• Walmart Canada’s big store of the future reveal (Source: Canadian Grocer)
• Gopuff’s debut of “Powered by Gopuff” (Source: Chain Store Age)
• A NYC Chicken restaurant that has replaced its cashiers with Zoom (Source: 404 Media)
• Aldi retrofitting a store to become checkout-free with Grabango (Source: Chain Store Age)

• And A&M’s Chad Lusk stopped by for 5 Insightful Minutes on the state of U.S. consumer sentiment (Source: A&M CRG)

There’s all that, plus Oreos vs. Softbatch cookies, whether Chris would like to drive a cab more in NYC or Paris, and if Anne agrees with Chicagoans who despise putting ketchup on their hot dogs.
