This is off topic kinda but thank you for explaining so well, and thanks for mentioning IKEA. I keep receiving emails about one in my state and even for 45.00 it didn't seem worth it to me. Firstly, it's a 45min drive at least. Secondly, that place is ginormous. Just shopping there it takes hours so I can imagine how long it would take to audit this place or look for OOS items. Your post really solidified how bad this shop would be. Thanks lol
Floating around like a feather hoping the wind will set me down somewhere awesome.
