Putting aside the OP's sentiment on the Guardian article linked here for a moment, I would like to quickly point out two things about said article:
First, this Guardian article is a typical (political) hit piece with one of typical hit piece structures, which I call "cherry pickings bookended by obscure but emotional anecdotes."
With the title like "'The last straw': the US families ending love affair with grocery chain after Capitol riot," you expect that this article would display at least some statistics of how the US families' spending habits in the grocery chain Publix have changed since the Capitol riot and the conceivable rationale behind the statistics.
Instead, you'll read personal statements of Ms. Wendy Mize that are bookending all the crooked things Publix has done to support the wrong side of the spectrum.
So, are there any more the US families in the Publix chain area, other than the family of Wendy (Wander) Mize, "57, an advertising copywriter from Orlando"? More importantly, how much of the spending has been decreased since the incident?
Second, said article's author, Richard Luscombe.
If you research about him, (it would be a tad annoying because he doesn't have an elaborated profile page on the Guardian or a dedicated Wikipedia page for that matter, but) you'll find that, for the past 19 years, Mr. Luscombe has been a freelance correspondent based in Miami, writing for the Guardian and other international media outlets. But mostly for The Guardian. And for the outlet, he wrote tons, tons of political articles over the years, including a series on the Pulse nightclub shooting.
Before this 19 years of his quite successful freelance period, he worked for 10 years as a reporter & columnist at the Daily Telegraph's London office. Ten years of the London office. Not at The Sun but at The Daily Telegraph. Then, he moved to Miami to become a freelance reporter for the Guardian. Hm. Did he find a religion, maybe? For the record, the Guardian runs the 3 main offices (NYC, DC, SF -- Before 2013, it was 4 including one in Houston.) and plenty of other small ones (the cubicles they call) in the US.
Let me say this though: I've heard that when people in the media industry read a resume like his, they see a colourful blinking sign, "When you talk to this applicant, do not try to chit chat about his/her personal tidbits."

Holy shit. I just gained 5 IQ points by simply reading your comment.
