Walmart vs Amazon - The Worldwide Retail Champion Heavyweight Fight
By
Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer
Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of participating in a
Rethink Retail podcast with Bryan Gildenberg, Chief Knowledge Officer of
Retail, Sales & Shopper at WPP's Kantar Consulting and Paul Lewis, CMO of
digital transformation agency Valtech. With Julia Raymond moderating, the three
of us debated the growth strategies of Amazon and Walmart in their quest for
global retail leadership.
The lively discussions included our musings on Amazon's announcement of one-day
shipping, the value of the Amazon's Prime program, potential acquisition
strategies for growth, and the looming online grocery battles.
This post summarizes additional data insights not discussed in the podcast:

Canada facing same issue as U.S.
Shoplifting & petty-crime cases being "dropped outright"
Across Canada, people accused of petty crimes like shoplifting, minor assault
and fraud are walking free - because the justice system doesn't have time to
deal with their cases, as it struggles to move more serious crimes through the
courts. The president of Canadian Association of Crown Counsel says cases
involving less serious crimes are either being dropped outright or shunted
into restorative justice programs. He called it a regular occurrence, though
specific numbers weren't available.
The Retail Council of Canada is worried about shoplifting cases being dropped.
The council represents over 45,000 retail merchants across the country. "It's
really concerning for retailers, retailers of all sizes," said Jim Cormier the
council's Atlantic director. "The deterrent for theft and shoplifting in stores
is, of course, often that there can be legal consequences."
Last year, the retail council estimated that shoplifting accounts for up to $5
billion a year in losses for Canadian retailers. Cormier said shoplifting has an
awful impact on retailers, and if it happens enough, it will cut into a
company's profits. Stephen O'Keefe, a consultant who helps companies with loss
prevention, said it pains him when courts throw out shoplifting cases.
"When you have a company that experiences shrinkage in excess of their net
profit, they have to shut their doors. We've experienced that in Canada over
past years where we've had major brands, major retailers, who have closed
their doors because they can't absorb those shrinkage charges." To recoup
some of the costs associated with shoplifting, some retailers are forgoing
criminal court altogether and instead are taking their grievances with
shoplifters to civil court, said O'Keefe.

Security Industry's Top Themes
"The convergence of physical security and IT" & "Cybersecurity"
SSN News Poll: ISC West 2019's Top Two Themes
Were
With the remaining 18 percent saying "partnering and open architectures" was the
top theme.
When asked what the most exciting technologies and products were at this year's
show, respondents said "AI, machine learning and deep learning," at 53 percent,
and "cloud and biometric access solutions," at 42 percent, stole the show, while
the remaining 5 percent said "video/cameras and VMS platforms and solutions"
grabbed their attention most.
"The integration of IP technology, IT and Physical security now is a fact
and those who don't see it will soon become part of history. AI applications are
still somewhat fuzzy, but solutions are becoming real and will be a big part of
this industry in the future."
"From the perspective of a vendor offering a cloud based toolset for Security

Judge Blocks Shopko Bankruptcy Immunity Plan For
Executives
McKesson Claims Fraud Against Shopko Executives
A federal bankruptcy judge on Wednesday
denied Shopko's plan to liquidate in bankruptcy and distribute the proceeds
among creditors. The judge specifically took aim at liability releases in
the plan for company insiders that would protect them from legal action by
creditors. "I don't know where this case goes from here," Saladino said.
"We'll figure that out I guess as time goes on." Objecting to the plan was
pharmaceutical-maker McKesson, a major supplier to Shopko that says it was
owed nearly $70 million when the retailer filed for bankruptcy. An attorney
for McKesson said Wednesday at trial that the company has what it believes is
a fraud claim against Shopko executives under Wisconsin law.
Shopko on Monday announced its plans to liquidate, citing its inability to find
a buyer as the reasoning behind the decision, according to a
company press release.
Shopko, which is owned by private equity firm Sun Capital, originally declared
bankruptcy due to "excess debt and ongoing competitive pressures," according to
a
statement by the company in January.

Nevada: Governor Sisolak signs two criminal
justice reform bills into law
 Governor
Steve Sisolak signed two criminal justice reform bills into law Wednesday
afternoon in Carson City.
Assembly Bill 431 restores the right to vote for
anyone released from prison after being convicted of a felony.
For non-violent
offenders, their right to vote would be immediately restored. "When this bill
goes into effect on July 1 of this year, some 77,000 Nevadans will immediately
have their right to vote restored, because this bill is retroactive to apply to
individuals who have served their time, are walking free but still don't have
their civil rights restored," Sisolak said.
Along with signing AB431, Governor Sisolak signed
Assembly Bill 192. The bill,
known as the "Nevada Second Chance Act," would seal the records of anyone
convicted of a crime that was later decriminalized.
AB192 mainly relates to
crimes like marijuana possession. Anyone convicted of marijuana possession
before it was decriminalized can now request a court to seal any documents
relating to that arrest. The bill aims at making it easier for anyone finding it
difficult to get a job because of a criminal conviction that is no longer
considered criminal.

Michigan Senate proposes law banning facial
biometrics use by law enforcement
SB342 was introduced by Sen. Peter Lucido (R), which would impose a broad ban on
law enforcement officials obtaining, accessing, or using facial recognition
technology, or any information gathered with the technology. The bill defines
any such use as a violation of the Fourth Amendment, as well as section 11 or
Article I of the state constitution.
Secretary of State's Office said notice procedures for data sharing are being
considered. An MSP spokesperson said that facial recognition is never used to
positively identify a suspect, and that the new funds would be used to upgrade
the six-year-old algorithm for better speed and accuracy.
Industry groups have slammed San Francisco's decision to ban most
facial recognition use by law enforcement and government agencies in the
city, and a
proposed law to require notice of the use of public facial recognition in
Washington State failed to reach a vote in the lower state house by the deadline
last month.

Vaping linked to violence, property theft among teens in US: study
Puffing could be the gateway to delinquency. Teens who vape are more likely to
steal and commit violent crimes, according to a new study out of the University
of Texas and San Antonio.
The study,
published this month in the Journal of Criminal Justice, tracked a national
sample of US youths in the 8th and 10th grades - and found that those who vaped
were at an elevated risk for committing acts of violence and property theft.
(Those who vaped marijuana instead of smoking it were even more at risk for
criminal activities, researchers say.)

Why Violence Is Up in Pockets of Brooklyn
Over the Memorial Day weekend, one person was killed and 10 were wounded in six
separate shootings. And that was just in northern Brooklyn.
Citywide, violent crimes have dropped to record lows. But in some neighborhoods,
crime is stubbornly persistent. My colleague Ali Watkins
wrote about shootings in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and other parts
of northern Brooklyn, and what the police are doing to stop the violence.
In northern Brooklyn, there have been 11 more shootings so far this year than
there were a year ago. Over that same period, northern Queens had 10 additional
shootings and northern Manhattan had 16 more.
What is behind the violence?
One answer is access to guns. Though New York City's gun laws are restrictive,
other cities and states have looser regulations. For years, law enforcement
officials have complained about how guns illegally
flow into
New York with disturbing regularity.
Another answer is gangs.

Why businesses don’t report cybercrimes to law enforcement
Law enforcement agencies estimate the number of cybercrimes that go
unreported by businesses number in the millions. Here why and when you should
report breaches and other cyber attacks.
Companies are often compelled to report security incidents such as data breaches
to regulators. Companies in the UK, for example, will be legally obligated under
GDPR to inform the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if they suffer a
breach involving personal information of customers or employees. Similar
obligations exist under the likes of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) in the U.S. or the Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada.
However, no such compulsion exists when it comes to reporting cybercrime to law
enforcement, leading to agencies in both the UK and the U.S. warning of a
massive gap estimated to be in the millions between the
number of actual incidents and reported cyber crimes. Those
unreported incidents make it harder to justify allocating resources to
cybercrime units, which in turn limits agencies’ abilities to take down
cybercriminals.
Why don’t businesses report cybercrimes, and are the reasons behind their
reluctance justified?
Law enforcement agencies worldwide are rarely ever sure how many cybercrimes
are being committed. In the UK, the gap between the Office of National
Statistics’ annual crime survey and the number of crimes reported to Action
Fraud, the UK’s national fraud and cybercrime reporting center, has been in the
millions over recent years. A 2016 report by Barclays and the Institute of
Directors found only 28% of cyberattacks against businesses in the UK were
reported to the police.

Impersonation Attacks Up 67% for Corporate Inboxes
Email-based cyberattacks are going up, causing confidence in security defenses
to fall as businesses grapple with greater losses caused by email-borne
cyberattacks, researchers report.
The majority (94%) of organizations say they were hit with a phishing attack in
2018, researchers found, and 54% noticed an increase in the volume of phishing
attacks. Nearly half (45%) reported a rise in targeted spear-phishing emails
packing malicious links, and 53% suffered a ransomware attack that directly
affected business operations – up 26% from a year ago. Of the ransomware
victims, 86% say they experienced at least two days of downtime; three days was
the average.

Inside Apple’s top secret testing facilities where iPhone defenses
are forged in temperatures of -40C
In a huge room somewhere near Apple’s glistening new campus, highly advanced
machines are heating, cooling, pushing, shocking and otherwise abusing chips.
Those chips – the silicon that will power the iPhones and other Apple products
of the future – are being put through the most grueling and intense work of
their young and secretive lives. Throughout the room are hundreds of circuit
boards, into which those chips are wired – those hundreds of boards are placed
in hundreds of boxes, where these trying processes take place.
Those chips are here to see whether they can withstand whatever assault anyone
might try on them when they make their way out into the world. If they succeed
here, then they should succeed anywhere; that’s important, because if they fail
out in the world then so would Apple. These chips are the great line of defense
in a battle that Apple never stops fighting as it tries to keep users’ data
private.
It is a battle fought on many fronts: against the governments that want to read
users’ personal data; against the hackers who try to break into devices on their
behalf; against the other companies who have attacked Apple’s stringent privacy
policies. It has meant being taken to task both for failing to give up
information the US government says could aid the fighting of terrorism, and for
choosing to keep operating in China despite laws that force it to store private
data on systems that give the country’s government nearly unlimited access.

How adding ship from store helped improve Chico’s
inventory accuracy
Chico’s overhauled its back-end systems using Manhattan Associates for its
buy online pick up in store and ship-from-store capabilities. Stores now fulfill
10% of all online orders, and even more during the holidays, Chico’s said at the
Manhattan Momentum conference.
After roughly a year that included a hurricane and renegotiating its shipping
carrier contract, the apparel retailer successfully deployed buy online pickup
in store and ship-from-store capabilities chain-wide at its 600 Chico’s stores,
400 White House Black Market stores and 300 Soma lingerie stores in Q2 of 2019.
The goal of the project was to become a stronger omnichannel retailer,
Marcela Quintana, manager of omnichannel strategy and operations at Chico’s,
said at the Manhattan
Associates Momentum Conference in Phoenix in May. The retailer had an “old
and homegrown” back-end system, she said.
To do that, it first needed to build a foundation. In November 2017, Chico’s
embarked on this by enhancing its omnichannel operations. For example, it
started allowing shoppers to return online orders to a store and allowed store
associates to place an online order for a customer in store, such as when a
shopper needed an item in size or color that the store did not have.
However, to implement ship-from-store on a larger scale, the retailer needed to
expose its store inventory to its website shoppers, as ecommerce shoppers
only could see inventory that was available in its distribution center. This
required the retailer to marry its back-end systems. Chico’s already used
Manhattan Associates warehouse management and supply chain intelligence
services, and it added the vendor’s store inventory management, inventory
visibility and store fulfillment services and integrated them into one another.
Now, Chico’s has seven ecommerce, retail and back-end software systems—such as
its store point-of-sale system and customer service portal—flowing into
Manhattan Associate’s order management and store operations systems.
Now that Chico’s has all of these systems flowing through Manhattan, it has one
book of record for inventory, instead of four different places. After this,
Chico’s says its inventory accuracy increased by 15%.

What Do Amazon's Star Ratings Really Mean?
On Amazon, like
many ecommerce sites, buyers also leave star ratings for items, from one to
five. They’re important shorthand, symbolizing at a glance how people felt about
a certain item. They also serve as a convenient way to filter, rank, and manage
the
overwhelming amount of choice that is a hallmark of 21st-century living.
But Amazon’s little yellow luminaries are less straightforward than they appear.
Why does one product get 4.7 stars and another get 4.8? I know what you're
thinking: Louise, clearly these are just averages—take the total number of stars
and divide that by the number of reviews, and there you go. Just simple math!
But reader, that is not the case. While Amazon says these stars reflect the
“average customer review” of an item, the calculation behind them is more
complicated—and mysterious—than that.

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
3 charged in string of jewelry store robberies
across the western U.S.
Three Chilean nationals were charged Wednesday with committing a string of
jewelry store heists across the western United States. The three men are charged
in Davis County's 2nd District Court with engaging in a pattern of unlawful
activity and criminal mischief, second-degree felonies, and three counts of
attempted burglary, a class A misdemeanor. Police in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and
California have been working to catch this group.
"Their modus operandi is to cut the power to jewelry stores soon after the
stores close for the weekend. They then monitor the police response to the alarm
call at the jewelry store. Once the police determine it appears to be a false
alarm and leave the area, the group typically waits for the alarm system's
battery backup to die before forcing entry into the jewelry store," the charges
state. The trio has allegedly broken into jewelry stores by going through the
roof, through neighboring businesses, and through windows.

Milwaukee, WI: A brazen beauty store robbery in
Milwaukee was all caught on camera
Surveillance video showed three suspects attacked and maced Value Beauty
employees during the wild theft near Fond du Lac and Hampton Avenues Saturday,
April 18. It started with one female crouching behind the Value Beauty counter,
taking items off the wall. Another appeared to be the lookout. She was seen in
the video pulling something out of her pocket as an employee carrying a box
began to approach. The woman aimed and sprayed a cloud of what investigators
said was mace directly into the employee's face to buy more time. Back behind
the counter, another person climbed over, knocking down mannequin heads on her
way up. The hair snatching got more intense before the trio ran for the exit.
Store officials said the women made off with $1,000 worth of hair weaves.

started looking out for vehicles leaving the parking lot. When they couldn’t
come across the thief, they decided to have a look at surveillance video to see
if they could pinpoint the car she’d arrived in. They found it and were
surprised to see that it had not left the parking lot. When they approached the
vehicle, they saw that lid of the trunk was ajar and there was some movement
inside.

criminal mischief, and attempted robbery with a deadly weapon after police say
she assaulted the manager of a Burger King after another employee refused to
give her and her girlfriend free fries last month. Miami Dade County Police were
called to the fast food restaurant at around 4:50 p.m. April 2 after Bagley and
her girlfriend, Genesis Peguero, 27, reportedly entered the restaurant and
caused a disturbance minutes after an employee at the drive-thru window wouldn’t

Spokane, WA: Prolific robber gets 24 years for
2015 heists at Sally's Beauty stores
 A
convicted robber, who committed most of his crimes in King County, has been
sentenced to 24 years in prison after pleading guilty to a string of
Spokane-area crimes in 2015. Vance Bartley was charged three years ago with
three kidnapping charges and two counts of robbery. The charges were made in
connection with robberies at two Sally's Beauty locations in Spokane and Spokane
Valley. Investigators believe Bartley robbed the store and threatened to shoot
an employee if she didn't comply with his demands. He then tied her up with a
phone cord, took her phone and threatened to kill her if she called police.
Prior to his arrest for crimes in Spokane, Bartley was previously convicted of
six counts of robbery in King County.

Sometimes you have to lose in order to win long term. Picking your battles is an
art that many never acquire, but those that do are usually two steps ahead of
you. So while the loss may seem to set you back, regroup and focus two steps
ahead because that's where the winner of the last battle is. And remember always
lose with dignity and win with humility.
Just a Thought,
Gus
