Can't speak for anyone else, but hopefully they will not mess with Whole Foods much. They picked up some baggage with that one, and if they drastically changed things ... to put it in their language this would not be a Type 2 decision.

They have ruined Whole Foods. Anecdata: the local store is now filthy, filled with unhappy employees, and no longer carries a broad selection of items. But hey, bananas are cheaper. The "customers" are mostly local delivery services now.

What changes at the corporate level caused those effects in the stores?
