| - I come here strictly for the soft serve and the swedish meatballs.
Haha, just kidding but not really.. those are really good! It's always fun seeing grown adults all in a singular line in a cafeteria.. throwback much?
Now, I don't really buy the basic furnishing necessities here (eg. bed, desks etc) just because my dad owns a furniture company so I already get those for fraaaay $_$ But I love coming in here and seeing how there are different setups for different rooms. Since I'm looking into getting a condo in the next couple of years, I'm super interested and I've already started planning what kind of furniture I want. I get to see the different kitchens, beds, bathrooms and how they are all unique. It's definitely inspirational walking through here and getting inspired by setups I would've never thought of myself. Most of the furniture is cheap and good quality, while some definitely look overpriced for what it is. I'm such a big fan of the little knick knacks you get put around your house to give it a special effect. I'm a sucker for anything that wastes my money, really.
Ikea worker service is inconsistent.. sometimes I don't see anyone and the ones I do see appear to be so lost, I question if they were just customers at one point that got so lost, that they automatically got recruited to stay where they are and work here. Other times, they're really smiley and helpful. I had to ask a question today and after recruiting one worker over, a bunch came over to help me as well. If only that was the service every time. The parking lot is a hot mess, especially on busier times. I always like to come here in the middle of the weekdays, just to avoid shenanigans. Also.. entrance and exit too far away from each other.. it's like.. if you want to park close to the entrance, then leaving will require a far walk, especially if you bought furniture. If you park close to the exit, walking to the entrance is a struggle, especially in the cold winter days.
Anyway.. I'm really down to come here anytime, seriously. This is definitely a store that I'd come to for fun, or for food, rather than to actually buy furniture.
