Great Lakes Crossing, home of the oh-so-classy Rainforest Cafe, the immaculate food court, and the easily accessible store that you just need to run into quickly. Nestled right into the tightly-packed crossroads of the expressway and the main road to get anywhere in Auburn Hills, the monstrous beast of a shopping mall is likely to consume an entire day just by parking outside of the wrong district of the mall. That's right, a mall so large it needs to be separated into districts.
1. Taking 25 minutes to get in a parking lot is the cherry on top of my Saturday.
Gosh, when I get there I love traveling and traveling because I just NEED that front spot. My favorite is when someone looks like they're leaving, but they're really just sitting in their car to get away from the madness.
2. No one can drive!
Man, whipping around those corners is just so fun because right when you do, another car is coming right at you. The best is when you're trying to get down an aisle and another car almost crashes into you!
3. Because walking at a relatively normal pace is so overrated.
The slowness is the best thing about it! Who wants to actually get into their stores and get stuff done? Not me! I want to be stuck behind a family of five!
4. Because taking all 20 of your kids to the mall is a GREAT idea!
Having to watch all your kids and make sure they don't run away is super!
5. The lines are so long and I love it!
Taking a half hour inside of Forever 21 is just dandy! I mean, at least they have little trinkets to look at while you're waiting, right?
6. Turning the temperature up to 90 degrees is so comforting while I’m shopping.
Feeling the sweat run down my back makes me feel so nice! I especially love when it’s noticeable.
7. Because lines of teenage girls take up the whole aisle and I can never get past them!
Snapchat and texting is super important! I get it!
8. I absolutely love when unsupervised kids are running around!
Where is your mom? WHO CARES!
9. Not to mention almost running into the kids!
Did I accidentally run into this small child? Yes, I did. Do they care? No, they do not.
10. Trying to take a potty break is almost impossible and I love feeling the need to pee myself!
When the line goes out the door, at least there is a little couch there.
11. Coming back out to the parking lot after I'm done and forgetting where I parked!
Am I in A2? Maybe! HAHA JUST KIDDING I'M IN F5!
12. When I finally find where I parked, it takes another 25 minutes to get out of the parking lot!
Letting people through is just a big no-no! Priorities, I get it.
13. When I'm thirsty and the McDonald's outside of the mall is the best place for me to get a drink, I adore waiting in that line for 20 minutes!
"Yes, I'll have a Dr. Pepper AND A SIDE OF HELP ME."
14. Realizing I forgot to get what I actually went to the mall for after I get home!
Oops. No going back now.
