Count me out on the 30 percent rule. A mall can sit at 45 percent occupancy and still be dying if the stores left are all phone repair kiosks, a GNC, and a Bath and Body Works holding the whole place together. Real death is about foot traffic and money, not store count. I have seen malls with 60 open stores that feel more dead than a gutted one because nobody is buying anything and the lights are half off in the halls. Setting a number just gives people a pass to keep posting the same tired "is this mall dead" pics of a place that is clearly fine.

Man that stings because I did almost the exact same thing. Bought a screen tablet right away thinking it would be a shortcut, then spent months hunched over it with my neck killing me and lines that still looked like shaky garbage. @tylermurray saying it just trains hand eye coordination kinda misses the point, for me the slab forced my eyes up on the monitor so my hand and cursor finally synced up after years of fighting it. Hate that the shop guy was right but he totally was.
