Actually, there was real competition, which is why they carried tires, and gave full tire service and brakes. And many did more. βœ–οΈ

“COVID-19(84) certainly demonstrated a lot of that.”

Oh yes... That was huge shift to mandated online business. All part of the plan...

(If Costco rolls this out I am done with them.)

I imagine they’ll have something similar, eventually.

As will most big stores before long.

Maybe Amazon One though not Amazon Go (if that survives)

[Yet one step closer to β€œMark of the Beast”, whether you are religious or not, it is pretty obvious.]

True. It's pretty cool stuff. Until one realizes how simple it will be to make it so no one can BUY or SELL without authorization.

I would be cheering these technological advances if I didn't know that Revelation chapter 13 will eventually happen. Few believe it right now; once they realize it's happening, it will be too late. Then Revelation 20:4 becomes the stark choice.
