I've heard that Ikea also sells, of all things, meatballs. (Hopefully you
don't need to find a screwdriver to put them together once you get them
home.)

Ikea understood something about their customer's psychology.
I'm usually very reluctant to buy something anywhere, I'd rather go out
without anything in my hands (unless I have a very precise goal).
various merchandise (never useless, everything is useful at ikea, but
hardly planned).
All my architects colleagues are equally fond of Ikea, most furniture
here, at the firm, is Ikea (inexpensive and good looking, what's more ?).
And, mmhhh, these cheap hotdogs... and swedish meat balls with jam and fries...

Yes, around every single day in the supermarket here. Looks like if
there are less people, they close some check-outs, in order to keep the
customer annoyance constant.

Well... I like inflicting violence on inanimate objects. I'm much less
keen on it being done to living things...

They put in a bunch of those 'self check out' lanes at the grocery
stores here. The common style uses scales to make sure that you only bag
items you have scanned. Only, the bag area is tiny, enough for maybe 10
to 20 items. So, when the store has only a few people working, what
aisles do they keep open?
Yup, just the 10 items or less lane and the self check out machines.
It's like they don't expect anyone to do any real shopping at 3 am.

It is only 5 items or less here and who else is in the store at 3 am?
