I've actually been to the Whole Foods in Autsin, it's pretty big for sure.

    the one where I'm from is constantly in the news for negative PR stuff that isn't even related to food.
That's what I mean by the cult-like nature. It's a grocery store but people treat it like it's a way of life or a religion. It's food. I don't need the place where I buy my lettuce to tell me how to feel about pedicabs.

Also, when you check out they ask if you would like to donate to their Whole World Foundation, which is fine. What's not fine is the quiet judgment that occurs when I say "no thank you" every time.
