All except for the mall part. I'm counting on doing my shopping through some sort of in-home online holographic wizardry, and never stepping foot in a mall. The Quids will probably just go to tip space-bellboys and waiters and the like. I'm assuming if I can afford to go into space, I can afford to tip the bellboy--unless of course I am the bellboy (or girl in this case.) Come to think of it, the latter scenario actually sounds more likely. Very fun! All except for the mall part.
