The discipline	ENDE.APP Music & Creator Tools	McDonald’s Burgers & fries	IKEA Furniture & detours	H&M Fashion & colour choice
Queue	No ticket to take.	Your number: 147. Now ready: 152.	You found the exit. Now comes the checkout.	Ahead of you: three people. Over your arm: eight items.
Unplanned extras	You came for music. Now you are planning your living room.	“Make it a meal?”	You came for a lamp. You leave with six scented candles.	You wanted one T-shirt. The socks came in a three-pack.
What you own afterwards	Music for your project. Licence included.	An empty paper bag.	An almost straight shelf.	One more T-shirt for the wardrobe full of “nothing to wear”.
When it does not fit	Take another song. That costs nothing either.	You did say no pickles.	The shelf fits. The flat does not.	It looked different in the fitting room.
Customer service	Sascha. He does everything else around here too.	You are arguing with an ordering screen.	“I am looking for this white shelf.”	“Have you got this in another size?”
Can satisfy your hunger	No. I got side-tracked.	Yes.	Surprisingly, also yes.	Also difficult.

Test conducted by Sascha Ende. Conflict of interest: outstanding.

The comparison was satire. The price is not.

Fine, I’ll take the music
