No doubt there's going to be "teething" issues to be worked out, but it is the future. Amazon is just leading the way which is already in progress and has been.

No argument there, but I'll still seek out the Mom & Pop stores and pay by cash whenever I can or until they take it "from my cold, dead hands".
You're fortunate to have a "mom and pop" store in your area. The closest grocery store to me is a Shoprite 15 miles away and the only Mom and Pop store is just as far (Incollingo's in Egg Harbor City). There are some local convenience stores that carry a variety of products, but nothing where you could really stock up on groceries.
They are few, a couple are close. A 'supermarket' type was just opened by 2 brothers, they will probably have a tough go as the last 2 markets there, both chains, did not last with the competition from Shop-Wrong right down the road from them. But I give them credit for trying, they have some very good store made foods as well. Also a nice Polish shop with hard to find stuff and a Scandinavian shop, online orders and I pickup, 2 independent butchers that also carry some staples and fish markets galore
Summer has more to select from for fresh veggies though.
