discrimination against single men

I chose to live in Bilal Suites because its just over the road from City Centre Shopping Mall. I work long hours, six days a week, and a large mall so close appeared to be handy.

Now, however, it appears that I am not to be allowed in on my only day off, from 10 am to 10 pm. Its now Family Day every Friday in City Centre.

Please explain why having a few unruly screaming kids would make me a preferred shopper?

The Sheraton has a large assortment of Chinese tarts in its bar on a Thursday. If I have one of these stay over, and take her with me to the shops in the morning, that too would appear to make me more acceptable in this strange town.

I am usually well dressed, and always quietly spoken and polite when shopping. I dont spend all day browsing - I am usually organised in advance and am straight in and out.

I invite someone from City Centre management to advise why I can no longer shop on Fridays

i thought it was a nice place as my friends there had told me... so it means i can never have a get-away shopping once i arrive there then... so sad.....

last Friday my single male colleague called me to see if I would go with him to CC as he tried to get in and they wouldn't let him. He just wanted to pick up a few things and we were all of 20 minutes once inside. I would rather see the mall full of single guys than the noise level created by hundreds of undisciplined screaming kids. I couldn't believe it when I saw a group of toddlers with 5 or 6 year olds taking turns going up and down the escalator while the parents talked and ignored them (and their safety).
