I have gotten three automated calls from Sleepy's today, all of the form "please call us at this special number," because they don't put a human on their outgoing autodialer calls.
I called back after the second, and got someone who explained that they were the "open order center" and said she'd put me on their do not call list. Within an hour, I'd gotten a third. This time, I got a machine when I called that 800 number, so I left my number again and reminded them that I'd asked to be put on their do not call list.
This doesn't fall under federal do not call rules--they can reasonably claim an existing business relationship--but it's a very good way to make me want to buy my bed somewhere else.
