Missing Wallet Update or Why IKEA Sucks
So I got a call last Friday from IKEA letting me know that they'd found my wallet. Can you believe it? I reported it missing July 20th! It's been over a month! What the...? Anyways I called them today to let them know I'd be in to pick it up after work. Amazingly enough the cash I had it in is still there. That's nice. Yay extra pocket money!
Here's the stupid part. So the day after I lost my wallet and the day after that and even a week later I called IKEA back to check to see if they'd found my wallet. Nope. Nothing. They kept saying they'd call me back if they did. So I ask the woman I'm talking to today when and where it was found. She doesn't know exactly where they found it but she says that it was found on July 21st at 5pm. The day after I lost it. Idiots. She can't figure out why no one called me about it.
So on the one hand I'm annoyed. I had to buy a new wallet, replace all my cards, report identity theft etc etc etc. On the other hand, I did get a fabulous new wallet which I love and I know all about what to do if you happen to prevent identity theft. I had to get a new friggin' license! Ugh.
Anyways, yet another reason why I hate IKEA. I don't understand why they hire so many incompetent rude people there. There's usually about one good person out of a whole entire store. Pretty sad.

That's pretty incredible. That you got your wallet back. You're definitely lucky. The problem I have with IKEA is that if you don't know what you want then nobody is going to be able to help you. But that's the problem with any of these wherehouse-type stores (Home Depot, Costco, etc...) That's why when you go to one of these stores you should always go with someone because you'll have someone there who gives a sh*t, and also someone who will remind you not to be a dumbass and leave you wallet behind. ;j
True true, except I didn't leave my wallet behind. It fell out of my pocket. While I may be somewhat lucky that I got the cash back, I still already went through the pain of replacing everything. So it's more of a cash bonus at this point. Oh and I have to drive all the way over there and deal with the idiots to get it so that's a hit as well.
Another reason to not like IKEA - My friend bought dishes, glasses and silverware to serve 100 people. NO ONE would pull them from the back or even help...we had to do it all by ourselves...it took 2 trips through. It STUNK...glad you got your wallet back though
1. IKEA is a self-service store. It works everywhere else in the world, why not in the US?
2. IKEA is a multi-national megacorporation. Of course they are going to hire idiots. Only idiots will work for $8/hr.
3. Nobody MADE you lose your wallet in a store full of underpaid idiots.

IDIOT's is a very strong word. I used to work for IKEA in Michigan before they started firing the minorities. Anyway, the problem with IKEA is that they hire over 400 people and only work them 2 times a week, so at any given time you don't have the same people working and nobody knows whats going on from day to day. The problem is the rich Uncle Scrooge named Ingvar who owns the company and is the richest man in the world. Hire more part timers and you never need to keep people, they just keep a large turnover.
