Ikea stores are exactly the same everywhere – the products, the store layout, the food in the restaurant. But we saw something in the Madrid Ikea that was a surprise. After a long Metro ride to South-of-Nowhere Madrid and a long shopping ordeal through the Ikea maze, we found ourselves at last near the checkout lines.
That’s when the music started. Mamma Mia. The music caught our attention, but it was the clapping that drew us over to see what was happening. There were dozens of Ikea employees doing the Mamma Mia dance. Customers started joining in, even a security guard or two – all joining in the Mamma Mia line dance as the music blared with everyone around watching and clapping along until the song ended, a security guard threw his hat in the air, and everyone went back to work or their cash register line. Everyone a little happier than they had been just a few minutes before.
I saw an event like that on Youtube--believe it was in the Madrid train station, where everyone began dancing. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Maybe Madrilenos (?) are happy people who just like to start dancing spontaneously!
