Show Notes
In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five retail news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:
- Walmart’s bold and beautiful move to put BNPL via Affirm at self-checkout
- Amazon’s confounding decision to test an additional $9.99 per month fee on top of Amazon Prime for grocery delivery
- Why Macy’s shareholders should take a hard look at their buyout offer on the table
- Google’s second brilliant move over the last two months in search commerce
- And closed with a look at why CNBC may have gotten it right on the money when it questioned Target’s claims about theft
There’s all that, plus tastes we would rather eat than drink, DNA data storage, and an allusion to Vera Farmiga in The Departed saying why “honesty is not always synonymous with truth.”
