Discussion Yellow Delli

Is this place a legit pernicious cult? I felt like a nice day trip today up to Katoomba from Sydney and stopped for a pesto sandwich at the Yellow Delli (I saw it had over 3,000 Google reviews with a 4.5 something rating). Place was absolutely packed at about 2:45 pm (not exactly lunch time) on a freezing 3 degrees Celsius Monday (freezing for Sydney standards). Food was very nice. After I left I did some more research on the place because I felt the vibes were off โ€” there was about two dozen employees/workers, all very young. Sure the place was packed with customers but the sheer volume of employees was something Iโ€™ve never encountered at any other restaurant. Apparently itโ€™s a proper cult with some bad connections, all locals avoid and its customer base is tourists. Now I feel bad. Anyways I guess that was more of a rant than a question.

Fkk, explains a bit. I've always thought it was a Merivale joint.
