Fast Five | Walmart Radio, Amazon Prime Mobile, ChatGPT Search & The Great Petco Baby Debate Of 2023

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: - Lauded Amazon for courting mobile carriers to offer potentially free phone service as part of Amazon Prime. - Were split like a pair of too tight pants over the idea of in-store ads via Walmart radio. - Had a more cordial than usual kerfuffle over Anne’s claim that Petco’s new flagship store should be an inspiration for the baby industry. - Saluted Foxtrot for opening up its biggest store yet in, you guessed it, Texas. - And closed with a look at why Instacart using ChatGPT for search could be a big moment in the history of retail. There’s all that, plus Anne’s high school drive-in memories, “stroke”-iversaries, and synonyms for the word "orgy." Register for Groceryshop at www.groceryshop.com/omnitalk Music by hooksounds.com
