As part of our trip to the Tetons, we spent a few hours in Jackson Hole in search of Momentos. I wonder if all the shops belong to the same person, because the inventory varies very little from locale to locale, and even the prices are very close. One thing, however, that differed that makes me think there is at least some honest competition, is who worked in those stores.
When my dad needed to ask a question, the employee to whom he turned asked him if he spoke Russian. Even if he had, why should he? We're in WYOMING for crying out loud! All three employees in the Shirt Off My Back location were foreign nationals from Russia or former satellite nations. In the economy as presently constituted, we should offer Americans the chance at those jobs before we grant work visas for foreigners who aren't interested in the clients and can't even communicate with them.
I suspect there's some kind of deal brokered between this particular company and some state department program to bring in people on work visas from the Eastern Bloc. They probably pay them a pittance, charge them for room and board, and then send them home, thus minimizing price to earnings ratio. However, it would behoove Wyoming, which is consistently identified as the freest and most Constitutional state, to set the example. Offer those jobs to Americans, who would likewise appreciate the wages, room and board, etc., in lieu of foreign nationals whose interests lie elsewhere other than in the United States.
