Exactly correct:
After the electronic scammers misrepresented themselves and had succeeded in getting companies to dump on Rush, SleepTrain jumped on THAT train.
“Sorry, Rush..! Buh-bye..!”
I cannot FATHOM what a huge slap in the face that must have been:
That was NOT just SOME company; Rush was almost single-handedly responsible for their success. People would drive from LITERALLY hundreds of miles around, purely out of devotion to Rush.
The only really innovative thing the SleepTrain bozo had come up with was to permit customers to test lay on the product SANS PLASTIC SLEEVE COVERING...!
The idiot’s first branch was almost in a type of Sacramento SKID-ROW, complete with hobos and, err, how should I say this....artistically-incluined gentlemen who’d gather in.. raucous celebration in the darker corners of the nearby light-rail station.
Then, when Rush’s staying power was clear, SleepTrain felt it could simply waltz back, free of any consequences.
NO DICE..!
Is Sleep Train even still in business? I don’t think I hear anything about them any more.
