TIME (2007) 7/9

RAWE (41-42)  Mall rats are young teens who go to malls after school. They are so many and they buy so little that malls are now making a calculated choice to call a curfew. They have to leave by 5 or 6 pm. They scare others and they are a drag on profits. They also both security risks   and are known to do really stupid things. The teens may go to another mall or not shop at the mall they were discriminated against, but most will come back with their heads a bit more straight. At the moment, malls are the after school babysitter.Some have a 2 pm curfew.
