Fast Five | Chris Has Covid, Walmart Has RFID, & Why The WSJ Has It Wrong About Instant Delivery

In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga discuss: - Why Walmart's RFID push into home goods is already the front runner for the omnichannel retailing headline of 2022. - All the reasons to be skeptical about Walmart's new store design in Springdale, AR. - Albertsons' continued AI push, this time in its quest to reduce food waste in fresh produce with help from Afresh. - The pluses and minuses of Petco's new Lowe's shop-in-shop partnership. - And, why the WSJ missed out on relaying some key information in its article this week that questioned the profit position underlying the instant delivery trend. There's all that, plus a COVID update from Chris, Anne reminiscing about shipping her pants, drunk father-in-laws who lose their shoes at weddings, and more!
