Mitch McConnell Is Not Whole Foods’ ‘Person of the Year’ | Eater

"An Amazon-owned grocery chain founded in 1980, the supermarket became the focus of confusion and consumer outrage when a separate, similarly named monthly trade publication named a political figure its 2019 “Person of the Year.” Many shoppers — some vowing to stop buying there — mistakenly blamed the grocery chain, which has repeatedly clarified on Twitter, its website and in its bio that it is unaffiliated with the magazine and did not bestow the award. The retailer has been actively reassuring customers about the distinction between the two organizations amid the controversy." - Jenny G. Zhang
