Now this one is a little far fetched....or is it? Consider the situation where a mall (most likely a "mega mall") installs additional GPS technology inside the building that can send a very precise location to your phone? It is completely possible to know your location by store, floor, even department! Now if you are shopping in Macy's for blue jeans in the Men's Department, what if you received a message from Dillard's that they had just started a sale on Men's blue jeans? Or, you could scan the barcode of the item you are considering, and search the rest of the mall for a particular size! There is already scanning technology available. I forget the name of the app, but you can scan any barcode and it will automatically search the web for that particular product in online stores. This is just a matter of taking the same concept and applying it to a "mall" database.
Another cool feature ~ you are ready for dinner and you look at the list of restaurants and place a seating request via your phone to get your name on the waiting list! This way when you arrive, your seat is ready!
