“Waitrose delivery is the worst thing you can do!”

“We have shopped at Waitrose and Sainsburys for many years and the experience in both has been excellent. However, recently Waitrose at Handy Cross, High Wycombe has had a problem with badly smelling toilets. A further downer is that Waitrose have chosen to use newly designed grey labels with very small writing so that you either cannot find what you are looking for and give up, or you end up buying things that you did not want. For example the Deeside still and sparkling water labels are identical apart from one very small word lower down which I did not see, so I ended up with 6 bottles of still when my wife had asked for sparkling. Such a shame that one of the best supermarkets has gone so far downhill as a result of bad management.”

“Staff members especially in the morning the nightshift at Bracknell get treated like dirt by the managers every morning i’m surprised that they’ve got any nightshifts at all with the way they treat them.”

“Case Reference: 06786114 Chicken Breasts 100% out of date, beware their own products. Customer care couldnt care less about it, nor issue a refund for the products, Had better care at lower Tier marketstores.”

“Waitrose in Exeter started out okay. Unfortunately, they are now extremely below par. I have been discriminated against by members of their staff which is unacceptable - if you pay a premium price for your shopping, you expect customer service to also be of premium value I am also now bored with their products which hardly EVER change - the few new premium products that go into the Exeter store do not appear to last long. I contact Waitrose to ask why and they do not have an answer other than 'the product should be there' - and then their awful IT systems deem to ask me if 'the response was useful' - ummmmmm right. Further issues are ordering goods via their flowers/alcohol online site - they can't get their delivery dates correct, they throw in chocolates with mud from plants - then they cannot replace the chocolates covered in mud - apparently because the refund has to go to the gift purchaser - I cannot complain as a gift recipient. The staff at Exeter require training or dismissing - one or the other. The design of the Exeter store is atrocious - doors opposite each other, so the wind becoms like a hurricane when you walk in; no room to stop - they put everything in the doorways; papers, handhelds, customer service desk. All in all, there is now nothings that is pleasing about Waitrose other than I can but organic Kefir - they have already removed the organic raw sauerkraut - absolute rubbish”

“Spent over £100 at Waitrose @Aberystwyth and had to throw most of it away, the meat we bought was full of grease and when opened smelt terrible and was thrown away, the sausages were full of grease and tasted disgusting and their ready meals after one mouthful were binned as the taste was again not just bad but also disgusting. We are now going back to M&S.”

“Customer Service is shocking. It is not acceptable to wait in the store for 30 minutes for a Click & Collect order requested the day before, especially with no apology. Gave them another chance. Next visit, I was forced to move out around a member of staff heading towards me with my full basket and her empty handed. Then I asked if the Plenish milk had to be kept in the fridge before opening and I was told in a short manner that it was, that's why it's sold from the chiller. WRONG. As she was so rude I phoned Plenish myself. You DO NOT have to keep their milk in the fridge until it's opened. Sadly it is the middle aged women in the Sidmouth store who are astonishingly rude. I thought they would know better as I'm one and would never treat customers the way they do.”

“Way overpriced. Steaks are much smaller, thinner, and more expensive per weight unit than those sold by Tesco and Sainsbury's, while the fruit is of same quality as the other supermarkets, with barely anything organic, and the choice of cheeses is dire. Waitrose clearly plays on a false image of high quality in order to appeal to an educated middle class clientele, but it's all an illusion.”

“I bought two chicken legs fed on an omega 3 enriched diet. They were oven cooked on a bed of Mediterranean veg and finished off in a red wine and passata sauce. This is tried and tested for super tasty and tender legs. It was neither. Sauce was great. Legs were chewy and lacked much flavour. Very disappointed when you spend so much effort on preparation.”

“Just went into Waitrose and picked up some Pom bears for my screaming daughter and apparently you can only buy them with a children’s bag so Waitrose put them in the bag then rather than letting children see them, want them but can’t have them.”

“I'd like to comment on Waitrose 1 Perfectly Fruited Hot Cross Buns. In the absence of any other traditional hot cross buns in stock, I bought these, unnecessarily larger/two in a packet hot cross buns. Normally it is hard to go wrong with the traditional ones. However, these buns are severely lacking in fruit - is that perfectly fruited? - and very, very dry, with a nasty flavour. I will certainly not be buying again.”

“Why do you expect everyone to drink your free coffee on the move. I am disabled and find this idea discriminates against me. Also when I used the cup you have nsisted on providing it had a small hole at the top which allowed the coffee to spill out. I have cataracts in both eyes which are unfortunately inoperable due to my medical condition which could result in haemorage behind the eyes. My complaint is that when the coffee spilt on the floor I did not see it and was called a bloody nuisance by your staff . I spoke to your manager and the matter was resolved but I now have no alternative but to pay for my coffee at the restaurant. I am not poor and this is not a hardship but the principle is still irksome that your rules do not consider the needs of the disabled who cannot carry things around with them. A very disgruntled Waitrose shopper. My card number is 9210170778129237 and I am a good customer of Waitrose as is my daughter. I do think you should consider your policy's effect on the disabled. Yours sincerely, Mr C R Morris”

“I bought a punnet of fresh Waitrose raspberries. I started picking at them until I found a dead fly lurking underneath one of the raspberries. I contacted Waitrose customer service, after saying that they would investigate they took nearly 4 weeks to get back to me, only to say that they can't tell at what stage the fly got inside the box, as though that makes any difference! Flies, alive or dead, carry pathogens which, when they come into contact with food which is then ingested, can have devastating consequences on your health. No excuse!”

“Waitrose obviously did not consult with the elderly and those with physical disabilities when they decided to supply such ridiculously high chairs at their stores. In addition when I asked for help with the' carry out' service they refused to give me a piggy back!”
