The same people whining here about low wages would be to cheap to pay the higher food prices and shop at the cheaper restaurants. American consumers are all about price and not about pride in quality. Why do you think the largest retailer in the country is fucking walmart. American consumers don't care their clothes are made in sweat shops. American consumers don't care their Christmas ornaments are made by 10 year old children locked in dirt floored rooms. They sure as shit don't care about the person flipping a burger.

I welcome a chain operation like Wal-Mart selling Made In U.S.A. goods. Even if the cost was higher. There aren't many stores to choose from out in the middle of Nowheresville where I live. Wally World has some kind of 10 year / 50 Billion dollar plan in effect to get more of such merchandise on the shelves, but that is fraction of what the chain sellls in a year and 10 years is a long ass time to wait.
The food at Texas Roadhouse is a helluva lot more closer to the farm raised meats that I'm used to. I rarely frequent fast food joints.
And I can't really fathom anyone buying Christmas ornaments, unless they are in the habit of pitching them in the garbage every year for the last 50 years.
