I can think of a few reasons one partner would want to be off alone for a bit, or where the other person is going to just be standing there saying nothing bored for a bit because the person shopping needs to concentrate on what they’re going to buy. If I’m honest going to a big mall like this is not something we’d do on a regular basis these days and getting the hell out of it would probably be high on our priority list, so in all likelihood we’d have split to sort anything that could be sorted independently so we could spend some time doing something we actually enjoy.
You think it’s not okay to spend personal time away from your SO?
Hell no. But if you are going to the mall with them, at least make an attempt.

That would be the “make an attempt” part, yes.
I can play video games at home. Paying to play video games in a mall does not constitute “an attempt”.
