Fast Five Video | DoorDash Pays By The Hour, Mr. Smith Targets Marketplaces & Amazon Go Is As Good As Gone

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Anne and Chris:

• Discussed why the new INFORM legislation to curb organized retail theft is a necessary first step but nowhere near enough
• Questioned the veracity of the report that Amazon is interested in acquiring Ocado
• Highlighted why Amazon Go as a store concept had a flawed experimentation plan from the get-go
• Predicted what the ramifications of DoorDash going to guaranteed hourly pay would be on retail store operators
• And closed with a look at why Dollar Tree’s decision to expand its assortment and pricing tiers is a gosh darn no brainer

There’s all that, plus Jack in the Box tacos, first dates, and the favorite fictional homes from their youth that Chris and Anne would most like to see on Airbnb.
