In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Ownit AI, Avalara, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, Chris and Anne discussed:

• Starbucks offering delivery via DoorDash through the Starbucks app (Source)
• Amazon shutting down a secret fertility tracking project (Source)
• REI’s latest attempts to thwart “serial returners” (Source)
• Retailers, like Zara, experimenting with radio emitting threads to combat theft (Source)
• And closed with a look at whether we should all by into Marc Lore’s “super app for mealtime” hype coming off Wonder’s acquisition of Grubhub (Source)

There’s all that, plus Pepsi’s “Undercover Cups” campaign, weirdly hot Santas, and home for the summer stories of when Chris last donned a pair of rollerblades.
