The Global Harbour mall in Shanghai is introducing the booths with the intent of entertaining men who are waiting for their significant others to finish their shopping trip.
Obviously this is a little bit sexist – girls like gaming and boys like shopping too – but they’ve gone right ahead with the idea anyway, even calling them ‘Husband Pods’.
These booths invite husbands or boyfriends into a clear box, which contains a luxury seat in front of a PC gaming system.
