"While this global pandemic has made for highly challenging conditions for workers on the ground, it has been a boon to Whole Foods and its parent company Amazon's bottom line," Leighton and Wicks argued. "During the COVID-19 pandemic, Amazon's revenue, including its revenue from online grocery orders from Whole Foods, has skyrocketed. In the third quarter of 2020, Amazon's revenue increased by 37% to $96 billion, and it has projected that its total revenue in 2020 will be $380 billion."
