Costco?
I mean to me it sounds like they were concerned about more stores becoming like Costco, requiring a subscription to shop there.
I’m worried that’s the endgame for say, Walmart+, I’ve seen a sprinkling of subscriber-only checkout lines and parking spots, I’ll keep an eye out to see how that dial turns in the coming years
when our kitchens are robots and the food delivery packaging etc needs to be compatible. so like 8 years?
My point was that everything is going over to subscription services and eventually it's going to flood other markets too, such as shopping because it's a money maker. It's great Apple is doing well for itself, there was some struggling years, it's crazy how much they make off subscriptions alone. Not hating on the player, hating the game.
