perishables - Amazon ships goods including PrimeNow delivery and leveraging their acquisition of Whole Foods to ships fresh food
things you want right away - Prime Now, 2 hr delivery in select markets
services - Amazon has an entire section of services, from auto detailing to household cleaning
* Food - restaurants, fast food, pizza, takeout
* Social experiences - bars, cafes, arcades, comedy clubs
* Things that can't be shipped - gas stations, perishables
* Things you want right away - milk, delis, convenience stores
* Things that can't be commoditized - Copying keys
* Services - Barber shops, mechanics
Other ideas?
