On August 5, Hendrik Wallijn posted on Twitter a message which was to say the least critical of the Ikea store in Ghent: “I have just been kicked out of Ikea in Ghent. On the way out I had a discussion with the store manager: “We don’t understand either, but the police ask us to observe customers and kick them out if we suspect them of being part of the. same bubble ”. “, He posted on his account.
As you know, since the National Security Council of July 27, it is again forbidden to do shopping with others, with some exceptions. And Hendrik, an Ostend, paid the price on Wednesday …
“Manu militari, but in a cordial manner”, specifies all the same Hendrik, who will remember for a long time his stay in the furniture store, to our colleagues from Nieuwsblad. It must be said that Hendrik knew he was at fault. Because that day, he came to the store with his wife. What is prohibited. There is also, at the entrance of the store, a security guard who gives a shopping cart to one person per bubble. And only people with a shopping cart can enter the store. Hendrik and his wife tried to act as if they did not know each other, but this did not escape the vigil. “You do your shopping together, it’s against the rules, I’m going to have to escort one of you to the door,” he explained to them, before pushing them towards the exit.
Surprised, Hendrik regrets this situation: “I broke the rules. But I dont understand. In Ostend, where I live, people are on top of each other on the beach. And I find that for large purchases, like a bed, we could do our shopping together ”.
Contacted by our colleagues, a representative of Ikea confirmed that someone was checking at the entrance that the rules were respected. Ikea is only applying the ministerial decree. If people don’t play by the rules and refuse to cooperate, managers have to call the police: “And unfortunately, it has happened several times before. There have already been several assaults. Fortunately, no one has been hurt so far, ”said Colombine Nicolay, Ikea spokesperson.
