Astros Win, Customers Win, And Mattress Mack Loses AND Wins

Posted 09-09-2014 at 06:14 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Talk about promotions to bring a baseball club back to life. That was the plan that Jim McIngvale of Houston's Gallery Furniture stores presented to customers who purchased $6,300 or greater of furniture items from his two stores. Mattress Mack, as he's known, decided that his prediction for the hometown Astros was 100 losses again. So he made a bet.

Here is a message to davrosisamajortroll

Please stop giving me rep points or otherwise stalking me. As I say above, I have no interest in having a relationship with anyone.

We can talk about biases all we want. Depending on school of thought, some say open discussion makes it worse, not better. Depends who you ask, and about what race (condition, gender, age: you name it).

My company has a great medical plan and basically foots the bill for people to be active. There are very...
