Have you been to WF in Austin Texas? What is special about the one in Boston?
Never been to a Whole Foods in Texas.
What’s special about the Boston area? That’s easy. That area is populated by socialists, anarchists, Marxists, Communists, and crazy people who were red diaper babies. American flags and Christmas trees drive these people crazy.
Think of the biggest liberal you know and imagine sprinkling Miracle Grow on them. When I lived there there were fewer than 1% Republicans in my area. I always registered as an Independent so I wouldn’t get my car damaged. Liberals are very intolerant. Many of them really mean well and have good hearts but they are very misinformed.
Having lived here all my life I can give you a million reasons.But one good example....in the Central Square section of Cambridge (a 10 minute walk from Harvard Square and *very* popular with Harvard types) there's a coffee shop called "The Clear Conscience Cafe" which features signs in the window telling of how well the growers of the coffee beans are paid and how justly and respectfully they're treated.
In short,Boston is a town where many can't even drink a cup of coffee without feeling guilt and shame.
