I have been thinking about making a craigslist account just for "I buy stuff from amazon for Bitcoin for you" and offer fiat-Bitcoin and Bitcoin-fiat to people. Just to help adoption. No own profit incentive.
The main problem why I don't already do this is because I don't have the time or the liquidity. But if doing this is so close to something illegal (besides tax evasion) I really have to overthink this.

I was mulling doing the same with Costco. It'd be pretty easy to let friends and family run a tab, and make an app that tracks the tab. I was even going to do weekly free deliveries. Because I get 3% cash back from an "executive card", I could even undercut the retail price.

I had the same idea, basically a sam's club but with Bitcoin.
