In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Ownit AI, Avalara, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, Chris and Anne discussed:

• Walmart opening up hosted U.S. fulfillment for Chinese goods (Source)
• Chick-fil-A opening a new “elevated” store with not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 drive thru lanes! (Source)
• Amazon allowing its FBA sellers to ditch taking physical returns (Source)
• The ongoing subscription wars between Amazon and Walmart, prompted by Amazon’s new grocery delivery subscription and Walmart+’s new Burger King perk (Amazon Source and Walmart Source)
• And they closed, as one always should, with ice cream, and a look at Unilever’s unique use of AI inside the freezer (Source)

There’s all that, plus at-home remedies they regret trying, their favorite Oasis songs, and the meaning of the word, “skibidi.”
