Raise you right hand.
Frankly IKEA can go fuck themselves. I'm siding with ol' Jake Jabs on this one. IKEA is all foreign manufactured and owned by a company that is a non-profit. They pay no taxes in the United States. They sell mainly to pretentious women like my sister in law. No offense to you guys buying from em it's just not for me. I'm spending my money where I hope it stays here. Once again no offense and hope you find some rocking deals.
Ikea can suck it. I work right across the street in the business park on Yosemite and there were gobs of cops directing traffic this morning and it's not even busy.

When I get a chance I'll go down and visit. In the past, IKEA has carried affordable and interesting kitchen stuff and bed linens. Plus, I love me some lingonberries.
Got to be all liberal idiots waiting in line looking like fools.

Factual failure. They made the news not long ago because their factory in Virginia is voting on Union stuff, and the IKEA owning subsidiary is against it.Quote:

I'm stumped as to why a not-for-profit raises your ire. If they want to build their company as a not for profit, isn't that their business? It's a privately held company, they can do what they want. Would you rather shop at a place that charges you 15% more?
H.
No just no, but FAWK NO! Been driving past there the last couple days and laughing at the losers camped out. Camping out for the opening of a furniture store? Dumbasses. Just went by there and there was a HUGE herd of idiots waiting for the doors to open. For pre-fabricated furniture in boxes that you have to assemble yourself? Bah.
I did a consulting job for afw back in 2001 and most of their stuff is made I'm sweat shop in Vietnam... A "Chinese antique" they sold for 900$ had a west port delivery price of 92$... I think competition is good for business. Ikea hired local people and will bring sales tax to the local economy. Considering that most US based large corporation don't pay tax here anyway... But that's a tax code revision problem...
I want a 69$ chair. The same one is 200$ @Scandinavian design
