I like some of their products, which reminds me I would like to go and pick up more of their zip-lock bags, they are the best I've ever found anywhere... but I'll do this definitely during the week! <br /><br />Have a wonderful week, cheers! darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-35563446278107232892015-10-13T18:16:52.296-05:002015-10-13T18:16:52.296-05:00I think waiting until next year is a good idea.I think waiting until next year is a good idea.Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-34002104737206400792015-10-13T18:16:20.034-05:002015-10-13T18:16:20.034-05:00I'm thinking there has to be a way to get stra...I'm thinking there has to be a way to get straight to the cash register area where the cafe is.

As you said, the movement of the traffice was always forward, inlock step. Beth knew the department and kept cutting through displays to reach it, on the opposite side of the store from where we entered. I found it insane, exiting the flow of traffic to persue a display, and then reentering the flow to keep moving. Except for the novelty, I cannot fathom a reason for such a store layout.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-91305903500433608912015-10-13T07:39:20.861-05:002015-10-13T07:39:20.861-05:00IKEA will just get busier it is always busy, sort ...IKEA will just get busier it is always busy, sort of like Costco.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720030744345215307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-37011536288138890712015-10-12T21:56:25.082-05:002015-10-12T21:56:25.082-05:00I tend to walk through the maze like a deer in the...I tend to walk through the maze like a deer in the headlights.
