Regular shoppers don’t usually crouch behind things.

It takes me so much effort to get to my IKEA I would be so totally enraged if I was stopped as a “suspected hide and seeker” and denied entry. I cannot imagine.

Maybe they're wearing Swedish furniture camouflage? If they come in with a costume that looks like a Billy book shelf. That's a dead giveaway.

How am I supposed to know if furniture is good if I can't test its viability in games of hide and seek?

I take it you've not been to an Ikea? Follow this simple rule:

- Looking happy? Here for hide and seek.

- Looking miserable? Here for being dragged around Ikea looking at furniture.

If the police stop them, they've clearly failed at the "hide" part of the game

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have to agree, if I can't test the product why would I even go to IKEA? I'd rather purchase online. At least online I can find reviews for it's hide and seek performance!

What's next? They start banning us for testing out the furnitures viability for The Floor is Lava?
