Remove the price tag that's typically on the shelf below the product. It's usually just a little paper insert behind some plastic.

Little US flag or Trump stickers that you can discretly add to packaging.

Placing the products upside down is a good one.

For loose produce: place fruit or veg in the little carry bags that are usually nearby, as much as you can fit. Then, just put the filled and tied bag back.

Many larger places have replaced the paper tag with an eink display these days, it's actually hard to notice it's not paper unless you look closely

Stores should have stickers indicating if a product is local and/or made in EU

Clever. I approve.

And now Jeremy has to stay an hour after close to face the shelves because his asshole manager won't let him leave until the shelves are in perfect order.

I appreciate the sentiment, but this is just possibly ruining somebody's night that just wanted to clock out and meet up with their friends.

Maybe someone passionate about this movement could distribute rolls of tiny US flag stickers to consumers so they could mark offending products, though poor Jeremy would still possibly be tasked with scraping them off.

I don't know. Jeremy needs a better job but there aren't any.

Well at least he will get paid for extra time right?

...

Right?

Yep. And probably get bitched at for going over 39.9 hours (or is that just a US thing?)
