i've ever been to. Cars running red lights by ten seconds. every car. Had a waiter chase me out of a pizza place for the guy i was with not tipping well (he didn't, but i did, and the waiter hassled me because the guy left out the bathroom). A guy muscling up tot he front counter at a Wallgreens, a busy as hell walgreens, saying "I Need this stuff now" (some cold medicine) and nobody did nothing. everyone was rude.
