Story
SCP-3008 is a furniture store resembling a standard IKEA location situated in an otherwise ordinary commercial area.
However, once inside, visitors discover that the interior space is vastly larger than its external dimensions should allow.
The interior of SCP-3008 appears to extend infinitely, consisting of countless showrooms, warehouses, cafeterias, and corridors filled with furniture.
Attempts to locate an exit or fully map the structure have all failed.
Numerous individuals have become trapped within the anomaly for years.
Over time, some survivors have built improvised settlements using available furniture in order to defend themselves against the dangers lurking throughout the store.
The primary threat comes from entities known as "SCP-3008 Employees."
During daylight hours, these creatures resemble ordinary retail workers, although they possess unusual physical characteristics.
At night, they become highly aggressive and attack anyone they encounter while repeating customer-service-related phrases.
Food supplies found within the dining areas allow survivors to remain alive, but the combination of hostile entities, isolation, and the endless environment makes SCP-3008 extremely dangerous.
To date, no expedition has successfully explored the entirety of the anomaly.
