Gods be good and we'll never see Walmart Web Services.

The number of times I have ordered an item and recieved texts confirming both that the item was unavailable and recently delivered is extremely high. It almost always goes "thank you for your order" "we do not have any X but will replace it with X.1" "we can't deliver your order" "your order has been delivered" with no interaction from me other than to accept replacements when I placed the order.

More competition is rarely worse, even if the competition sucks - in that case you just pretend it doesn't exist. Like I do with Azure.
