I spent 2 years in Gitmo because I removed a tag from a mattress prior to its ultimate purchase by the end consumer.
What are you, some kind of Joe Profaci?
I ran a crew of tag-rippers out of Vegas for about 4 years. We made some good money for a while. Most people don't realize that if you return that tag to the store, they have to give you store credit for a new mattress. It's like a federally managed proof of purchase program that the International Sleep Products Association managed to lobby into law in the early 60's.
So, you know, if you ever buy a mattress with no tag, that's because it was sold twice.
