In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, Quorso, and Veloq, Chris and Anne discussed:

1. Instacart ending its controversial price testing program (Source)
2. Kroger launching a new discount program for SNAP recipients (Source)
3. Amazon integrating instant meal shopping into browser-based Alexa Plus (Source)
4. Save Mart placing Amazon Returns kiosks across 140+ stores (Source)
5. Schnucks seeing 100% success preventing gift card fraud with Digimarc (Source)
6. And Veloq CEO Richard McKenzie stopped by to give us five insightful minutes on how the Rohlik Group does E-commerce grocery profitably - and how they're bringing that technology to other grocers.

There's all that, plus LEGO smart bricks, toxic mom groups, five-gallon buckets of popcorn, and whether the Stranger Things finale needs a do-over.
