And Walmart: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19728502
Walmart’s search makes amazon look good.
Isn't Walmart already the poor man's Walmart?
It's Walmart all over again
Walmart certainly comes to mind.
Pretty sure Walmart is doing that.
Walmart customers are not hostages being prevented to buy in other shops. Analogy doesn't hold.
Cant Costco, Walmart also do the same thing, why is Amazon being singled out here?
Exactly why WalMart is still a thing
Interesting parallel to walmart.
