People Queue for Hours to Go Shopping in IKEA

'Coronavirus: Customers queue for hours as Ikea reopens 19 shops'
Personally, I don't have a problem going shopping in stores when they eventually reopen. But, I still wouldn't queue for hours or get to the store before 6am. What are these people buying that they are willing to waste so much time.
I queue for hours to get out the place.
Maybe the call of the meatball is too strong..........
I almost posted in various places about this but thought, whatever. If people really find that to be a productive use of their time, there's no telling them. I've never paid full price for one piece of Ikea furniture. There are enough muppets on Gumtree etc either selling cheap or giving it away for free when they realise they bought too many shelves.
I tried to buy a bed for my daughter and they sold the bed without the base. Needless to say I didn't get it
Do you reckon if this was 30 years ago, people would be queueing for MFI? I just can't imagine that.
They have spent 10 weeks at home and realise they need some IKEA storage boxes after all that cleaning and tidying.
Seems absurd to me, then again I wouldn't queue for hours for a McDonald's or KFC either
No, I wouldn’t travel to such a place and then queue for ages and have to pay for my goods. If they were offering freebies, then that’s another story
The only time I'd get up very early to join a long queue is to purchase an extremely limited edition item or gain entry to a very special event. Not to purchase a mass produced product I could easily order online or still get in store next month.
No, IKEA can wait. Plus for like 3 to 10 quid or so you can order and they bring it home. Most of the stuff you can watch YouTube videos about as well...
I saw this yesterday and couldn't believe the number of people willing to queue in this heat and in a car park! Mad dogs and Englishmen...........
Crikey! That's crazy. I mean what is so desperate that people need to queue for hours for? It's not like it isn't going to be in store in a week or two?
Seriously!? Have people felt so deprived that they have to queue for over 3 hours for some furniture 
. Have they not had any online options?
