That's usually how it is in America too. Amazon started charging $1 if you took it to a courier office instead of a Whole Foods (Amazon-owned grocery store chain) if the Whole Foods was closer to you.
The thought of Amazon selling food too creeps me out so bad.
It's just a regular grocery store, albeit a rather expensive one. They give discounts for Prime members. In the back, there is an area where workers accept Amazon returns and you can also pick up orders there in the odd chance you would ever do that instead of having it delivered to your home at no extra cost...?
Edit: I remembered that some people might want packages delivered here if they're frequent victims of package theft
One reason you'd get something delivered to an Amazon locker or work or whole foods is if your home or apartment doesn't have a secure mail room.
