I'm surprised that Amazon didn't go this route. With their warehouse logistics expertise they could operate everything pretty much the same except that instead

  It blows my mind, too, that Mike is about the only person I've seen do it. It's the kind of thing I'd think Amazon would find obvious. Dollar General and Aldi each make a fortune with DG having several times the margin of much of the industry. Convenience stores are all over the place with all kinds of personnel-driven issues. I'd have thought they'd prove themselves out serving the low end before aiming for the high. I think maybe it's because they're a technology company aimed at solving big problems for large numbers of consumers at once. They might have not thought of the cumulative effect of a ton of small deployments that their big thinking merely orchestrates and supplies. A weakness, perhaps?
