Shopping Hell
A thread on blogging.la about avoiding the Target in Eagle Rock got me to thinking... What is the worst shopping experience in L.A.?

I've got a real contender: The Fairfax district K-Mart. Located in the trashy strip mall across the street from the Farmers' Market/The Grove, we've referred to it for years alternately as "Sarajevo K-Mart" or, more simply, "War-Torn K-Mart."

The place is a madhouse 365 days a year, not just during the holidays. Kids are screaming and racing around. Merchandise is strewn everywhere -- except where it's supposed to be. Shelves are stripped bare. The store appears to be stuck in 1982, which is probably the last time it was renovated. I've learned to avoid it at all costs.
