Fast Five | TikTok Shop, Kroger’s Sudden Pause & Why IKEA Shouldn’t Have Listened To Its Customers

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 discuss:

Which innovation we like better – Walmart late night delivery or delivery from Walmart via text?
All the possible reasons why Kroger would pause its automated microfulfillment expansion plans
IKEA’s recent declaration that its customers miss the seventh circle of hell maze-like design of its stores
The operational efficiency gains Couche-Tard is seeing from Mashgin’s computer vision platform
And closed with a look at the launch of TikTok Shop and what it could mean for retailers and brands within the social commerce landscape

There's all that, plus AI generated Coke, Kendra Scott jewelry, and whether a bean is also an orb.
