Gosh, I didn't realise you might ever have to PAY for parking at IKEA! We don't at ours, but it is on a retail estate rather than in the middle of town.

I know, a lot of people had a major moan about this when they built it. But being city centre, a lot of people would have taken advantage if they didn't put some controls in.

It started as spend £30 instore, get 3 hours free parking. After so many complaints, it's now spend £10 in store for 3 hours.

Tis a silly store really. Showroom/Restaurant is on level 6 and if you just want food, you have to go up to 6 and walk back round and down the entire store to get back to level 3 where the only exit is back to the entrance. Barriers stop you going back into the level 6 lifts to go straight back to 0.

After 2 years, I still meet people every visit who are lost and "just want to get out of the blasted store"

We don't have as many floors as that (I think it's 2 floors of goods but they're all up an escalator or lifts), and I still get lost! Don't go unless I have to ...
