IKEA, on the other hand, designed their stores specifically to keep customers inside as long as possible. If you don't know the shortcuts (or don't notice them), you have to wander through the whole showroom & marketplace. And just about everyone leaves with more than what they initially planned.

It only works once. My usual response to such practices is to not return to the store again (and probably buy online). They lose in the long run.
Maybe it does not work on you but it works with vast number of people.
