Chinese malls feature dycare for husbands who hate shopping

http://kotaku.com/chinese-wives-can-put-their-men-in-husband-storage-1495375004

Some married men love shopping. They adore it. But some absolutely abhor it. And in China, there's a special place wives can ditch them: husband storage!P

Called "laogong jicun chu" in Chinese (老公寄存处 , which literally means "husband cloakroom," the rest stations are for husbands who are either knackered from shopping or for those who would rather spend their time doing something else.


(snip)

The rest areas vary, with some offering a place to watch TV, smoke, or surf the net. Others offer food and drinks to order and books and magazines to read.

Some just have benches for the men to sit and think.

That way I can take my time and not worry about him being bored.

I generally don't spend enough to require a pack mule or need to drop stuff off.
