What? How does one look like they are there for a game of hide and seek v a regular shopper?
- krustyburger 7y agoRegular shoppers don’t usually crouch behind things.
- jplayer01 7y agoHow am I supposed to know if furniture is good if I can't test its viability in games of hide and seek?
- penagwin 7y agoI have to agree, if I can't test the product why would I even go to IKEA? I'd rather purchase online. At least online I can find reviews for it's hide and seek performance! What's next? They start banning us for testing out the furnitures viability for The Floor is Lava? /s
- einpoklum 7y agoScottish police says: Tell it tae th' baillie! (= Tell it to the judge)
- jrockway 7y agoMy takeaway from all of this is that if you have kids that are going to play hide-and-seek, you probably want something more durable than IKEA furniture. I think IKEA realizes this as well.
- jplayer01 7y agoIt's 2019. Adults can play hide and seek too, you know.
- laumars 7y agoThen how am I supposed to know if those things will fit my things inside them? It would be like buying a mattress without lying on it first.
- paggle 7y agoIt takes me so much effort to get to my IKEA I would be so totally enraged if I was stopped as a “suspected hide and seeker” and denied entry. I cannot imagine.
- chrisco255 7y agoMaybe they're wearing Swedish furniture camouflage? If they come in with a costume that looks like a Billy book shelf. That's a dead giveaway.
- gumby 7y agoWouldn't that make them invisible to the police?
- theandrewbailey 7y agoUntil there's robot furniture that moves on its own, no. I bet someone somewhere is working on it, though.
- clairity 7y agoyup, they’re working on it: https://ikea.today/rognan-robotic-furniture-for-small-space-living/ https://ikea.today/rognan-robotic-furniture-for-small-space-... which is not surprising considering how successful the tradfri line of (affordable) smart home products has been (i’m a fan).
- urbanjunkie 7y agoI take it you've not been to an Ikea? Follow this simple rule: - Looking happy? Here for hide and seek. - Looking miserable? Here for being dragged around Ikea looking at furniture.
- isostatic 7y agoIf the police stop them, they've clearly failed at the "hide" part of the game
- gwbas1c 7y agoI suspect that "stopping" just means a short, and polite, conversation near the entrance.
- Rapzid 7y agoThe hiding and the seeking is probably a good indicator.
