The thing that really ****es me off about IKEA and will cause me never

There are shortcuts at the Leeds branch that can shorten the route
through considerably.

I suspect there are shortcuts in every store. They were easy to find in the two
in Scandinavia I frequented 20+ years ago

Certainly there were in the Lakeside one when I last used it some years ago.
(I doubt they've blocked them, but they don't make them very obvious.)

_They_ are probably staff shortcuts for their use in case of fire!

No, there are no doors on them and they are signposted.
