I try to buy as local as possible....for environmental reasons.


same here

offshore manufacturers dont follow strict environmental regulations as here plus it also saves on the transportation carbon footprint

And when I go to Costco, you should see me getting those samples. I am like an animal. I shove little kids and old people out of the way. I throw in the elbows. I block off half the sample table with my shopping cart to slow the others down.

is that how asians act? with other asians or just to foreigners?


If you think getting on a bus is bad with a dozen korean grandmas shoving you out of they way to get there first, you should see costco on a saturday or sunday afternoon. It is wild. I think they just act this way in gerneral though.
