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.
