In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:

- Whether Enerbase’s pilot of Amazon One in three North Dakota stores indicates that palm payment is ready to cross the chasm of consumer adoption
- What to make of reports that advertisers are pulling back spend on Pinterest
- The stroke of merchandising genius that is Amazon Pet Day with Dolly Parton
