My opinion is most of the store have missed the boat and Amazon will clean up while stores like Macys, Home Depot, Lowes etc will eventually disappear. The only stores left will be food stores like Shaws Hannafords Ralphs etc. Associates will then be forced to work minimum wage or less doing menial jobs like picking and packing in huge warehouses for the online giants.
Amazon has an issue.. They ship slow as balls unless you are Prime. I ordered some auto parts the other day.. The delivery time for "free" was the 17th.. That's me ordering last Sunday..

To rush the part for "2 day" shipping it was $60+ extra.. fuck that obviously.. This didn't even mean I'd get it in 2 days, it just meant after they shipped it would be 2 days.. They could take an additional 2 days just to ship it..

I opted for 1 other option for $4 extra which was delivery between the 6th & 11th..
