'Time to give them a taste of their own medicine': Teenagers attempt to prank shopper for social media, he turns the table on them instead

Remember when going to the mall was the ultimate hangout? Back in the day, it was all about freedom—no parents, all the pretzels you could eat, and browsing racks of cheesy graphic tees with your friends. It wasn't just a shopping trip; it was a whole vibe where we could spend hours roaming, people-watching, and if you were lucky, running into your crush. Fast forward to today, and the mall still seems to be a teenage hangout spot, but unfortunately, we live in the day of social media. Malls have transformed into stages for social media hopefuls, where unsuspecting shoppers are fair game for the next viral prank. While we all enjoy our share of guilty pleasure videos, the cringe factor skyrockets when you actually witness these pranks happening in person.

But one man recently gave us all a win when a group of teens tried to prank him and he turned the tables on them, giving them a taste of their own medicine. Social media might've changed the mall scene, but some shoppers are still bringing back the old-school humor.
