This will be brief and to the point. Our family ended up in the new IKEA in Polaris on Father's Day somehow. Wasn't planned. Just sort of happened that way. As we stepped into the building, I was immediately drawn in by the low prices, organized showroom, and hustle and bustle of 30 somethings who looked like they knew exactly how it all worked.
While everyone whipped around us with their weird looking carts, we crept through the large warehouse, hoping we didn't get lost.
But of course we did.
It didn't take long to find someone in a blue shirt to help us. I explained to her that we needed help getting back to the front of the store. In an irritated and frustrated voice (yes, both) she basically asked if we were stupid, "Do you know how you came in? Just go back that way."
Blank stare.
We proceeded to explain to her that if we knew how to just go back the way we came, we wouldn't be lost. She angrily put down whatever item she was stocking and proceeded to speed walk to the route we needed to take. In her fury she left us in the dust. We became separated by a crowd as she faded into a sea of shoppers.
Thankfully we bumped into another employee who had already helped us earlier. She asked were we okay. We explained the situation and were kindly escorted to the entrance. She was our IKEA angel.
Overall, we liked IKEA and even made a purchase that day. We plan to eat at their restaurant during our next visit.
Pros: Immaculate showroom, low prices, better than expected quality
Cons: None. One banana didn't spoil the bunch... this time.
