It's hilarious how people think they can do whatever they want in a business and have no consequences. I've watched people insist that the cops were going to arrest the manager while being handcuffed.

Pretty good moment when she received that reality check when seeking support from bystanders.

She told the newspaper she was "attacked" and compared mask requirements to the way that Nazi Germany forced Jewish people to identify themselves with a Star of David.

She also said she believed in a "plandemic" in a reference to a documentary-style video in which an anti-vaccine activist promotes a string of questionable, false and potentially dangerous coronavirus theories.

over/under that she's posted "well they should have just listened to police!" on social media in response to police brutality against PoC?

I mean, yeah, it was a little weird. At least in my neighborhood. I lived within a 10min walking distance of at least two or three Mattress Firms. It was super weird. The one that was nearest I passed by on foot regularly, maybe every other day. I never saw anyone in there, other than the employees, and every time I passed they were just standing still, twiddling their thumbs. I don't mean to perpetuate any conspiracy theories as I haven't read the article yet, but it was always perplexing to me every time I passed, there was no one in there. This was in a strip next to bustling businesses, mind you. Papa Johns, Starbucks, a popular salon...

edit: ok so theres nothing in that article. Yeah, it's super weird and I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories much but I will stand by the fact that something is definitely up, or was up (the place I mentioned has now gone under) w Mattress Firm. Maybe they just really overindexed, but it certainly stood out as being like "ANOTHER fucking Mattress Firm?!"

A Texas woman was arrested on Wednesday over refusing to wear a face mask inside a business, just days after video went viral showing her being detained in a similar incident.

Terry Lynn Wright, 65, was arrested by Texas City police just after 9 a.m. on Wednesday, according to a statement obtained by ABC 13. She had been asked by employees at an Office Depot to leave unless she put on a facial covering.

There are so many parts to discuss in this video man:
  • When she asks "Do you believe in this?", you bet your ass she was waiting for an answer like "In the pandemic? Of course!" so she could go off about how this was a plan and how we're being controlled and all that shit.
  • When she goes "police brutality right here!" and people go "Nah, it's not" 😂😂😂 man that was great.
  • Her asking for help in Spanish hoping someone would come
And yes, as someone pointed out earlier she's definitely said "why didn't they obey the police?" before in regards to a police and PoC incident.
Edit: Wait she's been arrested again for the same reason!? Oh wow...

I know this comment is a few days old but I'd just like to add my two cents. Two years ago I was in a sales class being taught by one of the Mattress Firm people that helped with acquisitions for Mattress Firm. The reason you saw a shit ton of Mattress Firms for a stint in time was they bought a lot of competition and rebranded all the stores to Mattress Firm. But a lot of the stores acquired had leases for 1-2 more years. Regardless of if there were other Mattress Firms in the area. So corporate just decided to wait the leases out. Which is why you could see some stores where there was only ever 1 person on staff. Was a purposeful skeleton crew as the store wasn't intended to stick around past the lease.

Ah I see we got a Mattress Firm PR person taken in by their pyramid scheme. What do they have on you? Why are they making you do this? Is the pay good?

The Mattress Firm company is not affiliated with me and any beliefs I type are solely owned and thought of by me. Not by me benevolent corporate overlords. Any hypothetical compensation would be in semi expensive pillows that will be delivered to my address bi-weekly. Said pillows may or may not be used to assist in the creation of a Mattress Firm super pillow fort city.
