7: Sweatshop

A customer came in yesterday and didn't want to buy the $5.99 cup-and-saucer set because it was made in China.

"My daughter's Chinese. I've been there too many times. I know what it's like. What else do you have?"

I showed her the alternative, at three times the price: a $20 cup-and-saucer set made in France.

She bought two sets.
