I hate doing my Christmas shopping at the mall
I don’t mind the cold that much, but I hate being overheated. That’s why I am rarely seen in public in the winter wearing my winter coat. Oh, I’ll put it on before I leave the house and keep it on in the car, with the heater on low. But, I will take it off before I go into a public store or restaurant. I wasn’t always that way. Years ago, as soon as I entered a store or restaurant in the winter, I would take off my winter coat and get stuck holding and carrying the bulky thing. So, now I just leave it in the car. Sure, it’s a cold walk from my heated car to whatever heated store or restaurant that I am going to, but at least I won’t get overheated. I know these stores and restaurants want their customers to be comfortable, but, in my opinion, most turn their thermostats up to high. Most of the customers are dressed for the cold weather and I know that I am not the only one that gets overheated in public places during the winter. I keep my own heat at home on 66 degrees, and while I don’t suggest the stores and restaurants do that, they certainly don’t need to put the heat on 85, which sometimes it feels like. I hate doing my Christmas shopping at the mall. While the mall walkways and hallways are usually comfortable, the stores are often hot and stuffy. Even without my winter coat, I get overheated. Seriously, why do they have to turn the heat up so high?
