There is a set of amazon lockers at my local Whole Foods. They're one step ahead of you every time!

Unfortunately, not all Whole Foods Market stores.

Turns out that competitors like Target don’t like this practice, and if they have a rental agreement with the landlord that lets them place restrictions on what kinds of services will be allowed on the property, then they will use those to keep out competitors.

The only choice for Whole Foods is to put their store in, but they can’t have an Amazon Locker.
