I just emailed IKEA asking them to include metric on their US web site.

Scott,
Out of curiousity, how recent was your "last visit there"?
The original poster [USMA:37317] implied there was a (same-store)
reversion "recently". (My observations [USMA:37321] are [weakly]
consistent with that.)
It would be nice to figure out if a reversion is in progress, and maybe
provide feedback to try to, well, reverse the reversion. (I imagine the
display signs in question are replaced frequently, and they seem to listen
to [or at least solicit] customer feedback, and are certainly
image-conscious...)

The Ikeas here in the San Francisco bay area are predominantly metric,
with the disposable 1 m measuring tapes with cm on one side and metric on
the other. On my last visit there, most of the people I noticed were
using the cm side of the tape. Most were immigrants - but a few were not
:-)
