by accepting lower margins

That is, by lower quality standards and working conditions.

That's not how it works.

If Whole Foods is currently getting a 10% margin on a product and Amazon says we'll sell it for a 5% margin, nothing else has changed in the store or the product, but the price and margin are lower.
