Standing above the crowd in the Mall of Georgia’s Food Court, I see endless rows of tables and chairs for people to take a seat. Plopped straight in the middle is a water fountain. Encircling the food court from left to right is fast food restaurants of vast varieties, including Taco Bell, Checkers, and many more. And at the very top of the food court is the main entrance of the mall. Swarms of people are constantly passing through the food court the whole time.

          The restaurants, tables, and chairs occupy the majority of the space which are there to attract people to the food court. The restaurants want the people to buy their food. The tables and chairs  are for the people to settle their belongings and for the people to rest themselves. As people pass by, some stop to toss a coin in the water fountain for some good luck or a wish.

          The people in the space are either passing through, stopping by to have a meal, or sitting as they wait. The people who are just passing by are either in a rush or just nonchalantly walking; they come and leave through the automatic sliding doors at the main entrance of the mall. Some of the people getting food are standing in front of the fast food restaurants trying to decide what they want to eat or are in lane to order and pay for their food.

            There isn’t a certain type of person who occupy the space. The people are diverse and are there for different reasons. They range from groups, couples, or to just a party of one. Usually, these people come to the food court after they’ve finished shopping, watching a movie, or they’ve come to find something to eat.
