Are the shops in the department store directly opposite the straight staircase?

Basically no problem, because there are doors here and in the mall, and there is no road robbery at all. Furthermore, you must be afraid that there are aisles on both sides, just like exposing yourself, which makes you feel insecure. Actually, it's psychological. As long as you often sit near the counter around you, there is no problem. If you are still afraid, you can put a pot of big leaf plants near the arrow. I wish you success in your business transaction.
