I actually visited the original store in Seattle back when it was just a proof of concept thing. The order was 100% correct, but I still worry about the possible ramifications for other businesses and consumers.
This is my main issue for consumers. I'll need to check the receipt every time I leave and that's a pain. If anyone noticed it would just be dubbed "an accident" with a refund.
Amazon in general has been growing so much that I believe it may need to be broken up into smaller companies. They're in retail, entertainment, server management, manufacturing, grocery delivery, and now grocery stores? And that's only off the top of my head. They've squashed competition from so many small businesses. I know they're looking to expand further into pharmaceuticals, and I'm sure that industry won't take kindly to Amazon stepping on their toes.

Surely Amazon could add an item in maybe 1 in 30 customers to their bill, small enough so the customer maybe very rarely notice, and in turn could generate Amazon millions.
