The only place worse to get out of than IKEA is Michaels. I swear they pump oxygen into the air like the casinos.

I hate Ikea. It is right up there with a visit to Chucky Cheese in my things not to do anymore list.

You mean like sprinklers, guiding lights toward the exits that probably come on when the fire alarm sounds, trained staff... You mean like that? PP is right, by the way. There are regular lit up exit signs all over the place. You're probably no further than 25 feet from an exit to the outside at any time.

I thought this thread was going to suggest we take refugee there and I thought, "what a great idea". Oh well.

There was such a fire in the UK, and I remember at the memorial service they read out the names of all those who died, interspersed with the names of the furniture lines that perished:
John
Malm
Bjorn
Trysill
Skogn
Peter
etc. Made it all the more poignant, somehow.
Oh god. Any update on Hemnes? Please tell me Hemnes made it out?

I think that during an emergency the workers would leave everyone in there to fend for themselves

There are shortcut doors to cut through the sections all over the place. Do you work in Ikea? You probably know all the exits then. Otherwise, it seems a bit irrational to have fears like this. I would fear being trampled in a shopping mall or Target, more than I would worry about a fire at Ikea.

Yes, but none point to actual exits. They point to an eventual exit, but first you have to walk all around the store.

There are many exits from the lab rat maze other than "Start" and "End." In an emergency, just walk forward or back along the path and look for store personnel who will be redirecting shoppers to the nearest emergency exit.

There are exit signs (the red glowing ones) all over the place.
