It's ironic that Ingvar Kamprad said that and then optimized IKEA stores for spending as much time walking round looking at everything before you get to the shop bit as possible.

Maybe he should have added "... and don't let anyone else steal your time units from you." at the end.

Interesting; at my local IKEA, the warehouse bit is on the ground floor, and while the normal path is through all the showrooms, there's a shortcut right by the entrance straight to the warehouse. Additionally, there's various shortcuts throughout their showrooms. I wonder if that wasn't in all their stores?

All the warehouse should have these shortcuts due to fire hazards and emergency policies.
