## Resource

Welcome to Omni Talk's Retail Daily Minute, sponsored by Duvo and Mirakl . In today's Retail Daily Minute, Omni Talk's Chris Walton discusses: Target begins tracking unexcused absences and tardiness with a new points-based system launching this September, terminating workers who reach 12 points. Allstate partners with Macy's and Bloomingdale's to offer enhanced product protection plans at point of sale and online, covering furniture, fine jewelry, appliances, electronics, and more, with Allstate managing claims, repairs, and customer support end-to-end. Amazon expands its Alexa for Shopping feature to surface 30, 90, and 365-day price history natively on product detail pages, making price transparency conversational and fully contained within its own ecosystem.
