In this week’s Fast Five video, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, A&M's Chad Lusk and Truett Horne join Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to debate:

- The significance of Walmart's new automated fulfillment centers
- Target's recent earnings warning
- Simon's new "National Outlet Shopping Day"
- Sam's Club charging regular old Sam's Club members for curbside pickup
- And Amazon trying to one-up Walmart with its own drone announcement this week

There's all that, plus racy review reads, fancy airport bottled water, and tacos with Kevin Durant.
