Fast Five | Walmart’s Curbside Overreach, Sephora’s Same-Day Subscription, & Kroger’s New E-Cart

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne go deep on: - Walmart’s (quite aggressive) plans to roll out curbside returns to all stores for the holidays - Sephora’s new $49 same-day delivery subscription and the bad news it bodes for Instacart - Kroger’s latest e-cart pilot with BrightDrop that leverages a moveable cart for self-service order pickup - Trigo’s new EasyStock platform which is a smart way for retailers to dip their toes into the coming computer vision world - And closed with a look at IKEA’s new partnership with Tesco that allows customers to pick up their IKEA goods within Tesco’s parking lots There’s all that, plus Trader Joe’s hoarding, the best food to fry in an air fryer, and where “No, I am your father” ranks in a list of all-time great movie quotes.
