Today, a customer made a huge scene at work because all of our reading glasses are made in China, and apparently any "moral" person should be repulsed by that. FML

Alright, well, if they're willing to pay the literal price for products made in this country, I'm sure there's an Etsy shop for that.

I feel ya, OP. I work for a paint company and a customer called in mad because he couldn't read the label. When I offered to help, he got mad because we "wouldn't have to make the label so small if we didn't have to make room for Mexicans". Hang in there OP, you don't come across those people too often.

I know it was a joke, but out of curiosity I looked it up... There's actually stores on Etsy that sell reading glasses at the lovely price of $79

I can only hope there's still time to do what's moral and import reading glasses from Antarctica. Better douse the store in holy water too for good measure.

She makes a point... That shouldn't Be ignored if you understood what made in China means for the people in China..

While it's true that conditions in factories overseas is (way too often) appalling, OP's username suggests that the customer wasn't exactly thinking about the welfare of Chinese workers.

An unborn fetus in a sweatshop made those reading glasses.

If they don't like Chinese made products then she can shop at a different store or be escorted out of the store by security

Probably the second, cause I can't think of a store that doesn't primarily have cheap Chinese stuff for things like reading glasses.

I think the person doesn't like products made in China period.
