- 8:30And
- 8:30so
- 8:30the

- 8:30I
- 8:30would

- 8:33maybe
- 8:33found
- 8:34that
- 8:34it
- 8:34was
- 8:34more
- 8:34complicated
- 8:35than
- 8:35they

- 8:38because
- 8:39it's

- 8:40process
- 8:40and
- 8:40what
- 8:40they're
- 8:40really
- 8:41doing
- 8:41is
- 8:42I
- 8:42think
- 8:42doubling
- 8:42down
- 8:43on
- 8:43automation
- 8:43as
- 8:44a
- 8:44key
- 8:44pillar
- 8:44for
- 8:45their
- 8:45growth
- 8:45by
- 8:46going
- 8:46to
- 8:46an
- 8:46industry
- 8:47leader
- 8:47in

- 8:48and
- 8:48saying

- 8:50large
- 8:51scale
- 8:51distribution
- 8:51centers
- 8:52to
- 8:52MFCs.
- 8:54And
- 8:54because
- 8:54it's
- 8:55obviously
- 8:55a
- 8:55key
- 8:55pillar
- 8:56for
- 8:56what
- 8:56they
- 8:56want
- 8:56to
- 8:56do
- 8:57particularly
- 8:57using
- 8:57their
- 8:58stores
- 8:58as
- 8:58fulfillment
- 8:59notes.
- 9:00Right.
- 9:01They
- 9:01haven't
- 9:01quite
- 9:01got
- 9:02that
- 9:02off
- 9:02the
- 9:02ground
- 9:02in
- 9:03the
- 9:03way
- 9:03that
- 9:03everybody
- 9:03was
- 9:04expecting.
- 9:05I
- 9:05think
- 9:05that
- 9:06it
- 9:06the
- 9:06structure
- 9:07of
- 9:07the
- 9:07deal
- 9:07is
- 9:08also
- 9:08very
- 9:08interesting.
- 9:09So
- 9:09it's
- 9:09being
- 9:09quoted
- 9:10as
- 9:10symbolic
- 9:11of
- 9:11bought
- 9:11it
- 9:11for
- 9:12$200
- 9:12million.
- 9:13But
- 9:13when
- 9:14you
- 9:14go
- 9:14below
- 9:14the
- 9:14surface
- 9:15Walmart
- 9:16are
- 9:16going
- 9:16to
- 9:16pay
- 9:16them
- 9:16500
- 9:17million.
- 9:17There's
- 9:18230
- 9:18million
- 9:19guaranteed
- 9:19at

- 9:20there's
- 9:20100
- 9:20stores
- 9:21that
- 9:21they're
- 9:21guaranteed.
- 9:21So
- 9:22it's
- 9:22a
- 9:22very
- 9:22low
- 9:23risk
- 9:23deal
- 9:23for
- 9:23Symbotic

- 9:26potential
- 9:27issues
