.
and that is what "kagalingan right again!" is all about.
nevair mind if that occurs only in one out of a thousand things he says.
