There are many people (my neighbors, co-workers) who have groceries delivered. I think the cost is very reasonable. But many people don't mind shopping. The question regarding amzn is that suppose internet groceries became very popular, why does that mean amzn will get all the business ? What prevents a different competitor in each city ?

By the way, are the mega used car lots taking all the business ? Are they even profitable ? Republic Industries was the darling. They were going to revolutionize car sales. I think nothing happened

Michelle -- I get more confused each time -- now AMZN is basically into the home delivery business? So are they competing with UPS and fedex and the post office and the mail man and the milk man and the avon lady? You don't believe that, right?

Neither will I with a screaming drooling baby in my arms and a prambulator that just refuses to go in the direction I push it in !
