The LA Times printed some feedback from customers. Some of them are NOT happy about the situation.
“It’s pretty ridiculous,” said Will Sisto, balancing 12 drinking glasses and two glass coffee pots in this arms as he headed to his car in the Costa Mesa store’s parking lot last week, nursing a nasty sprained ankle. “I’m not going to pay any money to get a bag.”
Ikea sells a reusable bag, called the Big Blue Bag, for 59 cents.
