AMZ was responsible for their demise?
With the exception of borders, I'd guess that all of those, starting with Service Merchandise, were either gone or already sliding down the drain whirlpool before AMZ was a 'thing'.
To be sure, they're responsible for a lot of smaller businesses shuttering, and may some as big as those mentioned.
Even though they now collect tax in CA, they'll still hold an advantage in convenience:cost.
And do I understand that I'm part of the problem, not the solution. But more and more I have to vote with my Wallet (except for Walmart, my one vestige of humanity and compassion for the Little Guy).
