In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five retail news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Wiliot, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne were live from Manifest as they discussed:

Amazon’s new AI-assistant Rufus
Grabango’s large scale autonomous store installation with Aldi near Chicago
Gap Inc.’s hiring of Zac Posen
Lowe’s and J. Crew's recent Apple Vision Pro endeavors
And closed with a look at Starbucks new late night delivery partnership with Gopuff

There’s all that, plus delivery memories, barracudas, and what Anne would make her husband do if she could control him via an implanted chip in his brain.
