    Amazon is going to hire 5000 full and part time workers, I have to admit they are one of the most successful companies out there even though I don't like giants like that forcing mom and pop businesses to close.

    Bigger selection, more variety

    Using independent semi-professional vendors to supply the products

    A lot of sellers don't like Amazon that much because the higher costs to sell.

    Well the lower middle class can't afford Walmart anymore.
    And a lot of the buyers on Amazon are older middle class people who like to shop from the comfort of their own home (and still have plenty of disposable income).

    Millennials have had to turn to craigslist and fight for the slim pickings.

    total BS of course. Middle Class is $74K. Walmart has as many customers earning less than $25k as earning between $24-50k .About 75% are middle class or lower. Middle Class mostly shops at higher end stores. Sorry
