    That’s atleast better than picking up a product and leaving it somewhere else because you decided that you didnt need it anymore.

    Imma do this, but in Europe.
    Kind of related: the largest supermarket in my hometown used to put “country of origin” flags next to wine bottles only. Now they’re expanding them, aisle after aisle, to everything, it seems.

    Sounds good, but it depends on each individual market’s management whether they’ll have their lowly peons do the extra work of undoing that every time.

      The workers would still be paid for the re-facing of the product. Maybe the store would realise that USA made products aren’t worth stocking if there’s more wages required to fix up the shelf aesthetics. Workers are employed to work, if there isn’t work they’ll get sent home or have their shifts shortened. I don’t mind having to work at work, it’s what they’re paying me for.

    Maybe turn them around so they’re all backwards. Might be better for odd-shapped containers

      I’m liking it simply upside down, label still forward. It kind of burns into memory seeing the familiar label upside down. I don’t recognize the backs of most grocery shelf products.

    Sadly it’s more difficult to turn computers, websites, tech services, and operating systems upside down.

    It’s a nice idea for small physical products but it would also be nice to have a movement to boycott and give alternatives to American tech services.

      I’m almost there! Gonna install a new OS on my phone in the weekend, then I’m completely murica free.

      Next step: convincing and helping others

      Edit: except my payment cards, although I try to use my phone whenever I can (which still uses SWIFT, I guess)
