9. Going to Walmart makes me depressed.

I hate the lighting. I hate the atmosphere. I hate walking 5 miles to find a certain item and then walking another 2 to find something else. I hate not having a clerk to help if I need one and I hate the entire Walmart experience. But, there's not much choice in my small town. The citizens are held captive and Main Street is dried up. I try to avoid Walmart as much as possible. Walmart is not a pleasant shopping experience.
