Geting in/out of IKEA... Faster!

If you have the whole day running after the maze, browsing the items, sitting on nice couch and testing the bed etc  IKEA is the place! Plus who can beat the cheap breakfast/lunch?

Well, some of us do not like to spend a lot of the time that we already are lacking!
So I came across this post which suggests how to get in and out of IKEA faster! (some claim 30 min!)

1. Use the exiting side so that you hit the marketplace first.
2. Use the "inner circle" to skip the maize.
3. Go early during the coffee hours and hit the first time the sales ring!
4. Go during the weekdays!
5. OR, read the comments of this post... http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/4-tips-for-getting-in-out-of-ikea-faster-182678

Love Birds at the Check Out...

Checkout: A Life on the TillsYes, your typical grocery day. Sometimes it happens that you are in a hurry and lined up for check out.  People in front of you, do not care and just take their time. Relativity at play !!!! I am going to tell you a story of a couple at the checkout in a store. Oh, probably you have come across many such incidents where check out happens to be creepy.
What can delay the check out?
  • Romantic Couple 
  • fight with each other for who wants to pay
  • Boy swipes Credit card
  • after boy swipes, he needs to authorize the transaction
  • starts to sign with super slow speed
  • keeps making her figure? and finally a big heart ?
  • ...
Just wrong person and wrong time!

Hey, do not get me wrong, this is part of education. There are so many mathematical formula being formulated to minimize the check out time. My suggestion is lovely couple meter should be added to the formula :P
