It's a great way to communicate foreign products to other shoppers and remind people that buying local is still important after the news cycle moves on.

It may be somewhat inconvenient for employees but that will financially inconvenience employers and encourage them to discontinue more foreign product lines.

US producers aren't going to label their products voluntarily

They used to, proudly. But that was months ago.

I can't speak for every worker, but I was a grocery clerk. Facing is a regular part of the job, and it's for a good cause. It wouldn't bother me

Same here. Those 8 hours were gone anyways, made no difference to me.

Exactly, especially jobs where you don't have to directly interact with customers or management while doing it. I loved stock room work for the same reason

Labels are not always sufficient. Labels for Country of Origin or Made in Europe (or China) can still mean that the profits go to USA, would for me also be a reason to look for alternatives.

Many of my local stores are using red maple leafs and changing the barcode names to indicate Canadian made products.

Write your regultors, ask them to make the country of orientation a mandatory labeling requirement. Make it big and obvious.
