Owning a generator is a good idea, but apparently, so is owning stock in generators.

6.  🛒 Sam’s Club Tests A Future Without Checkout Lines

Amazon Fresh couldn’t do it, but maybe Sam’s Club can? The Walmart-owned membership club is opening up its first all-digital store in Grapevine, Texas. The club, opening in mid-October, will require customers to use an app called Scan & Go to ring up purchases as they walk through the aisles in lieu of checkout lanes.

7.  🍰 Skimpflation Hits Whole Foods’ Cakes

Ask TikTok users how skimpflation is affecting them and they’ll probably tell you about Whole Foods’ iconic Berry Chantilly Cake. In late September, Whole Foods announced it was standardizing the cake across its more than 500 stores. But fans of the cake say it’s a variation of shrinkflation and inflation, with subtle tweaks to cut on costs.
