I found a carpet I liked at a good price at Ikea.
Luckily I needed no help because there was none to be found. I purchased the carpet and took it home. Even before I unrolled it I knew it was too small (my fault for underestimating), so I decided to return it late on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of parking so I was hopeful the store wasn't packed as it sometimes is. It took 45 minutes of waiting to return the carpet. Once I got to a desk the return was simple and quick, but the waiting time is ridiculous.
I debated whether to purchase a bigger carpet that very day, but I took a peek at the checkout lines (long) and decided I had spent too much time in the store. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I will return to Ikea, but not soon.
