Seen this way the Autozone, and every other capitalist enterprise with which working people interact, is a tool for using violence to extract labor from unwilling workers. In purely economic terms it's indistinguishable from a plantation powered by enslaved people. Yes, workers now aren't owned by a single capitalist, but their labor is owned by the whole class of capitalists. They can choose not to have this or that boss but, apart from some edge cases, they're not free to choose not to have a boss. Even if they work for themselves, because they have to shop at Autozone or the equivalent, a great deal of the money they earn goes to capitalists for doing nothing other than owning property inside a web of laws enforced by violence against the worker. An Autozone is not a neutral supplier of necessities, it's a weapon pointed at working people in order to exploit their forced labor.
