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:
– Lauded Amazon for courting mobile carriers to offer potentially free phone service as part of Amazon Prime.
– Were split like a pair of too tight pants over the idea of in-store ads via Walmart radio.
– Had a more cordial than usual kerfuffle over Anne’s claim that Petco’s new flagship store should be an inspiration for the baby industry.
– Saluted Foxtrot for opening up its biggest store yet in, you guessed it, Texas.
– And closed with a look at why Instacart using ChatGPT for search could be a big moment in the history of retail.
There’s all that, plus Anne’s high school drive-in memories, “stroke”-iversaries, and synonyms for the word “orgy.”
