It's a store where I go frequently, it's an electronics store, but that was the first time I heard such an announcement. By the way, your ability in writing in Irish is outstanding!!! My most sincere compliments! :-) The same to Cionaodh!!! Geez, how I'd like to write and read like you do! Maca,

It must have been a code related to a specific area?? I know what you mean. I needed to go to the toilet before we left and had to walk back through the whole shop to get out. Pain in the ass.

They were far more worrying because it was something like "Watch out! Code 110! Watch out!", with a loud voice and repeated with different codes for at least five times in 30 minutes. The even more disturbing thing was that nobody of the staff moved or got alerted. The last time I went to an IKEA centre was 12 years ago... It's only 20 minutes drive from home. I hated the fact that in order to purchase an item I saw near the checkout we had to walk all through the shopping centre, upstairs, downstairs, left and right for almost an hour. There was no way to cut the path short to the item I was looking for. I hate that place. I heard some announcements like those you mention here in a different shopping centre.

I'm with you there. Even my wife, who normally hates shopping more than I do enjoys visiting the place. The only good thing about their being one on our doorstep in Cardiff (well, a 5 min drive) is that we go in the evening midweek when the place is dead. What grates me is that IKEA likes to give the impression that it's a really nice place to work and it's a socially responsible company, while all the staff look and behave like drones, their stuff is made in China and is so cheap many probably consider the furniture to be disposable. Get well soon. “It’s a hellish place really.”

When rents are about equal to mortgage payments, it makes little sense to keep renting. Comhghairdeas, a Mhaca!
