Fast Five | A Walmart Innovation Alert, Something Called A Freeosk & Amazon ID Verification

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne: – Were conflicted, yet optimistic, about Walmart’s new microfulfillment center inside of an Arkansas store – Decidedly split in their opinion about Wakefern’s new Freeosk take on in-store sampling – Agreed on the long-term significance of Uber debuting group buying for groceries – Lapped up Walmart adding free virtual veterinary visits to its Walmart+ membership – And, finally, already started jonesing for the day when they can pay for everything with their palms, including alcohol via Amazon’s new age verification system There’s all that, plus Pipedreams, marriage proposals aboard superyachts, and the oh so important disclaimer that, yes, Anne and Chris indeed do all their own stunts for their podcast.
