Don't Pay The Ferryman

So I was shopping in one of those ikea megastores a little while ago, and I knew what I wanted and that they were in stock, and still I spent over an hour wandering around the place, seemingly compelled to keep looking. At everything. Has anyone ever experienced that at ikea? It is very hard to NOT buy stuff out there. It's remarkable.

I watched a doco a while ago that was all about casinos and how they're architecturally engineered to keep people inside gambling. Seriously, there's actually many and varied things architects incorporate into a casinos design to keep people inside, right down the the most minute detail.

Call me crazy, but I think Ingvar may have commissioned some of that shit to keep people shopping. My hat's off to him.
