5 Reasons Why Amazon Bought Whole Foods

There's a variety of news out there on it. I'll be curious what they do with it. Amazon moves quick, so it won't take long to see.

Also, Walmart bought a semi-high end clothing brand: Walmart is acquiring one of the hottest men's retailers for $310 million

What's Walmart going to do with $100 chinos, idk.

You can see the writing on the wall for target slowly but surely.

Target vs wal-mart vs Amazon will not end well for this company with the way things keep going.

We're in the middle of a revamp of how our processes work. I'd say let's wait and see how this works company wide before judging.

I say this in almost every thread where someone claims Target will go out of business: Some of y'all are way too damn pessimistic.

Grocery stocks are getting clobbered after Amazon-Whole Foods deal

I'm a realist. Not like I'm saying anything to crazy. I'll wait and see how this revamp (that has failed my store ) will work.

I'd argue that not all processes, especially one as complex as e2e, can be successful immediately. It will take lots of tweaking and feedback for it to succeed. A rollout of this scale will never go flawlessly. Amazon's delivery service still has tons of issues despite being in my area for a year. Consider it growing pains, but on a huge scale.

Besides, a shakeup like this was needed. Target and Walmart were encroaching on Amazon's business, and now Amazon has fired back. Competition is a good thing for both consumers and (necessary)employees, and that's what we'll see in the coming years.

Our stock tumbled a lot this morning. It has recovered slightly but Amazon is taking no prisoners

 

[WinterRose]

I have to admit I was dismayed when I saw this news. With Amazon's delivery service, I think it'll make it even harder for the grocery part of Target to flourish. We have instacart in for store and that helps.

Amazon's about to show us what a real grocery remodel looks like.

Hopefully Amazon buys Target next in order to destroy Walmart!

Then, you hear about this sad story:
Rigged. Forced into debt. Worked past exhaustion. Left with nothing.

The spot response was:
When asked about labor violations by trucking companies in Target’s supply chain, spokeswoman Erika Winkels wrote: “Target doesn’t have anything to share here"

Agreed. This is how I look at it though. If Safeway (Vons, Albertsons) can stay in business despite charging more than double on the same shit we sell at Target, then Target isn't going anywhere.

Hell, in my area, Safeway can't compete with Giant's Peapod delivery yet Safeway still has stores.

I'll bet not. Guess what e to e will be like with multiple stores on a trailer.

Albertsons, Safeway gone in my part of the world.

Target could easily get into the grocery game if :

1. Invested hours to the grocery team.
2. Hired more TM and paid them competitive wages.
3. Hold TM accountable for checking for expiration dates.
4. Asked Guests what would make them shop at Target for groceries and listened.
5. Better produce and products on the shelves.

Im a big fan of Quartz: Who wins and who loses in Amazon's blockbuster deal to buy Whole Foods

Why Jeff Bezos is obsessed with groceries

Both worth a quick read.

Oh man. This is why unions have been formed. 67 cents/week wtf. I wouldn't sit on a toilet for a company for 67 cents a week. He was literally just working to buy that truck and the company was taking all of that right back and shiting on him.

That's why Wally World has curbside service on groceries. Anything else for pickup, you need go to the back of the store & get it from there.
