Unfortunately, the 'china-i-zation' of America is upon us.

I lived in Mainland China for several years, and this was exactly how it was.

You were considered 'lucky' if you actually found what you wanted and it worked when you went to use it. My only consolation was that I was the only Gaijin in Canton at the time, and if something didn't actually work, I stood a foot taller than anyone else in town, and the reciept wasn't needed. Everyone remembered me purchasing it yesterday.
