Table for Two, Tack by Rin Brooker, Adam Bordelon

January 25th, 2009 1:17 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Have a candlelight dinner at IKEA. See how long it takes the staff to notice you.

Record the reaction customers have to you, if any. Discuss why you chose the dining room set-up that you did. Photograph yourself having dinner, complete with descriptions of the food you served.

Extra points for using non-plastic tableware and food not from a take-out place. Candles are not optional.



For your listening pleasure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thrilling. We hit two different stores to make up for the fact that neither of them were real IKEA. We don't have any of those in Alaska. So, we substituted for other IKEAs.

Mission 1

Mission 1

The Amish IKEA. This store is rather small with a lot of chance to get noticed. I brought salads and grapes. Adam brought PB&J sandwiches. we chose these foods because they are non messy.


glass

glass

We bought special glasses just to mascot this event. Classy. we also bought soda to fill them with. Unfortunately, that part of the plan was never to become.


Adam

Adam

He did a lot of loud talking to hide what we were up too. Everyone around knew just how great he thought all the tables were and what was wrong with them if anything was.


Rin

Rin

here I am agreeing and waiting for the signal to set up. Behind me you can the rest of the store. It wasn't big but luckily there were other customers to take the sales beast's attention. Soon, we were able to take out some of our food.


candles

candles

for safety and liability reasons we used fake ones, but they still lit up and looked good so we feel it counts.


(not) looking suspitious

We finally brought out the food. We were a little scared because the lady at work there looked mean. In the end our will to do this task overthrew our fear of the sales beast in the purple shirt and we got out the foodstuffs.


mmm

mmm

I like this pic because I look ragged and hungry(i forgot the forks). Unfortunately, we got scared as the people left. We asked one man to take our picture, which he thought was a bad idea and refused. Shortly after we left. on the way out the sales beast cornered us and she squinted at us and asked what we were up to. I was terrified.


Sadler's

Sadler's

Next week we went to the Sadler's IKEA, a MUCH larger store.


Helen

Helen

Helen was the nice Sadler's beast that wanted to sell us a table. Our story was that we were looking for a table for our apartment and that we wanted to just sit around for a while to see how we liked them.


set up

set up

We set up as soon as Helen left and we knew she wasn't coming back. This time we brought fruit cups, cookies, jerky, and home made egg mcmuffins, which were amazing.

Same safe candles as last time.

This man beast did not stop to talk to us.


yummy

I liked the fruit cup part, it was good. I forgot to bring spoons though so I had to eat it with my face.


deal

This table comes with the chairs. If we were really buying a table we would get it.

Next it was Adam's turn to eat as I used the camera.

We weren't discovered and left of our own accord after we ate.

You guys rock my socks: two furniture stores, safe candles and Rin's hairdo and tasking gloves + hat. Wow.
I hate having no votes. Soon, I hope.

Well thank to all of you for voting for us Rin is the BA brains of this one. I do have to add that the Amish furniture store was only like 30 deep and we were smack dab in the middle of it

I can honestly say I have no idea where that is....*google maps* Ah, ok, so you're a bit out of Anchorage. Not too bad, at least you're on the mainland... :)

Nice!
(Playing SF0 will get you all so used to not worrying about what salespeople or others will do that you become more and more fearless!)
