With all the big brands embracing bitcoins, i don`t think it is unrealistic to believe we will be able to use bitcoin in shopping malls soon. 2014 ? can`t tell for sure. same time next year ? HELL YEAH
I made this thread at the end of 2013, lol.
And I got a reply from Brookstone saying they might start accepting them. They just didn't get enough emails

If they would have started accepting it, everyone in the mall would have.
All it takes is one major retailer to open the flood gates. Keep emailing.
