(21,043 posts)I find the way to get around phone systems - to speak to human beings.
I ask the person that answers where they're located. If they're located abroad, or hide where they're located because they're abroad, I contact the company and ask why they're not hiring Americans.
I refuse to use self-checkouts.
I refuse to use drive-throughs.
I refuse to go to ATMs
I refuse to buy new products except products manufactured in the U.S., such as Vera Bradley bags, for example. If I have to buy something, I buy it used. When I buy used, I'm still using money, but it stays in the U.S. More importantly, it doesn't support corporations that manufacture outside of the U.S.
It's important to contact corporations and ask them why they're hiring firms abroad instead of Americans. They're scumbags who think only of how to line their own pockets with as much money as possible, and think the country they're selling to can go to hell.
