Door to door sales

Lots of things are sold door to door here: newspapers, cosmetics, fruit, veggies, fish, pottery, wind chimes, ice cream cones and mattresses all come to mind. Yes, mattresses. This floors me every time the guys come around. I just don't think of mattresses as an impulse purchase! Oh yeah, I've been meaning to get a new mattress. Thanks so much for stopping by! I mean, who buys these? We have loads of furniture stores in town that will sell you a mattress and deliver it to your house, most of them are open seven days a week and delivery is free and same day normally, so it's not that mattresses are difficult to come by. One of those things I'll probably never understand. But someone must be buying, they are paying for three guys and a truck to roam around town and that's not free. Just an oddity from my point of view.
