Why Amazon Wants To Pay Sales Tax

Posted by timothy on from the ubiquity-is-everywhere-tomorrow dept.

Maximum Prophet writes "A while ago, Amazon caved on paying individual states sales taxes. Now we know why. Amazon is setting up same-day delivery warehouses everywhere. They will put most normal retailers out of business." If that's a bet, I'll take it.

    How far from your local grocery store is ice cream made that they sell?
    For that matter, how long do you camp out at the local grocery store waiting for it to arrive so you can speed it home and eat it all before it melts?

    Irrelevant. They ship it in refrigerated trucks. In case you haven't noticed, your neighborhood UPS or Fedex delivery truck is not refrigerated.

    Are you really that stupid? I'm sorry, I have to ask because if you don't understand this simple concept you should get help.
