My wife an I (mostly me) have abused the amazon prime for the past few years with utter disregard. Keeping in mind that everything on Amazon prime is more expensive than the store, I order almost 90% of the stuff I need from amazon. I abuse it in every way. Ive ordered a toothbrush from Amazon. While it does costs more, once you factor in time, gas and no sales tax then its a win.
Walmart (amongst others) has hired lobbyists to force "internet" vendors (read Amazon) to start collecting sales tax. Some mental lightweight believes that will make me get in my car, drive to walmart or target, look for a product, wait in line to purchase and then drive back home.....It only takes one small mind to cause havoc in a civilized society. I am fully adjusted to waiting 1 or 2 days for my UPS guy to bring my Amazon products. Now, keeping in mind that Jeff Bezos from Amazon has decided to go to war with everyone in the world (walmart, apple, Google, etc) he is the type of big thinker that is completely willing and able to lose money to adjust people like me to his service. I rarely if ever will physically go to a store to buy products anymore so what Walmart and their brain trust need to do is jump in on the internet fight and start losing some money to adjust consumers to ordering from them. Funny thing is that walmart has a HUGE advantage becuase people can return to them if they order online, they can service products and have products waiting. They could EASILY take out Amazon if they look that lobbying money and put it into thought. It only takes one.......
