Matress Mack - A good Republican makes good on refund due to World Series win

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is a man of his word.

Back in May, the owner of Houston’s Gallery Furniture pledged to refund customers who paid at least $3,000 for mattresses and beds if the Astros won the World Series. After the team’s victory on Wednesday, ESPN reports, the businessman is making good on his promise, paying out more than $10 million in rebates.

“I’m happy for this great city and for the Astros,” McIngvale told ESPN

and what he did during the hurricane was admirable, but I have to believe he took out an insurance policy to cover him in the event the Astros won. That's pretty typical in these types of promotions.
