That's not *entirely* true. I have Prime, I aggressively use it, and I still go to brick-and-mortar stores (and order from Newegg). Among other reasons, sometimes I need something immediately and it's full-on out-of-stock or only available from a 3rd party seller with no ship time guarantees. And also Amazon's pricing on groceries is pretty awful - it's much cheaper to hit a grocery store, or the SuperTarget.
