The only way this changes is when more people stop buying from Amazon. The incentives otherwise are too great for Amazon to do anything about it.

Yep. I found Amazon pretty useless these days and rarely use it. I buy household essentials from Target their service and delivery is good and I have an option of in-store pickup within a day or delivery within a couple of days. At least they have a stable set of brands that they sell it's not the highest quality but it's good enough for most things. The things I care about quality I will buy directly from the seller.

I've actually found, to my surprise, Walmart to be somewhat comparable to Target in the sense of feeling like I'm getting what I ordered instead of a knockoff like with Amazon. I had avoided them for years because of the terrible customer service I have received in their stores in the past but their online service is noticeably better. Their grocery Pick Up system is far superior to the competitor grocery stores in my area.
