Whole foods was a ‘halo’ specialty food retailer. It specifically treated the workers well and paid them well. Amazon should have anticipated that this would create a problem with their operational model. Purchasing Whole Foods was a mistake for them. Aldi would have been a better fit.
Aldi is also widely regarded as a place that treats workers well, albeit below a co-op level of good. But considering its a German company its no surprise that they tend to have above average pay and benefits for workers.
The best move for Amazon would probably have been to start their own model of wage-slaver grocery mart
