Then maybe they sgould buy their merch from somebody other than China. If they have empty shelves, then somebody had dropped the ball in reordering stock (i.e. inventory control).

How?

ETA: Who in their right mind would spend $1500 on an American washer instead of a $300 Chinese washer? This is partly what people mean when they say America cannot compete. Nobody is willing to pay American prices for American goods.

Eh. I tend to only stay on here during work hours. In my line of work, I need good laughs every few hours.

Manufacturing jobs are never going to return. Ever. The Cubs will never win the World Series. Ever.

Well at least no manufacturing of the physical sense, at least.

Associates, partners, members and even investors are common terms for employees.

HR consulting firms are paid big bucks to come up with stuff like this, intended to change the culture.

Or pay more for comparable work?
Or offer more opportunities for advancement?

It was not that long ago that most grocers in my area could not sell meat when a butcher was not on duty. Obviously, this was worked out with labor negotiations, over time. It's right up there with how one cannot pump their own gas in NJ.
