Fast Five | $400K Walmart Store Salaries, Surprising Self-Checkout Stats & Instacart Gamification

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, Shoptalk VP of Original Content & Strategy Ben Miller joined Chris and Anne to discuss:

• The rash of recent layoffs across retail and what they mean for how the average retail executive is thinking about 2024
• Walmart’s big announcement this week that its store managers can make over $400K per year
• Some absolutely startling statistics on self-checkout from Everseen’s survey of over 1 billion transactions
• Instacart’s desire to make your average grocery shopping trip feel more like Pokemon Go
• And closed with a look at whether TikTok’s attempt to make all its video content shoppable will actually work

There’s all that, plus Wizard of Oz favorites, Super Bowl vices, and the most unusual things to do while jogging.
