Icky incident at the County Fair.

[Sequoia]

I was so glad to be able to get off work early and take my child to the fair. In the exhibit hall were these beds which she wanted to lay down on because walking around, riding rides and having fun just wears one out. So we both laid down and the sales man actually crawls on the bed with us and is looming over us. God in heaven I about had a heart attack and the look on my face would've scared the devil himself. I jumped up faster than a cricket on a hot stove and he backed off. Then he tried to get us to actually buy a bed. Never. Never. Warning: Don't lay on beds at county fairs.

1. My niece had a bad incident at Banner Mattress

The salesman there touched her inappropriately - she called the company and complained, and they were all apologetic, and tried to get her to go to another Banner Mattress store, and offered here some kind of good deal, but she will never go back into any Banner Mattress store again (So. Calif. chain)

2. wow.

I didn't know this was a thing with mattress stores. I'm moving to a futon next so I hope I won't have to worry about skeevy mattress sales people. What's even worse is thinking that they might be successful sometimes...makes you not wanna buy any of the mattresses. icky.

Model at sales convention somewhere midwest USA away from the wife and kids. I watch too much TV. But still....!
