The majority of Home Depot's profit comes from builders, contractors, and business owners. Amazon cannot compete with the amount of lumber and building supplies that goes in and out of every store daily.

I see quite a bit of shoplifting at Home Depot. I find opened pkgs with product missing frequently. The theft protection carts will help with large thefts as will the locked cages. Most likely, people will still snag small expensive items without concern.
