Amazon Wants To Stop Selling Items It Can't Profit On

Description

According to Business Insider, Amazon has been rethinking its strategy around items it sells that it refers to internally as "CRaP", which stands for "Can't realize a profit." Some of these items include things bottles of water, paper towels, and snack foods, which on average are sold for less than $15. Amazon is now eliminating some of the unprofitable items and is working with its manufacturers or vendors to repackage items so they're more profitable to sell online. The move shows that Amazon is not afraid to "throw its weight around with vendors".
