> You can say "go somewhere else" but selecting a different store isn't even a realistic option for many people in the US - there are no alternatives.
You can order online and it will kill off the brick-and-mortar stores even more if they don't vet their products. Amazon's been trying to convince people to do more home grocery shopping with them for a couple years already. If people lose confidence in Wal-Mart and their local grocery stores' products, Amazon will kick their butts.
Unfortunately, Amazon is not immune to fake products. For me, after being burned too many times, the honeymoon is over with Prime. If you read the reviews, you'll see this is a big problem on Amazon.
That's another problem though. I don't want to spend an hour researching reviews for every product I want to buy on Amazon. It's ridiculous how infected they are now. The last thing I wanted to buy was a regular bottle of American Crew shampoo. Half the reviews say it's fake. Half say 5 stars. There is no other seller. What do you do?
