Dixons/Currys/PC World - Would never purchase from these stores, the staffies have no knowledge of what they're selling.
Primark - My girlfriend loves it, but it can get so crowded. After opening it ends up looking like a charity shop with clothes all over the place and on the floor.
Toys R Us - I don't know why this is on my list, it's great to go there if you're a kid or a big kid like me but the prices are so terrible I would never buy anything. Its more of a day out to see the latest toys. :D
Independant Book Stores - I just feel sooo guilty looking around and not buying that book I was reading at it's full retail price! No book should cost over £15 that's just wrong.
Subway - Very expensive and I always get the sandwich guy who doesnt care what I have and has no suggestions. Perhaps too much choice is a bad thing? Still you can get some nice subs if you go through all the hassle.
Sport Stores - I have no business going to any of these stores, I love sports I'm just not a fan of these stores, they seem far too pricey.
Who else has got a list they'd like to share?

Morrisons for me. Used to shop in Safeway, but now it's been taken over, I avoid it.
The Lawns pub in my town of Yate as the staff were really rude to a group of us once and kicked one of our group out as his ID had expired by one day! (Apparently your date of birth and appearance radically changes immediately once your passport expires).
I tend to avoid girls clothes shops as well, but I guess there's an obvious reason behind that!

Primark is awful, but PC World and Currys are ok if you know what you're looking for. Sometimes they have some good bargains. I've noticed that the staff in the help section of PC World have actually been getting better in the knowledge department too.
I don't think there is anywhere I really try to avoid. A lot of my ahopping is on the internet now, though, apart from food, most of the shops I just use for looking at products and being able to physically check them out.

Morrisons didn't seem to have their own brand products in when they first took over safeways, but now there thin and crispy pizzas keep calling me back, again and again.
A similar thing happened at O’Neil’s in Muswell hill where one of the groups passport had expired. Another time we actually got in but had to take off out hats (so I removed my beanie), but one guy decided to put his cap back on before we had even got upstairs, and we all got thrown out. So basically I avoid the snootier areas of London.

No-one who likes food or cookery should ever shop in there. Cheap tat. Your only excuse is if you're buying non-food stuff. Iceland should be included in this to a lesser extent.
[/U]Any Clothes Shop That Charges More Than £30 for a T-Shirt[/U]
I went clothes shopping on Monday and dared to venture into one of them. Sure enough, within 10 seconds i'd been asked if i needed help. Yeah sure, because i'm not able to see the clothes myself. If i wanted help, i'd ask, now f**k off.
[/U]MacDonalds[/U]
Just because
[/U]HMV[/U]
This isn't as relevant as it used to be. I dislike them because they used to be so expensive, they still are if you're not getting one of the deals. My real objection to them though is that they're putting small record stores out of business so i tend to avoid them on moral grounds.
[/U]Mobile Phone Stores[/U]
Same reason as the clothes shops really

[B]The Liverpool Shop [B] - mainly because I am an Evertonian and will not go near the place.

Heresy!
Lidi is awesome for cheap snacks and fizzy pop. Maybe the odd electronic goods.
But apart from that, yeah its rubbish.
Until i get a girl friend or wife, i will not go into a womens clothes store. Especially ann summers.
"Hello sir, are you looking for something special for your wife?"
"Well, erm...i'm not married..."
"Maybe for your girl friend?"
"Erm... i'm single..."
"Are you buying something for yourself?"
"well...no i'm not"
"Why are you HERE? you're not a pervert are you?!"
"No, no, i have no reason to be here"
"Why are you here then?"
"Now thats a good question."

Too right! :p
Well actually tend to avoid clothes shops altogether unless I'm dragged into them. Or actually NEED a new shirt etc.
I love Lidl, great fun to shop in. Always full of surprises!
