Fast Five | Walmart Knocks Amazon Off Its Search Perch & Target Rolls Out Starbucks Curbside

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne:- Questioned whether anything of note could be gleaned from reports that Walmart and others pushed Amazon to fourth place in Black Friday online searches.- Discussed whether the way Target has rolled out Starbucks curbside pickup is “Expect More, Pay Less” or really “Expect More, Pay More.”- Evaluated the likely reception of a slew of new AWS retail technology product launches. - Grew skeptical of Rite Aid’s ability to pull off a new small store concept in “pharmacy deserts.”- And closed with an all-time zinger from Anne about Macy’s new Claire’s shop-in-shops.There’s all that, plus champagne baths, drones going very awry in Australia, and the incredibly wise holograms of Sam Walton.Music by hooksounds.com
