What others have said in passing I will say more emphatically. Don’t confuse large numbers of people at a mall with large retail sales, especially of the high ticket variety.
I’m not a big spender, but I enjoy going to the malls. I usually look around, buy a plain cup of coffee and maybe a newspaper, sit and read, and then go home.
Next time you are at Fashion Valley try to notice how many people are actually buying big ticket items. I’ll bet not that many.
