Locked in a shop overnight.

If you were locked in a shop overnight ( by yourself and in no danger )
Which type of shop would you choose ?
Mine would 100% be a bookshop . Even better if it had somewhere to make a coffee / tea.
My idea of heaven.

Lego shop.

Can build a few dream sets.

Mine would be a department store - try on all the clothes, swan around with the designer handbags, spritz myself with all the perfumes I can't afford (Tom Ford) then go and sample all the nice chocolates from the food hall- make myself a cappucino and take myself off to one of the squashy beds- this is a fantasy of mine so I have pondered it a lot!

Waterstones with a Costa in it. Leave me there for a week.

Not quite what you are asking, but I did get locked in Tesco once!

IKEA! Especially if I had access to the cafe as well as the showroom.

100% agree with a bookshop. Better still if I had a bag to take away the best books in....

A chocolate shop. As long as it wasn't Thorntons.

100 per cent IKEA. I'd love to sleep in one of the little mocked up bedrooms.

The nicest department store that has beds, food and books

Does Harrods have all those not sure

I agree - a bookshop (and a secret bottle of something hidden under the counter that I could sip away all night while reading).

Otherwise, maybe a sauna/spa, where I could lounge on the beds, and in the warm water, give myself a facial (without the relaxing massage part), and possibly do some maintenance waxing (parts I can reach), soak my feet and give them a good scrubbing, properly files and paint my nails (hands and feet) in peace and quiet, have a very very long hot shower in peace and have time to blowdry my hair properly so I look human again before I emerge.

Me and my friend used to have this dream. We chose Ikea.

Is there such a thing as an off-licence in a book store?

Selfridges

You’d have to drag me out the next morning kicking and screaming

Overnight?
What did you do?

Department store for sure.

Play with all the makeup at the makeup counter, try on expensive clothes, and then pig out on posh chocolates and gin before heading to bed. Bliss.

Big department store for me too.

Anyone remember that episode of Dawson’s creek where Joey and Pacey got locked in a shop overnight? I’d love that.

Someone did get locked in the big bookshop by Trafalgar Square a few years back, and he phoned the police to be let out before he’d even built a fort!

(Especially if locked in with Joshua Jackson!)

The Range - pretty much everything I'd need for overnight.

There's something quite appealing about being in IKEA without 20,000 other people.

Mine would be a hardware shop, I love the smell so much.

When I lock up our store for the night this is my BIGGEST fear.... locking a customer in!
