and this would absolutely wrong and total nonsense, at least in  
America. In American, EVERY mall is private property and is  
specifically posted as such. No one may do research within them  
without the express written consent of the mall owners. You'll find  
that posted on the outside doors of virtually every mall you enter.  
If it isn't posted on the doors, it's up on a wall someplace. If you  
don't believe me, just call your local marketing firm and ask them  
about the contracts and permissions they have to sign with the mall  
in order to do research within.
