Actually, you don’t understand the Amazon business model.

Neither does Forbes

Bottom line: Amazon’s business model, which in many respects resembles that of Standard Oil during the late 19th century, doesn’t work. Amazon.com operates in a different industry at a different time, and cannot take customers and competition for granted.

“They lose money on every sale - They make it up in volume? “

No. They pour every cent of profit back into expansion and new ventures.

Plus, about half their sales are ‘third-party’ where they take a cut and thus make money even when the real vendor may be losing money. Not only a cut of the sales price but also a cut of the S&H fee!

Thus, when you think Amazon is selling something too low to be true, it is the third-party vendor taking the hit, not Amazon.

Author makes an incorrect assumption leading to an incorrect conclusion.

But thanks for the click-bait.

Wonder if they would have a problem with the sexual classification “Free Range Pooper”.

Cop a squat where ever you want. Cleanup in aisle 3 indeed.

I kind of like the idea. I mean they do discriminate against people with colostomy bags.

I want to fell and check out out stuff before I buy.

How do you get past the packaging to actually touch the product?

The most popular item at our house at Christmas is my pocket knife to cut through the plastic bubble packaging.

Bathroom policy I don’t agree with. But then I don’t go into these stores looking to
use their rest rooms.

“he/she/it” sounds like what someone did in the bathroom.

I wish that I could've joined the Target "restroom boycott" but I couldn't.

I'm still boycotting Target over the way they dumped the Salvation Army bell ringers years ago.

The RULE is: NEVER, EVER ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO ENTER A BATHROOM WITHOUT YOU.

That is the only solution.

The whole transgender issue is moot....if you are a man, in a mens restroom....any transgender man will have to use a stall....who cares....Likewise, in a woman’s restroom....everybody uses a private stall....and, by the way...if your little daughter is using a restroom and you are not FULLY in charge....you are missing the boat.
