It’s no secret: Chinese dudes really, really, really don’t like shopping compared to their wives and girlfriends. In 2013, one notorious incident saw an especially exhausted and frustrated man take his own life rather than check out another shoe store with his eager girlfriend during an intense Christmas shopping spree.

Shanghai’s Global Harbor Mall, described as a mega mall and one of the largest shopping centers in both China and the world, is apparently offering couples a special compromise to alleviate the stressors that might pop up during their visit. New husband storage units are meant to keep men safe, sound and comfortable while their significant others are getting their retail therapy.

Each of the miniature glass cells contains a chair, a computer, and a surprisingly large selection of retro games to keep its occupant occupied. In their debut run, the pod-like waiting contraptions are totally free, but the mall hopes to start charging money for them later in the year.

The Chinese publication, The Paper interviewed several men who tried out the new feature. A very happy Mr. Yang excitedly declared “Really great. I’ve just played Tekken 3 and felt like I was back at school!” Unfortunately, according to another interviewee, none of the units come with any ventilation or air conditioning, so you can sit for five minutes and be absolutely “drenched in sweat.”

A sweaty husband perfumed by the perspiration of men before him sounds like it could cause more harm than good.

Reception over social media has been mixed as ever. One Weibo wife indicated that she would refuse to see her husband be anything less than an active participant, questioning “If my husband just wants to go out and play games, what’s the point of bringing him out?”

And according to Kotaku, there have been husband storage facilities since the mid 2000’s. They were essentially large waiting rooms for men.

With the innovation of these private pods, however, it looks like The Global Harbor Mall is stepping up its husband babysitting game!
