Mattress stores that stay open 24/7, pretty sure you send them a mattress full of cash and they deliver you a mattress full of coke

Chicago has a weirdly high number of mattress chain stores. There's a stretch near me that has 3 of them in the span of 4 blocks. They've all been there for awhile and there's rarely ever anyone in them. No way these are legit businesses considering how often people buy mattresses.

There are mattress places in my town in locations that have to cost a significant sum to rent that are "by appointment only."

I never see anyone go in or out, and I've not known a single person who would schedule an appointment just to buy a forking mattress.
