    What about the people who work there? Are they trying to make them quit then become homeless and leave the mall too?

      According to the article, it plays in the emergency exit stairwells, a place that if you’re using it you should be trying to leave as quickly as possible.

        If I was escaping a fire, and the stairwell had baby shark playing, I’d walk back into the fire.

          I really don’t want to die with Baby Shark being the last song I hear

          Descending the stairwell to escape a fire during the “Run Away” verse could be funny
