I don't mind their products or the self assembling stuff. But every time I go to the store it feels like I am being manipulated and forced to walk past products instead of just going directly to the thing I need.

You can just skip to the warehouse part and not go through the display section. They have shortcuts near the entrance.

Yeah but the whole warehouse part is the same.

Costco does this too with the shifting of their merchandise around the store.
