I rarely shop at Amazon. If I can get it in a physical store I do. I will gladly pay a bit more for something I can get now. Many shopped Amazon several years back because of lower prices. That really is no longer the case. I can buy most things for around the same price at physical stores or even less in many cases. I also have an easier return time if need be. Amazon does see the need for physical stores and that is one reason they bought a stake in Whole Foods. Sending produce through the mail didn't work out so well I guess.lol. Happily many physical stores are combating Amazon on that front. Home delivery service,curbside pickup etc is becoming very popular. I don't see physical stores or even the book business being ruined by Amazon. They are indeed evolving to fight the quick rise of Amazon.
As for the Amazon Warehouses. There's one in my neck of the woods now. Pretty much everyone I have spoken with that work there..do not like it. Honest Mistakes are handled harshly there. We are talking stuff like accidentally putting the wrong item in a box.
