That's a game changer.

Grocer's stock fell like a rock today. I wonder why?

That's an interesting combination. Amazon is known for being efficient and cheap but Whole Foods is called Whole Paycheck for being pointlessly expensive.

Whole Foods is ridiculously expensive. But it is always packed. Will be interesting to see Amazon's strategy for them.

Amazon is getting into the brick and mortar retail outlets. They have already built a few stores. Whole Foods attracts certain types of shoppers......mainly fools and idiots......They love them some of those responsibly raised chickens. They raise but then still chop their heads off. And don't get me started on their latest bullsh*t....sustainable. But who cares if they enjoy getting ripped off....let them do it.
