Between B & C.

I would go with B since it strenghtens the claim that mall shoppers have different 'shopping habits'

Another vote for B folks. I am surprised Paul and Co have not answered these questions?

Also I believe B strengthens the claims of the critics because if the mall shoppers spend 50% more time than typical shoppers do, it seems reasonable that mall shoppers differ in their shopping habits from others.

I am with B on this one.

as stated, the purpose of the interview is to test the ad. effectiveness and buying trends. B suggests that mall shoppers take long time that other's b/c they may be unsure of what they should buy. Thus they take long time choosing in the stuff. Or, probably, they come to the malls for leisure and buy something in the interim.

mall shoppers are not affected by advertisements, have no sense of viability of product, have different ways for doing shopping :wink:

man! Saurya is surely giving hard time :)
