Upon purchasing a bed at Sleepy’s today, the sales rep handed me a waiver.
“What’s this for?” I asked.
“I like to call it the McDonald’s coffee clause,” he said.
I recalled the 1994 lawsuit, where a 79-year-old woman from New Mexico was awarded $2.86 million from the McDonald’s Corporation for spilling a cup of hot coffee in her lap. But I still didn’t get the reference.
The Sleepy’s sales rep guy sensed my confusion.
“If you fall out of bed, it’s so not our fault,” he explained.
As for my get rich quick scheme…FOILED AGAIN.
At least he threw in a free mattress protector.
