Dang it...looks like I will go on. :(
Symbol of the American Way?!?!? HA! EVERYTHING in that store is foreign made. 100% of their stock. Wanna know why? BECAUSE of their "competition-shattering" low prices. If you're a manufacturer of anything, and want one of America's largest outlet chains to carry your product; they
demand that you give it to them for $xx.xx. If you can't do it while making it here, you go overseas. Yes, they hire lots and lots of local workers...that's the only reason I don't hate them completely (yet), but they are, imho, the most anti-American retail company on our soil.
I've also heard (from employees or relatives of operators) far too many stories of companies going out of business because Wal-Mart and their "unique" products screw them right the hell over by discontinuing the product (sometimes before even selling it). I
refuse to step foot in those stores...
Sorry for the Hijack, Matrix.:(:(
