Fast Five | Starbucks Curbside At Target, Amazon Go At Whole Foods, & DoorDash Brazenly Goes Rogue

In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga discuss: - All the new curbside drive up features Target is testing, including ordering Starbucks and taking returns. - Just how big of a leap forward Amazon putting its Just Walk Out technology into Whole Foods really is. - Why Foot Locker expressing concern over its dwindling Nike sales may just be a sign of more bad news to come. - How on earth Kroger entering another market virtually (without stores!!) received as little media coverage as it did this week. - And closed with our thoughts on DoorDash brazenly placing retailers on its marketplace without their knowledge. There's all that, plus Baby Banana Republic, Anne working herself into a lather, and our newest Omni Talk team member who is as Cozy As Fluff.
