I don't disagree with you about the shops. I'm just stating that Amazon Warehouse killed the retail economy and the spin off jobs it created. Also, you could add that Amazon Warehouse holds more variety of stock (items). The high street shops were never going to be able to compete with that. So its a win in terms of variety of availability but a loss with respect to the local jobs lost and the skills those people possessed. The other factor is that Amazon is an American based company so the profits go back to the USA. (Well, maybe its Ireland since I think they're registered there but you get my point).
