I made a couple of mall kiosk purchases this week (can's say what, that would spill the beans) and it was a different experience than buying in a store. Generally, the person set up in a kiosk, often an immigrant, is the one who owns the business and they're enthusiastic, friendly and genuinely happy to make the sale.

Of course the product may be junk and you'll never see them again, but that's another issue altogether.
