    Are you kidding? Don Draper gets regular cardiovascular workouts in the form of full contact aerobics!

Started running following some damn arrows on the floor. What set me off is I couldn't see any doors or windows.....= no way out. When I finally got to the exit I was sweating, heart racing, near full mode panic attack.

      No way dude. I'll never go back for modular furniture I gotta put together myself.

        Yeah, it's pretty degrading; you're like human cattle being shuffled along until you reach the feed bags at the end.
        My karma just ran over your dogma.

          Sounds like one big firetrap to me. I've driven by the big box stores with IKEA on the side of them but had about as much desire to go in one as I do a Wal-Mart or a Best Buy.

          When I was moving all the time I had some of that Scandinavian modular furniture. It was ok. Did the job and because it came apart, it was easy to move.

            Sounds like they need to rename the store to BORG BOX.

              I'm suddenly reminded of the very first episode of Bobs Burgers AKA the "Human Flesh" episode. I love that show by the way XD

              I really hope this isn't true, horses are some of the most beautiful animals in existence.

                I hate IKEA. I despise everything they stand for. I'd rather not go there at all. I had to go like 6 months ago to buy some chairs for the shop I am working in. There is no way of getting out. Even if there was a way out of there, all the pregnant women and tourists that hang out there on a working day in the afternoon are so damn slooooow, and refuse to MOVE OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY, so I can just pay for the shit I had to buy and just get the hell out of there as soon as I can.

                Eat there? LMAO!

                  Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

                    Someone should start a chain of easy access, making shopping easy stores and name them BUY SHIT. Come to BUY SHIT. Find what you want easy and get out fast! Wal-Mart should be renamed to DIP-SHIT.

                      after 7 years loyal service, was made redundant and offered no help or support what-so-ever from the management. the worse thing was the founder I.K. visited our store and shook us all by the hand and said thank you for the great effort and we were above target. then as soon as he left we got the redundancy notices. accept a huge pay cut and take flexible hours or bye bye. tried to take them to tribunal but they hid behind data protection act. i have never known a firm to treat its staff so shamefully as IKEA CROYDON
                      Sounds like the typical big box nightmare. It sucks for customers and even worse for employees.

                        It's also an analogy of how Team USA will beat Sweden at the World Hockey Championship this year.

                          I like IKEA because of cinnamon rolls and that spiced Christmas wine and that's all.
