The noted shoulder-shrugger (by birth and profession) Jean-Paul Sartre, famously said “Hell is other people”. The phrase was first published in the 1944 play ‘Huis Clos’. I respectfully submit that if he’d been to the Croydon Ikea he’d have said it much earlier.

Yes, the massiveness of IKEA can make you despair of ever seeing the exit. A friend of mine says that a visit to the Bloomington store is like a trip through the intestines.
It’s particularly irksome when you have a little boy who needs to go to the toilet twice in quick succession.
And they don’t let you shop online. How 1900s.
Actually for certain things you can, but your local store has to offer those things, which rather defeats the point (not least because we don’t have a local store yet).
