Theres just so many edge cases.
I think they are banking on 95% of purchases being just normal people trying to get food, and that will offset the margin of loss here, since they pay a lot less employees. Because they will definitely lose more product than a normal grocery store.
- gamegoblin 7y agoDo you have any data/sources to suggest that is true? Amazon has credit card info (and who knows what else) for everyone who is allowed into the store.
- kart23 7y agoWhat about kids? Are kids with their parents just not going to be let into the store since they don't have credit cards? Or will they be associated with their parents somehow. What if the credit card info is fake or stolen? Are new accounts with temp emails and stolen cards just not going to be let into the store? I've bought digital goods off amazon with prepaid credit cards that had a few dollars on them, and the purchase only got rescinded hours later.
