Many stores now have escalators going from floor to floor. Don't use these new- fangled contraptions. You could pinch something. Instead, try the stairs. These require exertion on your part, but may get you to the luggage department before the season ends.
Stairs are easy to find.
In most stores they're near the rest rooms. At many malls the stairs are only 400 yards beyond the festive winter scene beside the multi-tiered fountain. If you can't find the stairs, head toward the rest room anyway, as the fountain's flowing waters will have given you reason to be there. This isn't referring to your waist line. Oh my, look at the time.
