I'd like to find a page that fails a screen reader test miserably. Does anyone know of any example sites for this? Or perhaps just a really poorly coded web page? I don't have time to create a real bad example page.

It's in Dutch, but http://www.debijenkorf.nl/ is quite gross.

It's got lots and lots of Schema.org stuff, so they care about
Google, but when you do find headings they're kinda random
except they do at least add h1 on inner pages.
They use <header> and <footer> tags, also inside <section>s
so some of that stuff might work okay.

The footer is just a nest of p's. No lists, no headings.
This is probably because an SEO company told them no headings
and to lower or remove headings in sidebars with general things
like product filters-- I'm guessing because one of the largest
SEO companies in the Netherlands told us to remove or lower
headings in all those places, and we were forced to comply.

Unplug your mouse on that website for greater fun. Fun fun.

I think browsing products is doable but I can't say if their
payment section is accessible at all or not.
