There's a big difference between "grocery store is clean and nice" and "grocery store is setup in a cruel imitation of Ikea designed to force you to wander past every single endcap in an attempt to milk you for maximum dollars".

It's basically a digestive membrane. The parallels between the Ikea shop design and an intestinal tract is striking.

The shop staff would correspond to gastric enzymes.

And this is why I don't like Trader Joe's, even though every member of my family thinks I'm crazy. TJ's is a mini version of an Ikea escape room masquerading as a grocery store.

The last Trader Joe's I was in was set up roughly like this. https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/tulsaworld.com/...

How big was the one you went to if they even had room to make a maze?

Where are you that your Trader Joe's are like this? Every one I've been in is set up just like a normal grocery store with aisles
