Fast Five | What Happens When Best Buy Tells Roku Your Buffalo Wings Aren’t Actually Wings At All?
In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:
- How crazy it is to think that our first-party shopping data at Best Buy is that valuable to Roku
- Rewe’s now fourth and largest autonomous grocery store, powered by Trigo
- H-E-B’s new partnership with Thumbtack that offers their grocery shoppers a range of additional household services
- Meijer making Flashfood work for SNAP recipients
- And why we both think Apple’s new “Shop with a Specialist over Video” won’t just be the way we purchase iPhones going forward
There’s all that, plus bad German accents, Anne’s love of butter, and the degree to which we should all be disturbed from knowing that boneless buffalo wings aren’t actually wings at all.

Fast Five | Amazon Go’s Pull Back, Dollar Tree’s Grocery Push & The Walmart Doctor Will See You Now
In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:
– All there is to love about Walmart’s plan to double its health centers by 2024.
– Why Amazon’s Just Walk Out tech, in the wake of more Amazon Go store closures, may be forever relegated to licensing opportunities.
– Dollar Tree’s sure-to-win large scale push into grocery.
– The scale efficiencies of Uber’s new “Shop and Pay” concept.
– And closed with a look at a new digital marketplace, Shef, that makes it easy for anyone to test the waters of becoming an actual chef.
There’s all that, plus Anne’s 82 insect bites, Blue Steel gazes, and the body part I would most likely pierce (and the answer may just surprise you).
