I think the difference between Walmart and Amazon is that you won't see this on Amazon's webpage. You just see a nice virtual catalogue but not what happens with this stuff. |
Amazon is a company that is successful because it treats its customers right, which includes keeping costs down. It is their website, incredible variety of merchandise, prices, efficiency, and return policies which makes them hip. The same is true for Aldi, people complain about the long checkout lines but go there anyway because of the cheap prices and good quality of the merchandise. Now imagine Aldi suddenly hired more cashiers and raised their prices to pay for that --- they would lose most of their customers to Lidl. Aldi is the most extreme (even Walmart couldn't compete with them), but they give customers what they want.
Yes, you don't see what happens with the stuff at Amazon. Which saves you time and money: you don't have to drive there, pick out the items, carry or cart them back to your home, or stand in line.
