>Heck you could even say the Amazon Whole Foods Acquisition was a loser -- they haven't leveraged the store network like Walmart has.

As someone who was a regular at Whole Foods even before the Amazon acquisition, from my viewpoint, it has been a win-win.

1. The online shopping experience has been amazing from the Amazon site/app. Target comes close. 1.a. The free delivery for Prime members was an awesome perk while it lasted and definitely made me buy from WF more than the alternatives I have.

2. I get 5% from the Prime card, I actually am incentivized to shop more at WF.

3. Amazon wise I can safely pick up my packages from the nearest store.
