Ikea, Red Hook
You don’t know who reads this stuff. On the off chance you’re from Ikea headquarters, let me share my (automatically translated) thoughts :
Du behöver tio objekt, eller mindre fodrar!
Really! We are impatient New Yorkers who go all squirrelly when we have three things in our basket and every line is filled with people setting up house with carts of bulky items. You need a ten items or less [sic] line!

oh, the lines really aren’t that long at ikea!
Maybe I’m there at the wrong time. This couple behind me was so eager to get the line moving they were poking me with a spatula. I took a deep breath and did NOT start a discussion on personal space.
Spatula’s are totally underrated. Perfect for flipping those swedish meatballs.
