I never did mange to find my way out. Been an IKEA resident for four years now and am growing tired of meatballs and watching fake televisions.
I love most IKEA furnitutre.
But hate the warehouse shopping experience.
(Once when I complained in IKEA I was sternly told "This is NOT a shop!!!!" )
Top tip next time you go.
Leave a trail of breadcrumbs.
Originally posted by wolfgang59A friend of mine had 3 little girls. She found it a great place to take them on a winter weekend when it was too cold and wet to enjoy the outdoors. They could run around, try out the furniture and beds, get fed and then get taken home tired and relaxed and ready to settle for the evening.

This topic usually divides people in two groups - those who like it and those who hate it, you seldom find people who are indifferent. There may be those too of course, but I don't know of any. I belong to the group of people who like it - I think it's smart shopping. I happen to dislike shopping and when I shop, I do it because I have to. And today I had to ...[text shortened]... ten.
There may not be any more posts in this thread - I just felt like saying it: I like IKEA!
I reckon that makes me indifferent. 😕

Originally posted by wolfgang59You all might be in love with IKEA but here is a report of how they treat their truck drivers:
drewnogal's friend may have something to say about that!!
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/ikea-lorry-drivers-living-in-trucks-paid-less-than-3-an-hour-a7631086.html
It seems they hire drivers from say Lithuania, pay them the going rate there then ship them to Western Europe, Italy, France, Spain, Germany and so forth, where the minimum wage is 5 times higher but still they keep paying them the Eastern European pay scale even though those drivers have to live in places like Germany where the cost of living is way higher than the Eastern Euro nations.
