I think the stores could become a modern version of the Post Office, where you can pick up and/or return your Amazon packages.

They already have this with Amazon Lockers. I get a majority of my packages shipped to the locker that's in the grocery store next door.

Exactly. At minimum this is a lot of new locker locations.

But you can have so much more than lockers when you own the place.

Or to use the Apple analogy, Whole Foods is basically the Apple Store. Maybe they'll just call it the Amazon tore?
