The woman behind the counter was wearing a shirt that read 'save American business-shop local!', and there were several other signs around the business that stated the same thing.
Every item I looked at in that shop had 'Made in China', 'Made in Hong Kong', or 'Made in Indonesia', printed on it.
I asked the woman if she had anything for sale that was made by an actual American, she asked me to leave-no biggie, I wasn't going to buy some piece of crap made in China anyway.
Now, I'm all for the local business-but I'd prefer to buy local product as well.
If a Small business owner is going to tout "BUY LOCAL"-don't you think they should buy local as well?
Job well done. Idiots like that need mega-doses of cognitive dissonance.
