Imagine you’re shopping and you pull out a towel from the rack and there is just a whole stoner back behind there chilling. /shudders

Hey, I found a stoner tucked away in the men’s jeans in Wal-Mart, 50% off.

Decided to take him home, and it’s been a great decision! He takes care of the couch, he’s always down to play some Smash, he’ll even let me win.

All it cost me was watching one Pauly Shore movie a week. Tomorrow’s Encino Man!

“for as little as one Polly shore movie a week, you too can adopt a poor lost stoner” 😂

I picture Sally Struthers strolling Ikea, opening cabinets to find people hotboxing inside, passing some girl doing dabs in the fake kitchen, pleading for our help.

Don’t forget about “Phantom of the Mall”! One of Paulys early films!

I think I’d be more concerned if it was only part of a stoner.

3000 people sounds a bit excessive.

I’ve noticed a lot of media outlets like to add a zero here and there when reporting.
A mix of 300 people could fill the IKEA parking lot. 3000 is an entire cruise ship.

You piqued my interest so I went to look it up. Average Ikea is 300k sf. So obviously omitting the fact that there are areas of the store that are off limits (although are you following those rules when you’re playing hide and seek?), as well as there being furniture everywhere, that’s 100 square feet per person, which I think is doable. Especially considering, if I’m playing hide and seek at IKEA, I’m hiding in the furniture.

You just showed your best hand. I can’t protect you now.

That would be a 10x10 foot square for each person, that building would be pretty crowded once you take the shelves and merchandise into account.

I wonder what the fire department’s max occupancy is?

Why? Why would there be an upper limit?

To how many people can reasonably fit inside Ikea without being disruptive?

I mean, the police were called, so they were being disruptive.

I’m more confused if 3000 people could realistically even hide in an IKEA

Fair. But I’m not sure 3000 reaches that limit. Just sounded like you meant to playing hide and seek.

Might be decent exposure for the store though. It’s pretty easy to see stuff at IKEA and be like yeah, I have been meaning to pick up a new wobbly stool. Better grab some weird candy too.

Which is an argument for management not to complain. The staff can still complain. Thousands of meme-y randos fucking up the store, deliberately getting underfoot at my job for a joke, and the proposed reward for that is maybe it will attract more people? To disregard the likelihood of another rendition of the same stunt, if it’s well-received.

Gonna be blunt. My best days were the ones without customers in them, and I don’t get paid more if there are.

Anyone who’s worked retail knows this is truth. Although working a double when the mall was dead was pretty bad too

Actually just fuck retail jobs
