I'm pretty sure that the "rules" part is accurate, because at one
point someone says to Bette Midler "Rat jobbers rule" and her reply is
"They don't rule me."

Also, the movie is about rock and roll and the entertainment industry.
There's no context for a "rack jobber"

Actually, there could be. Rack Jobbers stock the cassettes and CD's
you see at highway truck stops.

Doesn't seem likely, but it still makes more since than "Rat-Jobbers"

Ah. There might be something there. The core of the plot is that Bette
is a rock star who wants to take a year off and her manager won't
agree. At one point he says something like: "If you stop now you'll be
in the remainder bins in a year."
