American Workers shouldn't expect to earn $1M an hour

This was the answer that the employee of Cole Fox Hardware store on 70 4th Street in San Francisco gave me after I said: There is a wise saying "You get what you pay for", actually what he said was: There is another saying "American Workers shouldn't expect to earn $1,000,000.00 an hour"

As a comeback, in my mind I went like "Whatever" but I actually said in frustration, "I'm not buying anything else made in China, they can keep their junk, God! Can you buy anything made in the US anymore?, do we make anything anymore?" I then turned around and walked up the stairs from the basement to the main floor and exit the store, but as I started up the stairs, I overheard the employee tell a couple waiting for his assistance "Have you ever been to China? Do you know how it is there?" The young woman said something which I didn't make up what it was, nor did I care, I was done with Cole Fox Hardware for good, they just lost a customer.

They had three types of the product I was shoping for and all of them were made in China, so I asked the employee, do you have any one that is American made? He said no and that's what started me going on the conversation with him. Obviously, there is more to this silly, but also serious story...
