stupid food take away policy....

i have been and still is a fan of ikea, ever since i went to my first ikea in philly, i love the smell of pine wood as i walk in the store. i know that they are not conventional retailer and all their stuff is diy...and i just love their little nick nacks...so some time when i bored i just like to wonder around their show room and imagine it was my home...

an incident happen to me last Monday which tick me off....so on monday after i picked up my sister from work, my mom asked me to buy meatballs for her and ayah, so as a dutiful and obedient daughter i went...any way i was hungry also...so me and sis waited in line pick up daim cake....glass and etc...and proceed to the main dish section, so i decided to eat lemon and herb chicken and sis decided to eat salmon, later i asked them to pack for me 15 meatballs.....then the attendant said this..." kak hari ni tak boleh bungkus sebab public holiday....( sorry no take away because today is a public holiday) then i argued with him....today i a public holiday for kl, putrajaya and labuan.....your shop is in selangor, different state......then he still insisted that the cant pack our take away...then i called my mom in front of him, i said... ma .. org kat sini tak bagi pack....kedekeut bungkus...then the boy said kak don't say like that....( tahu pulak malu)

so he suggested i buy a plastic container from the market place and bring BACK to the cafeteria and i did just that . the only reason i followed his advice because my mom wanted her meatballs ....if not i would not bothered......

this evening i sent a complaint letter to their coustomer service....so we wait and see what they say....

so moral of the story...."REMEMBER.....NO TAKE OUTS ON WEEKENDS AND ANY PUBLIC HOLIDAY......INCLUDING OTHER STATE HOLIDAY !!!!!!!!! IF YOU INSIST...PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PLASTIC CONTAINER....."

HAHAH omg that's hilarious!

this is the first time I heard "NO PACKING ON PUBLIC HOLIDAY?!" seriously if they can make a sale on their meatballs, what's packing on a "public holiday" any different from a other days?!

(too much crowd? understaffed? cutting costs on a peak day???)

all shops trying to attract customers to SHOP at their place during holidays/festivities. This one seems to be... just a bit different LOL.. shhh go away.. come another day ok?

Hahaha.... lawak giler!

I dont understand WHY they cant pack food on public holidays anywayz... All their plastic containers and packing material are off duty on holidays izzit? Bloomin' ridiculous if u asked me.. huhu.

Oh btw, next time if this happens to you again, maybe it would be a good idea to browse downstairs where they sell their currypuffs.. next to the counter is a mini market that sells biscuits and such. My mom once bought frozen meatballs and cranberry sauce from that area... Am not sure if they still have it tho, but its worth to chk out.. ;)
