After reading all of these experience's all I ca say is that you guys need to go shopping for a mattress. My wife and I went to a Sleepy's near us and it was the worst sales experience of my life. The sales person would not leave us alone even after we aquiesced to some weird "pressure point measurer" to see what kind of mattress we would like. We asked that she let us look around, and she literally followed us around, never more than 10 feet from us, and would pipe is with some useless bullshit about "coil systems" every time we laid down.

We finally asked for some literature, and she started the hard sell talking about how how great of a deal we would get if we bought today. I re-iterated that we were doing reserach and looking around, and she started in again. Finally I just interrupted her and flat out said "We're not buying a mattress today. You can stop now." and she rolled her eyes and walked away. We then went to JC Penny's where the salesperson told us to look around and ask him if we had any questions. We bought a mattress.

Much of these troubles can be chalked up to inexperience, but in the end capitalism works everything out. The bitch got nothing and the good salesperson got the sale.

The guy in the Best Buy story made his first mistake by accepting such poor service and continuing to try and spend his gift card there. The better solution would have been to tell the manager and attendant to fuck off, leave and then go to the other Best Buy (like he ended up doing anyway) and buy both products from them.

In our world you get the exactly the level of service that you demand. If you are willing to accept less, you will get less.
