Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now the show is happy to bring you. I'm
kissed about some respect midweek milk down, Emily. We're not
going to change the entire open. We're not time that
sucks about my own open. I know, but if we're
not a time for all that. Uh So, yes, Emily's

(00:24):
turn to tag in and rant and rave about something
that is bothering her. I'm fascinated. Usually you're just a
ray of sunshine.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't ever get hyped up.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Nothing really bothers you. I mean, is this around Robert?
Because I could see this being like a twenty minute
segment we.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Got I just started talking about something that Robert does
off the air after the last pick. I don't even
remember what it was because everything about the most everything
that he does bothers me. But I was like, oh,
I should have done a rant about Robert. So it's
not about Robert, Okay, it's I think I do that enough.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
The man doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
All right, what is bothering you?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
So you guys know obviously that I go to the
store all the time. I go to different stores, I
bounce around. I'm always going shopping or grocery shop for
dinner somewhere. Every day summer. But you guys know that
there's one place that's my main jam, and that is
the Walmart.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Of course, I love me.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I love the deals that you get there. I love
that it's very close to my house. I got it down, pat.
I can get in and out, actually in there pretty quick.
And the reason I can get in and out of
there really quick is because I'm extremely efficient.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wow, I'm a very efficient efficient.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Some might say that I'm not that efficient because I'm
going so often.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's exactly what I didn't want to you know, your
career here, You're right, I don't. I wasn't going to
get in there because.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
It's efficient and moving fast the same thing. I feel
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
If you're efficient, you bang it all out once. Yeah,
you don't go every day. That's a doesn't make any sense.
That's the least efficient way.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I disagree.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
I think she thinks she's efficient just because she moves fast.
But then we hear she forgets things. And then, like
you said, now.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
She's a lot of times I've heard her say, oh,
I'm moving too fast.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yep, I do do that, but that's that's not.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And since I go so often, obviously I noticed things
We talk about them sometimes here on the show, but
I'm really excited to sit here and just get it
all out in one shot. So when you walk into
your Walmart, there's somebody that's standing there every freaking time.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, it's the greeter.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I have yet to ever come across a greeterer that
actually gave an f about greeting me lost the time,
and I'm on there all the time. You guys, Yeah,
they're looking down at their phone and that's what they do,
and that's sets the tone off bad. Put that guy
somewhere else in the store. We don't need him to
stand there. He's not making my day better. If he

(02:53):
were to give me a nice, joyous greeting, maybe that
might be lovely, but it never is that way. You're
standing in the front of a Walmart, you know nobody
cares about you want this.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I want a better great I want a.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Better I Actually, essentially, when it comes down to it,
I don't want the greeter at all.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I don't need you, don't need it.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I don't know me the greeter. I don't want somebody
bothering me when I'm walking into the.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Store by head down.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Somebody doesn't need it.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Right into the store. I don't want the greader, Okay, no,
I don't want to hug. I don't want any of
that at it. So that after you go through the greeter,
which sucks, then you get to the card area. The
card area obviously is where they keep all the cards
and you go to grab it. It's always an s
show every time. It's always there's so many people there.
The Walmart carts are the worst on planet Earth because
they're so old, they're all janky, they don't glide, We're well,

(03:36):
they're always a pain in the butt to get out,
you know, they're always locked in.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
This is just your store, are you are? Generally all Walmarts.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Generally all Walmarts that I've ever been to are like Okay,
So when I go to the one by work, sometimes
I go to the one at Claremont sometimes. So I'm
going a bunch of different Walmarts and this is what
I found. And I even go on Instagram and there's
stories about people having problems with the carts.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
But the problem is is the people using the carts.
The people use the carts.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay, fine, it's a little bit of a pain in
the butt to get off and get out right. But
here's the problem. They barely get it out, and then
they decide to load up their cart with their purse
and do the cleaning wipe, and then they're getting their
kids situated in the shopping cart. And they're doing all
of this instead of grabbing your cart, get the hell over,
move to the side, and then set yourself up for

(04:21):
your shopping trip. But instead they're blocking the area. I'm
getting hot.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
She's taking her jacket off. This two guns out.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
They're not guns, they're guns, they're not guns. No, I
can't my platform. Get the hell over, get situated so
other people can access the carts.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I can't even imagine how impatient you are standing there.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
A lady literally situated two children in the cart. It
took like five minutes. Five minutes, it.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Was longer than that. Okay, so then we got that
going on.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
All right.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Now here we go, we're on our shopping trip, and that's.
Everything's fine and dandy until you get to the aisles.
And the aisles are always in a show. Once again
at Walmart. It's because people don't know how to move over.
Another same problem, but in a different spot. That is
annoy They're like standing there and say they're looking for
a different at the different ketchup or whatever. But their cart,
instead of being pulled over to the side, is almost
like facing like the wrong way, so it's vertical or whatever.

(05:14):
So they blocking the cart, and then there's another person
doing the same thing. So it's like a freaking maze
getting through there.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I have you noticed this? When you I know you're
you're pretty polite. If you go go excuse me, they
get annoyed with you, yes, like like when they move
it like, ugh, like what am I supposed to do?
I mean, I can't get around you.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I don't think I'm the problem, right, Okay, you're the problem.
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Thank you for saying that, lady. Then we have the
people that work there. It's the employees. This is like
happening more and more where they're loading up. They don't
have carts. They have these like big things of like
twenty different crates for the online orders, and they're always
doing it. It's always right in my way, and it's
just so cumbersome and it's so in the way. So
that is just frustrating. I don't know how they can

(05:56):
make that better. But they got to figure it out
because I'm okay. Then another thing that's awful, and this
happens at lots of different stores, is when I want
to go get something and it's always freaking locked up. Now,
back in the day, it was just very expensive detertion
and it was maybe expensive batteries. Now I went to
go get vizing for three dollars and it was locked up,
and then you cross the button and you wait and Walmart,

(06:16):
to be honest, sorry, not sorry, is the freaking worst
everyone I've ever been to with. They take forever to
come and I'm ringing the bell. I'm ringing the bell
a zillion different times, and it's horrific.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Wow, that that does sucking hard being me at Walmart.
I can tell, especially because you want to move fast.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I want to move fast. I want to move efficiently at.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
And clearly she can't see because she makes the vizing,
So what she gonna do?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Thank you for saying that, sky My eyes are drying up.
It's horrible.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Man.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Oh, I don't think that's what, don't I don't think
that's what goes through so much. I don't okay, I
don't think that's okay, Okay, alright, anyway, next we finally
get ourselves to the checkout counter, and that's when this
is probably drives me.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, it's absolutely horrific.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
I pride myself from the way I load my groceries
on the conveyor belt.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I do it very efficiently.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Cans first, the heaviest stuff because it's going to go
in first, all that other stuff. But the person in
front of me, I don't know what the hell they're doing.
It's always like this. They'll put like one to two cans,
and then they'll leave like a foot of space and
then put two more groceries and then so they're taking
up the whole conveyor belt. When if they were to
put their stuff at the front where they are and
packed it all in, then I could have already loaded

(07:27):
up half my groceries while I'm sitting there waiting for
them to check out.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
It's so ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Look around, people, Look at there's other human beings around you,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's awful.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
This is a very specific you want to get people.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
She's moving fast, it's gotta go. I'm not, and then
this might be like one of my worst things ever.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
And I'm bagging my stuff up so I'm over to
the far right because I'm loading stuff up into my cart.
The person behind me, though, takes the time to push
their cart forward, so they are basically blocking the entire
POS system, the place where the point of sale, if
you will, where you swipe your debit card.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Their carts happens.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Their cart's there almost every time. And so when I'm
they I'm not done yet. Clearly I haven't paid yet.
You have eyes, You have eyes, you see that. And
now I'm saying, my body's over to the right. I
can't get over your carts.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
In the way, don't you can't you see I need
to be in front of this thing. It's that's crazy
that would bother me.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Thank you for sing, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
And then finally walking out of the place.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, Walmart Costco, you got a long like line of
people to walk, you know, it's like everybody's walking. Yeah,
but nothing bothers me more when they're walking with a
family and they let their kids all stand next to them,
so there's like six deep horizontal blocking the way.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
When I want to go faster than you.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
So line your kids up behind you, in front of you,
or whoever you're with, Like you can't walk in a
war because I want to go around.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
You like like they're ducks, like they have to walk
in a straight line.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, when you're blocking the whole thing, I make my
son Reid go in front of me and back of me,
because it's the polite thing to do. Have some respect
for other people, Thank you very much. And my last
thing is what you understand at Walmarts? Now, you got
to show your receipt when you That's why they're always
so freaking surprised by this. Oh and then they're digging

(09:34):
in their purse word and I put my receipt word.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I put my receipt. Keep it in your hand. Okay,
I know you're going to show it.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
I don't go to Walmart as much as you. Maybe
I forgot, you know, I don't go every day, so
I don't have to show my receipt at the grocery store.
So I didn't. You know Target they don't make you suit.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Well, let this be a freakings a.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Wow. Do you feel better now? Okay? Really it was
cleansing for me last week when I did it. Yeah,
I felt better afterwards, better, I guess. I guess different
for everybody, for everybody Okay, that was weird al right,

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
