What is it like being in a large super market?

As soon as I walk in through the door I feel like my eyes are being stabbed. Why does every damn supermarket have to go so overboard on the lighting?

All the moving people and objects are confusing and exhausting for my senses. There is just too much to take in at a time.

There are so many different smells and many of them are very unpleasant. I hold my breath when other people come near me, because so many people stink like tobacco, alcohol or coffee and those smells literally make me nauseous.

The noise can be annoying too, but it bothers me less than the lights, smells and movements.

I don't mind the cashiers, but I hate waiting in line because people are extra annoying in lines and are constantly moving around, getting in the way, talking about something stupid or having parent/child arguments.

I hate going to supermarkets. I plan my shopping in advance so that I can get it over with as fast as possible and be out of there. I always go to the same few supermarkets so that I know my way around and can find what I need fast. I try to go at the least busy hours and I usually make a big shopping so that I won't have to go as often.

Sometimes I buy there but I have been going to a local chain lately and the people who work there seem a bit nicer. I wouldn't say I "love" going, but I don't absolutely loathe it, either. I like it best when there aren't a lot of people there.

I ignore it and do my own thing. It's long lines I hate and I would rather wait until it's all over. I notice everyone has to return or exchange their gifts right after Christmas than waiting. I mean they have until mid January to do it so why the rush? Gives me a good reason to wait until after the New Years to do it.

I was at Wal Mart the day after Christmas and it wasn't bad. It was more packed and the line was long to customer service and the lines weren't long at the check outs. It just reminded to not ever return things right after Christmas.
