This past Sunday, my mother and I went to IKEA for the very first time to buy a new bed for myself because of my back pain. We were lost for a while, because the one in Oregon isn’t on the GPS map (iGuidance) — not even on Google Map. After an hour or so, we finally managed to find the place, which took us another 30+ minutes to get there, but the place was completely packed with people as if we were facing an Armageddon or something… people were literally pushing to get though, and I was so worried that I might hurt someone with my wheelchair since I’d barely move. Anyhow, we found the bed, but it was all self-serve from locating the item to loading it. It’s not like I can load it myself… too heavy for my mother of course. So we said forget it.
In any case, that place was too chaotic for us.
