Stores

Post Reply New Topic

Is it just me or are stores the enemy of all aspies. I mean they are loud, frequently unpredictable, crowded, and just all round nerveracking. Sadly my dad doesn't understand why I hate them so much so still insists on dragging me there (me and my lil bro still tend to fight sometimes but nothing to ever make anyone think I could hurt him... besides for the sociopath, aka my stepmom.) Anymore when I am on my own I either go to what is commonly referred to here as the "ghettovee" (the chain of stores it belongs too is called HiVee) as that is always almost empty and quite quiet or the Schnucks that is always almost empty though alot bigger with my mom. So does anyone else here hate stores with a passion!

I hate Wal-Mart because it is crowded, loud, and staffed by morons. I ordered something from Wal-Mart and they couldn't fill the order after they had more than a month to do so. I'm NEVER buying anything from Wal-Mart again because of this incident. I'm also going to send them reciepts of stuff I might have bought there but didn't because of the treatment I have recieved.

walmart=evillll!! ! it's so unorganized! especially in the entertainment section. i spend half my time in walmart organizing the movies. plus, it's loud and there are always these raucous high pitched gigglers walking through the aisles.

Yes! I have store-phobia; I always feel like I'm being watched by everyone in a store. I think this is because they try to keep everything as bright as possible to detract from shoplifting, but it's unnerving to me to just go grocery shopping. Not to mention trying to maneuver the cart around all those angry looking old ladies and hugging couples. I hate ordering fast food as well because I always feel really cheap and tacky, like the clerk is looking down at me or something. But the absolute worst kind of store is the department store or clothing store, especially when you have someone with you that expects you to try stuff on. I don't even know why I have so much trouble with it.

By the way, do you live in Nebraska? I grew up in Omaha and that's the only place I've ever heard of there being a Hy-Vee.

i despise trying on clothes(though it's necessary at times). i just want to buy what i need and leave.

the walmart employees aren't great...i asked one of the employees where i could find Scrubs on DVD. she muttered "Yeah." and walked away. i stood slightly confused as to what had just happened and then i realized...she wants me to follow her!

I hate Walmart. I always go into the Entertainment section and I want quick service. The people who are supposed to be working are standing around and visiting. It gets very annoying, after a while. Walmart is the route of all Evil.

I hate shopping, but I don't think that I mind stores unless they're really crowded. Even then as long as I park far away and stay out of the crowded areas I usually do just fine.

I love Wal Mart because of the low prices but if you go to Portland, you will have a hard time finding a Wal Mart there. Portlanders do not like Wal Mart because they keep objecting them to be in their neighborhoods I been told. But you will find one in the rich part of town. Spokane only has two and one in the valley. Here where my parents live, we have the smallest Wal Mart in the USA one of my teachers said when I was in high school. I have no problems with stores. But I never been in a store on a black friday. I want to try it sometime. I heard it's crazy. Lot of people I know don't like them so they avoid them and they're NTs.

The second floor of Tsutaya in Kumamoto is insane--walking in, you're bombarded by about 4 different musical selections at the same time, all of which are simultaneously audible. The NOISE, it is incredible. I can only hang around about 10 minutes in there. After that, I'm liable to go insane and start wreaking bloody carnage on anyone around me.

Seriously. It's unreal. (The noise and overstimulation, I mean, not the bloody carnage. Actually that is also unreal. But you get my drift.)

I HATE SHOPPING!

I hate shops that play music. I can't think about what I need to buy and listen to music at the same time. Overload alert!! !

I have always wondered why stores think that the latest architectural design...which involves high, open ceilings, and annoying mercury-vapor lights, tile floors, and other hard surfaces, is actually appealing. I remember department stores of old that had less annoying fluorescent lights, acoustical tile ceiling, and at least some carpeting here and there. The other thing I cannot stand is that they somehow think that barraging the customers with squawky announcements over the PA system, and TV's in every department showing different programming is actually going to attract people to buy there....WRONG ANSWER!! !

The problem is with most new stores is that noise reverberiates within the building becasue there is nothing there to absorb sound. A pin dropped at the far corner can be heard at the opposite for several minutes as the noise bounces and reverberates off all the hard surfaces. Fill the store with whiney kids, noisey TV's, cash registers, and everything else, and the chaos becomes unbearable!! !!

What happened to the department store of the 40's and 50's. You know, the one you see on Christmas stories and stuff. The nicely decorated ones filled instead with subued piano music, pleasant, helpful employees, and LESS NOISE. Stores that one may actually find attractive to look at the architectural elements of!

I do my grocery shopping at a small store, and stop by a small convience store & a small hardware store every now and then. I do 98% of my shopping online or at yard sales...it's been that way for years. I hate shopping....the only thing I hate more is probably eating out...if it doesn't have a drive thru or a take-out menu...forget it.

here walmart has the t.v.s suspended from the cieling and they have some in english and some in spanish and you can hear them both at the same time, the aisles are crowded and the people in the entertainment section have not only no idea what they are doing, but they don't work, their registers are always closed and if you try to inturrupt their conversations to ask a question they get cross

fortunatly here walmart has killed everything else so I can go everywhere but walmart and it be empty, but my family usually will drag me to wal mart if I go shopping with them, and I usually go shopping with them because a good portion of the time I can't drive


BUT when I can get it worked out sometimes we go shopping at odd hours <24 hour towns are good in a lot of ways> if you go to wal-mart at 3 AM all the t.v.s are off, almost no PA announcements, much less staff, you can find what you want and be done, really early and really late are also good times to go grocery shopping <really early for groceries, at least produce, is prefferable in my experience>
