I've picked up venison at Whole Foods before.
And I wouldn't wish Golden Corral on my worst enemy.

As am I. However Amazon has been slipping of late. Customer service is slacking

I've never heard Walmart bashed on that basis. It's usually "muh mom n pop"

Well here is a quick little tidbit where they got Virgina to steal land through eminent domain.
The state considered Livinia Blackburn Johnson another human being’s property when she was born into slavery, two years before the end of the Civil War.
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 gave freed slaves like Johnson the ability to own property. In 1899, under the provisions of that law, Livinia Johnson purchased a plot of land along Carver Road in what eventually became the town of Haymarket, Virginia.
Now, the Dominion of Virginia is seizing the land Johnson purchased, in order to build an Amazon data center. Her descendants have lived in Haymarket for the last 118 years. They are required by law to sell their land to Dominion Virginia Power, which will use it to build towers that will bring power to Amazon’s facility.
Should trigger all you lefties. Slavery, Evil Corporations, and eminent domain

Why are you assuming that this is an out-of-equilibrium price shite? Couldn't it equivelently be an equilibreum shift due to a shifting supply curve?
Maybe the reason that WF can now cut their food prices is that Amazon offers distributional advances that make providing the same quantity and quality of food cheaper, thus increasing the supply. Increasing supply leads to a decrease in price and an increase in quantity demanded, but not an increase in demand.
Not sure why so many people seem to have their panties in a wad over cheaper food. I'm no fan of Bezos himself, but this seems like a pretty clear cut example of the benefits of capitalism.

Why in the world would you think that WF is operating in a perfectly competitive market?

Bezos is clearly not a good guy. Why people want to keep lining his pockets with money is beyond me.
