Lairs, Lairs pants on fire

I try and purchase things locally if I can, by supporting local business. But of course it was all good to
be true, when I purchased my bedding, [the bedding was something I've looking for since I got the bedroom suite from my late grandfolks, it was on sale and it was a the right size and shade of purple is just ME]. 
I was told in the store the company is local and everything was made here in Canada. It wasn’t until days later, when I using the packing the bedding came in for something else when I notice the fine print “Made in China”.
I was miffed 
. I hate having a sales clerks lie about product just so they can make a sale. Don’t get me wrong, I would have still purchased the bedding if I wasn’t told it was made locally. Thought it would have been a bonus but I don’t think anything like that is made in North America anymore. hmmm.
Since this has happened, the first thing I look for is now the fine print. My friends think I’m nuts but I don’t like being fooled more then once by local companies.
For those of you who’ve worked in retail, have you had to tell a white lye just to make a sale?

Yes, why lie to sell something? Once you find out the truth you’re just going to be even more pissed that you were lied to.
The only thing I ever lied about while working, was that I liked the scent. I worked at Bath and Body Works and people were already coming to checkout but I’d say “Ohh this smells great” oops. But it wasn’t like I lied to they’d get it, I..reassured them about the product~
Wow, I think that’s ridiculous. I always am much more upset when I’m lied to. People should always be honest, especially when they’re trying to sell you something. It’s not fair to lie about what you’re getting even if it’s as trivial as where it’s made.
I hate it when people lie. To bad we can’t put their pants on fire
This happens sometime and it may actually be a local product despite the “Made in…” sign. I believe there is a policy that any goods are stamped from the last place it has been to. Maybe this situation is the packaging and not the actually product itself? If you want to be sure, just ask the store manager and they can tell you. I only know about this because I read about it over at purseblog.com’s forum.
I work in retail and it is selling Godiva chocolates, and hopefully I will move on to Coach. The sweets seem to sell themselves and the company prides itself on giving customers all the actual information. In my opinion, it is wrong to led people on or promote something you do not believe in. I know it happens in this industry from time to time.
