By Helen Collis PUBLISHED: 06:27 EST, 6 September 2013 | UPDATED: 08:59 EST, 6 September 2013 Irreverent customers are treating IKEA stores around the world like a free service to apparently be used and abused with impunity, reports reveal. Stories coming from across the globe include a child peeing in a Chinese store, a woman vomiting and passing out in an IKEA in Israel, New Yorkers using the shop's creche so they can have a break, Germans dropping their kids off so they can play tennis, and people sleeping in China's stores to escape the summer heat. The Swedish furniture company has often taken a tolerant stance on the disrespectful behaviour of its customers, its policy being that if people visit the store for other reasons, they are more likely to return to buy something.
