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:

• The implications of this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Week data (Source)
• Walmart’s aggressive push into livestreaming, culminating with Dolly Parton live on Cyber Monday (Source)
• OpenAI’s evaluation of chatbot advertising (Source)
• Digimarc partnering with Picadeli to reduce price look up fraud at the salad bar (Source)
• And closed with a discussion on how the retail industry should view overseas marketplaces, aka “Digital Dollar Stores,” getting into the toys business (Source)

There’s all that, plus something called “Shrimp Jesus” and how often Anne gets a craving for Kraft Mac & Cheese.
