Ugh, everything you said times a million. I used to think I'd get the hang of IKEA, but subsequent visits suggest it really is as awful as I first thought - and it's a shame because they have so much cheap/useful/nice stuff. I only like going up when my friend gives me a lift because she's like an IKEA power user and knows where everything is/understands the shortcut system that is beyond my crap sense of direction.

I dislike how they even minimise the seating in the snack bar - if you're going for a sit-down meal it's different, but the fast foody bit mostly has tables you stand at. Which I assume cuts down on their overhead and keeps the food cheap, but I'd love to have even a bar to lean against or something!
