STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep with a story that plays to every stereotype of women who love to shop and men who don't. A shopping mall in Shanghai wants to keep people occupied while their spouses shop, and so they have husband storage pods. The Global Harbor mall created them. Husbands or - who knows? - wives who want a break while others shop can sit in a glass booth with chairs and PC gaming setup. It's like the children's playroom at the mall, except for grownups. It's MORNING EDITION.
The mall wants to keep people busy while spouses shop. They're called "husband storage pods." Husbands who want a break while others shop can sit in a glass booth with chairs and a PC gaming set up.
