Downtown San Francisco (Score 1)

I was in the downtown San Francisco store not too long ago. The place has always impressed me as being somewhat Kafka-esque; underground, sort of snaking through various rectangular shapes, weirdly diagonally-positioned shelving that is almost guaranteed to make you feel lost, unpleasantly dark lighting. But at this last visit, the place downright gave me the creeps; it seemed almost funereal. The staff was apathetic, more interested in muttering amongst themselves than helping customers. At the same time the same prison-like security routines were in place. After leaving with my tiny purchase (a USB keypad for a laptop) I decided that I would never go there again, not that I went very often anyway. Sometimes I'd drive all the way down to San Bruno just to avoid that creepy downtown store with its dungeon-like decor, hyped-up security, and confusing layout.
