The online colossus opened an online pharmacy that allows customers to order medication or prescription refills and have them delivered to their front door in a couple of days.

.com: insulin and inhalers.

The big chains rely on their pharmacies for a steady flow of shoppers who may also grab a snack or shampoo or groceries on the way out. All have upped online services and touted their abilities to deliver prescriptions and other goods as the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed more consumers to stay home. But Amazon.com has mastered these things, and its online store is infinitely larger, with millions of loyal shoppers already buying books, TVs and just about anything else.

Its purchase of Whole Foods three years ago sent supermarket stocks spiraling, but many have been able to hold their own against Amazon, offering home delivery and curbside pickup of groceries. Most insurance is accepted, Amazon said. But Prime members who don't have insurance can also buy generic or brand name drugs from Amazon for a discount. They can also get discounts at 50,000 physical pharmacies around the country at Costco, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and other stores.

Amazon wants to get into the drug peddling trade.

No matter what people think about Amazon, this will save consumers money and likely means more people sign up for Amazon Prime's free delivery. And Amazon's total sales will go up along with the number of people visiting the site. Has to be a huge win for Amazon.

Here's your husbands Amyl nitrite. Um, thanks I guess.

But I can refill mine at Walmart and get it same day

Good grief. Now Big Brother owns our pharmaceuticals? Goodbye mom and pop pharmacies. You're the next victim of Amazon.
