Places that Smell

This is a spin-off of the clearance store thread, but does anyone else notice that there are certain stores that just smell bad. Big Lots is one of them. I can't go in there b/c it smells SO BAD. There is a VONS grocery store by me that is the same way.

Does anyone else have stores that they refuse to frequent b/c of the smells?

There are also entire towns. The Mexican side of El Paso was a stinky place.

As far as stores, I can't think of any.

It doesn't smell bad but has anyone else noticed that Abercrombie has a unique scent to it? All the stores have the same scent to it. When I use to work there, I would come home with the "smell" all over me to the point where even my house would smell like it if I didn't wash my work clothes right away.

The JC Penney's in Monroeville Mall is stinky. Other Penney's stores are fine.

Ross always has a funky smell.

I also can't stand walking into the home and garden sections of any store. The smell of fertilizer makes me nauseous.

We have a Ross by my office that never smells bad and has great stuff! I agree that many of them smell awful though!

Old Navy. Whenever I buy clothes there, I have to wash them first to get the stink off 'em.

The Penney's at the mall I work at REEKS and has reeked forever, particularily upstairs. It's awful.

A lot of the stores at the Regency Square Mall here are stinky. i think that it has a lot to do with the condition of the building.

i HATE walking close behind strange people in the mall. i do not want to smell them.
downtown near the river, the Maxwell house factory, and power plant. nasty!!!
