30+ years in #Retail…. how things have changed.
Back then:
- You called an Employee to come in on their day off, they would be there even if there taxi ride made them lose money…and no Uber wasn’t available.
- A handshake was the commitment towards getting things done and not having to write a plan.
- Letting the #Employee know that their performance is below par, you didn’t have to sugar coat it and got straight to the point.
- If something had to be said it was said in the moment and not 2 days later because you had to think of the best way to say it without hurting someones feelings.
- There was no sense of individual entitlement but a call to get things done as a Team.
- No one left their job incomplete hoping for someone to take it over.
- Human Resources was the last resort and not the first as it is today.
- No smartphones. Enough said.
- Cough, Cough your Boss may have invited you to there office on Friday afternoon to share a shot to get the weekend started…and guess what? No one got hurt.
You may or may not agree with the above.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
