I remember being a teenager and some stores I stopped going into because it was clear I was being followed because obviously I was a criminal since I was a child. Its like dude I am here to spend money I earned through my job, but I guess not, good day.

Honestly I feel like this partially killed the malls. Most of the stores at the one I went to would follow all teenagers and make you leave any bag or purse at the counter. We eventually just stopped going. No one likes giving money to someone treating you like a criminal.

Oh my local mall just outright banned unaccompanied minors, which is funny because every store also relies on minors to suppress wages.

Same. Ours went to no unaccompanied minors after 5pm, I'm sure parents loved that.
