The overhead signs help a lot, but there are others; not too far in the distance a huge section of those giant stock shelves has collapsed against each other and way off in the east we all assume it's east anyway - apparently Ikea doesn't sell compasses is some kind of tower that looks like its made of wood, reaches all the way to the ceiling. Inconclusive results from the use of laser rangefinders has led to the speculation that the space may be infinite. Turn the place into a maze, get all the people out and see how long it takes me to get lost, then everyone has a good old laugh. Different from the first one I saw, but still messed up.
We've been reinforcing the walls, trying to arm ourselves better. Heard the staff things slam into the gate behind me after it closed, still politely informing us all that the store was now closed. Wasim has been making more crossbows, but it's pretty slow going. Took a couple of them down myself. Between us and the new folks, we managed to come up with over 20 names. Multinationals play an important role in the Swiss economy, but for many people, the companies can seem like islands of concrete buildings or campuses full of foreign workers. They call the town Exchange, because that's whats on the sign hanging from the ceiling directly above it.
Any other use of the website content beyond the use stipulated above, particularly the distribution, modification, transmission, storage and copying requires prior written consent of swissinfo. I don't even know where we'd start. So, I'm writing this to document what I can only assume is my sudden descent into insanity. But apparently some of the people here have some seriously odd gaps in their knowledge. Random words strung together with no real meaning.
It's comforting, in a way. Day 3 of my magical Ikea mystery adventure. So during the day people go out to find food, water and whatever else they need. Thought about shoving it or something to get its attention, but its hands were big enough to crush a water melon so I decided against it. The store will have 50 room settings, three model home interiors, a play area for children, baby care rooms and and a restaurant — serving Swedish dishes such as meatballs with lingonberries — that will seat 350 diners.
An IndyStar reporter and photographer were given a first tour of the construction Tuesday morning, where a handful of workers operated small forklifts to make adjustments to overhead heating ducts. I've never heard of an Ikea with a pharmacy before but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone stumbled on an Ikea Organ Harvesting Lab. Over 50 wonderful people with regular sized limbs and a full set of facial features. So, I'm trapped in Ikea. Over the past 12 months, Asia and North America have become strong growth areas, with Ikea planning to open two additional stores in China this financial year.
Just row after row after row of them. I love books as much as the next guy, but this is excessive. Using any other door besides the main entrance to enter the structure or breaking through the walls of the retail unit leads into the non-anomalous interior of the original store. All lit up against the night using lights they've found and plugged into the power lines. They've built a whole town in here! Anyway they were still warm and fresh, but I haven't seen anyone around who could have cooked them.
Just one more thing on the ever-increasing list of Weird Shit that goes on in here, I guess. His first job as the group leader for workshop no longer exists at the company. She was a manager for Blockbuster and Starbucks before joining Ikea eight years ago. Is this an efficient way to run a business? Kind of sounded like that. No muscle, no bone, no organs.
This displacement will typically go unnoticed as no change will occur from the perspective of the victim; they will generally not become aware until they try to return to the entrance. If I wasn't sure that there was something seriously weird about this place before, I am now. A full week living in Ikea. This move would unknowing lead the retailer to create its now trademark self service model. A dozen people showed up at the gates this afternoon from a town called Trolleys. But no, I feel quite sane now, thank you very much! And hell maybe it was, maybe freakish 7ft tall monsters with long arms, short legs and no faces are just the kinds of thing they want working at Super Ikea. Sweden is increasing, but a bit slower than what we want it to be.
Maybe we're just the lucky ones. Apparently there are restaurants and shops around that randomly get restocked. We had to turn back before we found anything. Attempts to relocate the settlement failed. Some with more people, some with less. Note: This is the last entry.
Climbed up to get my bearings, and it looks like this place just stretches on forever. My curiosity got the better of me while we were unloading them, so I took a look at one of the more cut-up ones. Surely someone would have noticed that everyone who goes to ikea seems to fucking vanish. Keystone The big blue and yellow storefront is unmistakable in more than 50 countries. That's probably the punchline to that joke. And there are beds and food and people.
