Ikea comes to town
July 08, 2005
The big buzz around town lately has been the Grand Opening of the first
Ikea store in Atlanta. At first I was just as excited and interested as the next person that the store was opening. Now that I have been there I have to say the store is pretty cool, but my overall experience hasn't been much fun.
It all started when I came across a print called
Norrsund. It's basically a photo taken in my home town, Albuquerque New Mexico circa the 1960's. Immediately I discovered that the print is out of stock, I'm told in store that I can either buy the print online or come back in a couple of days when they have more in stock.
Not wanting to come back to the store because of the amount of people hitting that place I jump online, credit card in hand, to purchase the print that I hope will soon hang over my living room couch. Once online I find out that the print is only available in store, not online as I was told. Dang, they got me :(
So now back to plan A, head back to the store once they have the prints back in stock. That's exactly what I did today, I turned the corner and there they were, a huge stack of them. So I rush forward to finally score a prized Norrsund print and well they are all warped to heck and back. Double dang, they got me again :(
Do you care probably not, do I feel better now that I was able to rant a little, absolutely. Will I ever get my Norrsund print, perhaps another day.
