CostCo gets me because of the bright lights and the number of people constantly zipping around near me. I never know which way they're going to turn or move, and it shoots my stress levels way up.

My overstimulation in big grocery stores causes me to space out in the middle of grocery shopping and sometimes I forget why I'm there or what I'm looking for as a result. I have low tolerance for waiting in line to check out or seeking help from associates.

Ironically you wanna talk about a very overstimulating store, Apple Stores are it! What's supposed to be a computer haven store for the geek in all of us is treated as a party gathering place for yuppies alike and I hate it. I can't even walk into this store because there's way too many people in it conversing with the store associates on topics I would have no interest in anyway like they're hosting a convention in the store. I just want to look at stuff.
