Does your shopping mall have weird rules like this?

Question

I live near a mall called Mayfair. It is probably the best near where i live, in terms of variety of stores, and the general niceness of it. its very well decorated and maintained. however, it does have a slightly higher crime rate than most malls in the area. As a result of this, sometime come spring, new rules are being put in place. anyone who looks like they are under 30 are going to be carded, and if you are under 18 or "look like you are going to cause trouble" you can be denyed admittance. this is all in attempt to reduce crime. however, i happen to think its a little extreme. the majority of the stores in the mall are not stores that anyone past the age of about twenty four would shop in (some people do, but not many). does anybody else have rules like this in place at their malls? i think its a bit extreme and they are probably going to loose a lot of money because the majority of people shopping there are teenagers. your thoughts?

no one i know thinks this makes sense. half the kids who shop there are going to get kicked out on looks alone even if they wouldnt hurt a fly, and the rest are going to get kicked out based on age. my fiance wont even be able to wear his leather trench coat WHICH HE BOUGHT IN THAT MALL!!!! any more. its lame.

nora! thanks for your perspective, i really do mean that honestly. i actually never really hung out in malls till i got out of my teens and even now its mainly just to go to barnes and noble for books, or because i really do need a new pair of pants. interesting perspective. I just think they could have come up with a better alternitive to solving this because they really will be alienating the VAST majority of their customers.
