My local WF used to be a nice place to shop before the acquisition. But once Amazon took over, the place turned into an assembly line! It's like you were stepping into a turn-of-the century factory (well, turn of the _last_ century). I just stopped going there.


For me, other than the online order filler folks, I've been surprised by how other little change I've noticed. Aside from promoting kindles in locked glass cases and for some reason ice chests, I hadn't noticed a change.


Yah, Amazon changed the vibe of the place. It's gotten a lot more visually distracting with the visible blue prime stuff everywhere and all the loud reminders for prime rewards and other marketing peppered around the store. Different physical presence too with the Prime Now bagging/staging areas, and the Amazon lockers too.
