Amazon Is Cutting Prices at Whole Foods Again (cnn.com)

Posted by msmash on from the up-next dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Amazon is giving Whole Foods shoppers an early gift for the holidays. The grocer announced Wednesday it's slashing prices again, this time on several "holiday staples," including sweet potatoes, canned pumpkin and turkey. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you'll pay even less for turkey: Whole Foods slashed turkey prices to $1.99 per pound (compared to $2.49 for non-Prime members), or $2.99 per pound for an organic turkey ($3.49 for non-Prime members).

    Why does it not say "sponsored content" or similar?

    Sorry, but why is this here? News would be record sales, or finally being bankrupt. As it is they still look overpriced.

    McDonalds has already had successful trials of self-service kiosks. I don't think we're that far off seeing a third of the register jockeys we see today.

    Hell, if all the lanes that are normally closed were open to self-service I'd use that anyway.

    Rember bank tellers? Yeah.
