Not the Walmart "cache" (sic), just a collection of the downtrodden and oppressed. It could have served as the set for a post-apocalytic movie.

Worst for me was undoubtedly the Sears Outlet in beautiful London Ontario, just before they closed for good. The place might have once been a Woolco or Kmart or something, and it had absolutely no renovations since opening in the 1960s. In it, was nothing but shopworn floor models, scratch & dent appliances, and expired fashion. Most customers were "seniors on a budget". Absolutely soul-sucking.
