Those men never figured out how to beat the system. Every mall has a Mexican restaurant, where they serve margaritas and cervezas or the mall has a bar. Find the nearest one while the woman shops and have at it.
I was lucky...my ex-wife, then girlfriends were not shoppers. My mom, on the other hand, is a professional. Good Lord was she crazy at shopping. Having to go with her sometines is how I learned to hate shopping.
