Are you me? I had a near identical experience at Olive Garden. I was curled up on the floor of my bathroom in pain for hours, unable to move. Haven't eaten there since... mental block is too strong.

Winco. Only because I work there and I don't want any of you filthy animals to come around.
Do people even go into Dominoes?

A film premiere with an actor that has one of those huge Fangirl fanbases...
Tom Hiddleston
I didn't make myself very clear: i'd start out with a bonjour and then maybe a je ne se pas francais and after that english. Never met any arrogance or snobby attitudes doing that. When approaching with "Excuse me sir" they just roll their eyes and ignore you. kinda cute actually.

Jack in the Box. Three different times that I got food poisoning. I kept wanting to go back and give them another chance because I actually used to like Jack in the Box, but can't do it any more.

The Bahama's sucked ass. Everywhere seemed dirty and crowded. Fuck that place in particular.

NEVER AGAIN.
San Jose, California. Was born there and lived there for several years of my childhood until my family moved up to Boise, Idaho. I never understood why we moved to Boise from San Jose as a kid, but I went several times in/after high school and understood why; it's such a hole. Fuck San Jose.
That said, Boise is a nice place to revisit, but I never want to live anywhere in Idaho again.

this thread is pretty telling for how many people don't read the OP. interesting nonetheless.
for me, it's golden corral. was forced into going on my last trip to the states and it was horrifying. food was disgusting, plates were dirty. ugh. don't remember the customer service though. probably because there is barely any customer/employee interaction.

Gamestop - Haven't been there in several months and don't ever plan on going back
Also am I just lucky? I've never had a problem at an Olive Garden...how long can this streak last?
As for Anime Conventions, I've only been to one, but it was okay. There wasn't really a smell, but then again I went first thing in the morning so maybe that was why?

Mexico is awesome
A favela here in Rio.
I was drunk beyond recognition and ended up at my friend's house who is in a favela, never again. I think the icing was the dead rats you could see here and there. It honestly left me depressed people have to live like that. My friend had a pretty mindblowing view though.

But they got that cool alien themed restaraunt. Yes I drove through ND a few times. Horrible place to be in the winter.+1 for North Dakota.What a fucking dump.
Here's a postcard I bought because it was so hilariously pathetic. Bear in mind this is the CAPITAL CITY of the state

Gary, Indiana
Buffalo, New York
WashingtOn DC
Vegas
These places are all incredibly run down and dirty.
Businesses
All fast food, pretty much. It makes me feel sick.
Cracker Barrel. Not sure whether i hate the restaurant or the clientele.
Applebees. I used to go frequently for happy hour, but the food just kept deteriorating.

I study in India and I'm planning to leave in 2 years when it's complete. I'm not coming back once I leave, life has been terrible here.
The TSA deserves every single bit of vitriol. They've made me late for planes and then threatened to detain me if I bothered to file a complaint.

Kmart.
I bought some cheap blankets site-to-store for $3 each, down from $9. After and hour - and them dealing with an increasingly long line of rude customers - they couldn't find my blankets connected to my order. Even worse was that I had to stare at the same several blankets I ordered in a bin upfront a mere 10 yards or so from me. They couldn't pricematch them nor use them for my order since mine were shown as being prepared, they just didn't know where.
I went back months later - for what I don't remember - and had an equally horrible experience of waiting too long for nothing and listening to their radio skip like a CD.
Never again.
Edit : As for you OP, you kinda just need to keep expectations in check. The first story was fine, report her, the second I understand. Its not really Big Lots fault, its minimum wage paid to the shittiest generation ever, I've had experiences similar almost everywhere I go. A few days ago I went to a supermarket named Budweys and the cashier never aknowledged me, only talking to another cashier. That would have been fine but she even slowed and stopped checking me out for a few moments to finish her train of thought all while never even having said a word to me. I don't blame Budweys, I blame her for being an asshole at her minimum wage job.

The most polluted air I've ever breathed, trashy as shit (I was deluded and thought it would be like the days of the Rat Pack), and I along with the rest of my family contracted bronchitis there. Miserable city.

Gamestop. I'm tired of all their shady shit. They fucking act like they are doing me a favor if they sell me a game that I didn't pre-order, have tried to sell me an opened game as new, and they try to sell me other shit I don't want such as other pre-orders, magazine subscriptions, and store cards. I've mostly gone all digital now anyways as an exclusively PC gamer, but I did use them in the past for the CE of the WOW expansions and for 360 titles back when I owned one. Fuck them.
lol.. why?
