Ikea 'paid for secret police files on customers who complained'
Can't wait to go shopping there, nosireee!
![]() http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2108262/Ikea-paid-secret-police-files-customers-complained.html?ICO=most_read_module Furniture giant Ikea paid for secret police files to spy on 'complaining' customers and 'suspicious' staff at stores in France, it was claimed today.
The Swedish company paid private security firms to carry out checks on criminal records and links to political groups on more than 200 people, it is alleged. Customers involved in legal action with Ikea and employees highlighted as 'suspicious' were all targeted in the scandal which began in 2003, it was reported today.

6. Another place to add to my boycott list
I guess it's good that I don't have any money to spend. I can't find places worthy of my business.
How I wish that were a joke! |

8. That's too bad...
My wife and I were just looking at a kitchen remodel using their cabinets, I guess it's time to look elsewhere.
I really like what we selected, too... |
