"@mangelo: update - reading the comments, it seems there's a clear difference between what Outlet Malls/Centers used to be, and what they are now.
Now a days - They are identical to any place you walk into, if you were to find a Simon mall."
"@ElizabethD: CAVEAT EMPTOR also ties in pretty heavily to the idea of Consumer Responsibility, and both terms are absent in the mind of most consumers."
"Working retail at an outlet center (or rather, inside a store in an outlet center, so i'm an employee of a Retail company, rather than an employee of an Outlet Center) I feel ire at the approach of a subject such as this.
I've worked in a few different stores ran by a few different companies."
