- 10:00But
- 10:00I
- 10:00think
- 10:01the
- 10:01more
- 10:01important
- 10:02mark
- 10:02on
- 10:02this
- 10:02regime
- 10:03is
- 10:03actually
- 10:03their
- 10:04digital
- 10:04performance.
- 10:05The
- 10:05fact
- 10:05that
- 10:05Their
- 10:06digital
- 10:06performance
- 10:06in
- 10:07the
- 10:07last
- 10:07quarter

- 10:084%.
- 10:09That
- 10:09is
- 10:09not
- 10:09even
- 10:09keeping
- 10:10pace
- 10:10with
- 10:10the
- 10:11market.
- 10:11And
- 10:12it's
- 10:12the
- 10:12same
- 10:12cast
- 10:13of
- 10:13characters,
- 10:14particularly

- 10:18still
- 10:19are
- 10:19responsible

- 10:19that.
- 10:20So
- 10:20that's
- 10:20why
- 10:20I
- 10:21question
- 10:21this
- 10:21move.
- 10:21It
- 10:21just
- 10:22doesn't
- 10:22seem
- 10:22to

- 10:22sense.
- 10:23And
- 10:23I
- 10:23100%
- 10:24agree,
- 10:24or

- 12:15make
- 12:15it
- 12:16look.
- 12:17That's
- 12:17absolutely
- 12:17no
- 12:17foundation
- 12:18for
- 12:18me
- 12:18to

- 13:35worse
- 13:35their
- 13:35customer
- 13:36experience
- 13:36had
- 13:36got
- 13:37during
- 13:37that

- 13:38from
- 13:38having
- 13:39that
- 13:39before
- 13:39and
- 13:39after
- 13:40contrast.
- 13:41One
- 13:42was
- 13:42Target
- 13:43and
- 13:43the
- 13:43other
- 13:43was
- 13:44Starbucks.
- 13:45Wow.
- 13:46And
- 13:47the
- 13:47in
- 13:48store
- 13:48standards
- 13:48of
- 13:48both
- 13:49had
- 13:49really
- 13:49deteriorated.
- 13:50And
- 13:50then
- 13:50from
- 13:50there
- 13:51they
- 13:51got
- 13:52worse.
- 13:52And
- 13:53I
- 13:53thought
- 13:54rather
- 13:54than
- 13:54being
- 13:54part
- 13:54of
- 13:55a
- 13:55gradual
- 13:55change,
- 13:55I
- 13:56got
- 13:56to
- 13:56see
- 13:56this
- 13:58quite
- 13:58upfront.
- 13:59And
- 13:59I
- 14:00guess
- 14:01what
- 14:02I'm
- 14:02pleased
- 14:02about
- 14:02is
- 14:03that
- 14:03both
- 14:03those
- 14:03retailers
- 14:04have
- 14:04recognized
- 14:04that
- 14:04they
- 14:05weren't
- 14:05serving
- 14:05their
- 14:06customers
- 14:06well
- 14:06enough.
- 14:07The
- 14:07situation
- 14:07had
- 14:08to
- 14:08get
- 14:08worse
- 14:08from
- 14:09there,
- 14:09but
- 14:10they're
- 14:11both
- 14:11turning
- 14:11around.
- 14:12So
- 14:12I
- 14:12guess
- 14:12to
- 14:12come
- 14:13back
- 14:13to
- 14:13the
- 14:13A
- 14:13and
- 14:13M
- 14:13question,
- 14:13I
- 14:14think
- 14:14Starbucks
- 14:14is
- 14:14a
- 14:15cautionary
- 14:15tale
- 14:16for
- 14:16us
- 14:16all
- 14:17about
- 14:17getting

- 14:18about
- 14:19an
- 14:19external
- 14:19hire.
- 14:22Turnarounds
- 14:22like
- 14:23this,
- 14:23right,
- 14:24Huge
- 14:24brands
- 14:25take
- 14:25time.
- 14:26They

- 40:41Yeah,

- 40:54an
- 40:54awareness
- 40:55action.
- 40:56So
- 40:56I
- 40:56mean
- 40:57firstly
- 40:57look,
- 40:57I
- 40:58think
- 40:58it's

- 40:58big
- 40:58signal
- 40:59that
- 40:59the
- 40:59Clara

- 41:01is
- 41:01working
- 41:01well
- 41:02and
- 41:03I
- 41:03think
- 41:03it's
- 41:03smart
- 41:03by
- 41:04Walmart
- 41:04because
- 41:04it's

- 49:25And
- 49:25there's
- 49:25more

- 49:26come.
- 49:26We've
- 49:26got
- 49:26a
- 49:26video
- 49:27on
- 49:27the
- 49:27way.
- 49:27But
- 49:28the
- 49:28stat
- 49:29that
- 49:29I'll
- 49:29leave
- 49:29you
- 49:29with

- 49:3018
- 49:30minutes.
- 49:31So
- 49:31when
- 49:31you're
- 49:31talking
- 49:32about
- 49:32ROI,
- 49:3318
- 49:34minutes
- 49:34is
- 49:35all
- 49:35it
- 49:35took.
- 49:36The
- 49:36store
- 49:36associate,
- 49:37Neela,
- 49:38the
- 49:38store
- 49:38manager,
- 49:39to
- 49:39do
- 49:39an
- 49:40entire
- 49:40store's
- 49:41worth
- 49:41of
- 49:41inventory
- 49:42in
- 49:4218
- 49:43minutes.
- 49:43Back
- 49:43of
- 49:44house,
- 49:44front
- 49:44of
- 49:44house.
- 49:45She
- 49:45knew
- 49:45exactly
- 49:46how
- 49:46many
- 49:46Units
- 49:47were
- 49:47in
- 49:47the,
- 49:47in
- 49:48the
- 49:48store
- 49:48at
- 49:48that
- 49:48time.
- 49:49What
- 49:50units?
- 49:50Maybe,
- 49:51you
- 49:51know,
- 49:51one
- 49:51tool
- 49:52versus
- 49:52another
- 49:53tool
- 49:53didn't
- 49:53connect.
- 49:54So
- 49:54with
- 49:54that
- 49:55platform,
- 49:55she's
- 49:55able
- 49:56to
- 49:56get
- 49:56that
- 49:56done.
- 49:57And
- 49:57the
- 49:57cost
- 49:58savings
- 49:58there,
- 49:58it
- 49:59would
- 49:59have
- 49:59taken
- 50:00multiple
- 50:00associates.
- 50:01It
- 50:01would
- 50:02have
- 50:02taken
- 50:02contractors
- 50:03in,
- 50:04they'd
- 50:04have
- 50:04to
- 50:04pay
- 50:05for,
- 50:05in
- 50:05addition
- 50:05to
- 50:06that
- 50:06to
- 50:06make
- 50:07that
- 50:07inventory
- 50:08happen.
- 50:09And
- 50:09it

- 50:09have
- 50:09only
- 50:10been
- 50:10done
- 50:10twice
- 50:10a
- 50:10year.
- 50:11So
- 50:11I
- 50:11think
- 50:11it's
- 50:11really
- 50:11important
- 50:12also
- 50:12to
