You are on the first floor of the mall and you need to get to a store on the second floor. How do you get up there?
A. Stairs
B. Elevator
C. Escalator
D. Whichever is closest
If you chose A, B, or sometimes D, that makes sense.
If you chose C, who are you? Evel Knievel?

They are kind of like one of the high thrill rides at DisneyWorld. Malls should consider putting a height chart next to them, like at theme parks where you can see if you're tall enough to ride them.
shareC. Escalator -- exclusively, unless if they are way too far away, I'd begrudgingly choose the stairs.
When I was a child, my cousin of the same age sliced her hand on an escalator, but there was a clinic at the top level right next to said escalator.
