You know, I don’t always feel like I got the characters right but when I learned those approval button machines you see in stores like IKEA were invented in Finland so people wouldn’t have to voice their opinions even if they were good I couldn’t help but think my Finland isn’t entirely wrong.
Can you make a comic about how different countries say "did you get hungry", and greece says peinases and everyone starts looking at Greece and then Finland just jumps in and yells "PERKELE"
Ok, so I've never been to an Ikea. They're just not a thing where I am, the closest one is, I think, in Atlanta, and I almost never go to Atlanta. I think there might be one in Chicago, but I'm always doing other stuff when I'm in Chicago.
But... they've got big approve/disapprove buttons there? For... what? I'm just confused. Maybe I should go to Ikea the next time I'm in Chicago, I've heard the meatballs are good, even if I've never seen any of their... furniture I've ever liked.
@VictorMortimer those things are situated such that shoppers will end up walking past them so the can give a simple "Happy/neither happy nor unhappy/unhappy" -rating for their shopping experience as they exit the store, when the ratings are compiled into statistics the corporate can see if, for example, on day when a specific manager is working the ratings take a nosedive etc.
@VictorMortimer its really not that complicated, it's basically the usual "rate your experience" ask they have at some self checkouts but adapted to ask anyone, not just people that made a purchase.
It's just humorous that it apparently started in Finland, cause, at least in this comic, Finland doesn't like to speak, other than to swear, so of course he would invent a way to share his opinion without speaking.
