Remove the price tag that's typically on the shelf below the product. It's usually just a little paper insert behind some plastic.
Little US flag or Trump stickers that you can discretly add to packaging.
Placing the products upside down is a good one.
For loose produce: place fruit or veg in the little carry bags that are usually nearby, as much as you can fit. Then, just put the filled and tied bag back.
Many larger places have replaced the paper tag with an eink display these days, it's actually hard to notice it's not paper unless you look closely
Stores should have stickers indicating if a product is local and/or made in EU
seems like a pretty bad idea, i think this is just gonna inconvenience the workers. officially "made in EU/USA" labels would be better imo
Been doing it for nearly a month already! It helps a lot!
Keep doing it Canadians
That's friggin awesome.
I'm definitely running with this idea :-)
I am trying to buy local as much as possible where I live.
I wonder if they do the same with the guns and bombs the US sells them.
