i worked there for years a year ago. The mall cops are cool, just doing their jobs...

Dude smack in the middle of lawrenceville, do you know how many wiggers, wannabe gangbanger eminem worshipping kids there are? A LOT. Always walking around trying to shoulder check random people and trying to start fights, bringing high school drama to the mall, etc etc. Its just stupid. I was good friends with like 3 of the mall cops that worked there (the younger ones) The older guys can kinda be dicks but they have to be. Two of the ones i knew, Some kid named trevor (i think he's in the marines now) but we used to fuck around with people like, watch out for the spill (lol invisible spill) and people would step to avoid it LOL.... And the other one, "EMOcop" as we called him... we got pretty tight, so they let A LOT slide. haha

but any how yeah, its mainly for liability reasons, They don't know to what degree you're "skateboarding" they can't allow "a little" skateboarding.... Because how would they quantify it? Someone would just be like "well he's skateboarding, so will I" etc etc. They have to enforce zero tolerance, because any type of sport like that in general is an insurance liability, anything can happen, their equipment can get damaged, people can get hurt, customers can find it unprofessional. But yeah honestly the company I ran got in a few run ins with them all you have to do is talk to the head (i believe his name is Richard Morrow) or something, talk to him one on one, just appologize, be straight up and he'll explain WHY you can't do it. (if you still don't understand)

They aren't profiling, they aren't being nazi's... they are just doing what upper management has outlined for them. Upper mgmt has outlined that for a reason.... =$$$.
