    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.

    do people feel they need to screenshot as they don’t want to appropriate it or is it just a convenience thing where cutting and pasting test does not work so screenshots instead? Im curious as I have a text bias.

    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.

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

      What if, in this case, the ‘somewhere else’ is in the bin? Or just randomly chucked through the ceiling tiles?

      A sort of fruit based ‘paint ball’ would surely stop them from importing US produce.

    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

      I can’t speak for every worker, but I was a grocery clerk. Facing is a regular part of the job, and it’s for a good cause. It wouldn’t bother me

      Labels would be better but US producers aren’t going to label their products voluntarily are they.

      It’s a great way to communicate foreign products to other shoppers and remind people that buying local is still important after the news cycle moves on.

      It may be somewhat inconvenient for employees but that will financially inconvenience employers and encourage them to discontinue more foreign product lines.
