    It’s very convenient and the prices are generally very good. But that’s because they use their size to bully the manufacturers into giving them better deals.

      Exactly, also Amazon is the king of these tactics. It is also late-stage capitalism, or better put, crony capitalism. Capitalism is suppose to be about free and open trade, but these predatory tactics make it unfair for competition, especially for medium to small businesses. This is partially why we in the US are in decline…and groceries cost more than they should.
