Fast Five Video | Walmart’s Streamy Desires, Amazon Same-Day, & A Nightmare Before Christmas At Kohl’s

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Video, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Groceryshop, Chris Walton and Mezzenga:

• Question whether Walmart partnering with a streaming service will do anything to boost Walmart+ subscriptions (short answer: no)
• Blast Kohl’s for the hubris it is showing in its new self-pickup rollout
• Debate the merits of mall-based retailers using Amazon to fulfill same-day orders
• Call for an immediate halt to Walmart’s new “General Store” initiative out of respect for all the people at Walmart that were just laid off
• And close with a look at 7-Eleven’s reported acquisition of Skipcart

There’s all that, plus Roomba Cheez-It AI, 3-D printed food, and something the Brits call, “Pound Town.”
