It is an interesting poll result.
This is the way I translate it.
Had Sleep Country done nothing, and just took the live and let live mentality, this would have never been news, and therefore there would be zero negative opinion against them in relation to it.
Even though the majority seems to side with them, there are now 25% of people here, that have a negative opinion of Sleep Country based on this incident. So even though they are winning, they are still losers in the end.... just like every one of us debating this whole stupid debacle.
I am in the market for a new bed, and I know I crossed them off the list. So say I buy a $2000 set.... knowing the markups in bedding is around 100%, that means they do not have the opportunity to make $1000 off of me as I will not visit their stores now. I would think just letting this guy wear his pink hair for a week, cost them much less than that, if anything at all.
It did however remind me that I have to buy one, and picked one to look at tonight on the Sears website. So Sears should thank pink hair dude as I usually buy from the first store I visit which would have probably been Sleep Country.
