Seems to me that some of Amazon's expansion is all over the place.
For example, Amazon Fresh stores in London are shutting down in places (Dalston) but opening enormous new ones in other spots (Monuement and Croydon) in the same month. I've barely seen anyone in one; with more staff than customers.
- londons_explore 4y agoThe Ealing Broadway one, having been open 18 months, still sometimes has queues out of the door to let people in...

- londons_explore 4y agoThe main selling point of Amazons stores is that with no checkouts they can have fewer staff, and less shop footprint for the same number of items sold. Both translate into being cheaper to run. That should mean they can afford to sell items cheaper than competitors, and win custom. Yet... Amazon Fresh is the most expensive shop of its kind around.
- zxcvbn4038 4y agoAmazon Go stores are the same way - very bright and attractive, definite cool factor to no checkout, food is always fresh - but everything is overpriced and there usually more employees than customers. I usually see one person restocking and two people to answer questions and help with installing the Amazon Go app. I only bought drinks there because they were the only thing not marked up ridiciously - plus every food item seemed to have quinoa in it and I am not a fan.
