The malls should enforce rules against loitering perhaps, but carding kids to restrict entry into what is essentially a public place, is overkill, IMO. Its always easier to ban than it is to police, isnt it??..
What exactly is "loitering" in a mall? Half the time you are standing around doing nothing.
I think this rule is ridiculous.
Most people sitting and talking in the food court would be "loitering."
