OOOOoooooo snap. One word, but it's so true. And that's exactly how Amazon thinks.

I got my Amazon Fresh grocery order last weekend, sourced from the Whole Foods up the road. The delivery was cheaper than every alternative (Instacart, etc), the produce was great, and the process was painless.

If 5 years ago you told me I'd be ordering fresh produce from Amazon with same day delivery, I wouldn't have believed you. Which do you think is more difficult for them logistically? Delivering perishable goods or digital services? Lol.

They can deliver a subset of services. Unless they have a general-purpose search engine ready to go, they'll likely always lag Google on that side.
