Why is Ikea evil?

I don't know about evil, but they were pretty good at tax evasion, spanning decades: https://medium.com/@jurgeng/ikeas-tax-scheme-a-corporate-str...

In France at least they are under investigation because they were illegally spying on their employees and even some of their customers. I am not sure what is the status of the trial, but this was big in France at the time, and happened for a very long time.

I had some issues with them. They screwed up and their customer support didn't even answer two written letters.

And that means they are evil? Wow, people nowadays.

Depends on the screw up, if it caused actual bodily harm and they didn't respond I would be inclined to call them evil too.

I will conceded to playing devil's advocate here though.
