The cold weather ebiking stuff is funny and unique, it would be a "no shit" if it realized I live in Minnesota, but because this account predates my move Amazon just doesn't have a "lives in place" listing for me.
So it's definitely pulling from Whole Foods sales info too, I noticed their self checkout recognizing me when I used the same credit card they have on file. There's a Whole Foods across the street from the vape shop I used to go to and they were the only place anywhere nearby that carried a local brewery NA beer that I like, and those purchases have to be the source of the "non-alcoholic specialty food" thing.
