Exactly. There’s nothing - almost nothing maybe - in larger stores or chains that is not designed to make you buy things. Even the way through, Ikea is obviously god emperor there but other follow closely.

I always feel like a rat in a maze when I go to IKEA.

It’s literally a single path with no branches (except for the shortcuts), Pinky.

And after you’ve been a couple times you learn the shortcuts to the meat balls pretty well.

It’s a spiritual maze, Brain. Are you done looking at the curtain rings yet?

Yeah, the one (and very likely only) time I went to IKEA, I bought almost nothing, because the whole store was just one big stampede, pressing through that singular path.

At first, when Ikea finally came to where I live, I thought that was a cool way to keep traffic flowing and the stress level low. $600 later, after only planning to buy a couple pillows, I realized why the stores are layed out like that.
