Amazon has declared war on dollar stores — and your neighborhood shops may be next. Tony Chapman joins to break down “Amazon Hall,” the retail giant’s latest move to dominate the discount market with under-$25 impulse buys. But behind the flash deals lies a bigger question: are we trading away real-world retail, community, and sustainability for convenience?

From Black Friday manipulations to algorithm-fueled shopping urges, this episode pulls back the curtain on modern marketing tricks and the creeping cultural cost of getting what you want fast.
