In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five retail news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne:

• Discussed what really could be impacting shrink in light of NRF’s softening on its previously stated impact from Organized Retail Crime
• Disagreed about whether the world really needs Uber Store Pickup
• Lauded DoorDash for once again fortifying the strength of DashPass with its new Best Buy relationship
• Showed tempered enthusiasm for Walmart’s store of the future plans from their Canadian brethren up North
• And closed with a look at why in the world anyone also needs shoppable “TV” programming from Walmart called “Add to Heart”

There’s all that, plus gingerbread cannibalism, how long we could survive living in a grocery store, and Microsoft’s Jeff Strasser also stops by for 5 Insightful Minutes on Generative AI.
