This shouldn't be a meaningful factor. The businesses exist to serve customers not the other way around and if downtown is less busy some of the lunch spots should close and their workers seek employment somewhere they are actually needed. The alternative is suggesting that Amazon is being generous by donating their own workers unpaid commuting time and lunch expenses. This is a ridiculous conclusion
