IKEA Where I-BE-A?

I just came home from shopping in Ikea. It is a Swedish owned store that has home goods and modern streamlined furniture. Their prices are very affordable but there is one setback. You can never find your way out of the store. No one knows for sure, how many floors the store has, as it winds you in a circular maze. Once you go in, it takes a while to come out. Today, I think I spotted 2 hippies and one man wearing a disco suit. They must still be roaming there, from the 1960's. As I tracked through the store, I passed many other shoppers who were all saying the same statement. "Haven't we passed this area before"? When you ask an associate (the politically correct term for salesperson), where the exit is, they say, with such confidence, "just follow the yellow arrow and you will find the exit". Then they disappear. Eventually, you circle your way out to the checkout area, only to find that they do not have any bags to pack your purchases in. You walk out of the store balancing pots, pans and lamps. They do offer plain paper to wrap with , but no tape, so what is the point? When I leave the store, I always say the same thing. What if there was a fire? How would anybody get out? They really should do a study on the time it would take to escape. Ikea set me Free-a.
