    It’s just a regular grocery store, albeit a rather expensive one. They give discounts for Prime members. In the back, there is an area where workers accept Amazon returns and you can also pick up orders there in the odd chance you would ever do that instead of having it delivered to your home at no extra cost…?

    Edit: I remembered that some people might want packages delivered here if they’re frequent victims of package theft

      Just the idea of a corporation growing to that size gives me the ickies. It’s just one step closer to a corporate town. I’m sure the service is great for now.

      Thankfully Amazon hasn’t really managed to settle properly where I’m from. They’re great for weird niche products, but they’re not your go-to for most things.

        I agree. The US Federal Trade Commission is actually taking legal action against them for anticompetitive monopolistic practices right now, which could result in the company being broken up.

      One reason you’d get something delivered to an Amazon locker or work or whole foods is if your home or apartment doesn’t have a secure mail room.
