“My word what has happened to Waitrose, been going down and down for along time now, but recently even worse, my partner went to main Putney branch and was followed round store, by sad store detective non stop, very bad experience, and was laughed and made fun of by store detective when he tried to complain to staff, was done to provoke reaction, and upset, so sad these people have nothing better to do, complained to head office, but nothing done, would we ever set foot again in this over rated and over priced supermarket again, no! Truly terrible, but this is one of many issues we have had from staff in this store, also issues with staff in Kings Rd Chelsea branch, so Waitrose you need to be employing people that are welcoming to customers, with people skills, and remember with out customers you won't have any supermarkets? So happy not to be using this terrible shop anymore!”

“My delivery this week: Carrots out of date the same evening. Haddock and braising steak both had to be eaten the following day Bread squashed How can anyone eat both meat and fish on the same day before it goes out of date. Non of these items would have been bought by anyone visiting the store. I then ring up to complain and I am told that whilst things are in date they remain on the self for pickers to pick until the end of that day and whilst Waitrose like to give several days on fresh meat and fish the pickers can’t look at every date but she would refund them for me. So I am now paying £3 per order for a picker that “can’t look at every date” to guarantee me several dates on my fresh meat and fish. The refund never appeared so I rang again to be told by a very pleasant young man that my call was logged that morning but the customer service assistant had failed to action the refund. This is not am isolated occurrence for me so is this the countrywide standard for Waitrose or am I just unlucky for my shopping being picked at a store that fails their standard? The delivery staff are excellent but I now feel that the stress of this weekly occurrence is becoming too stressful to continue shopping at Waitrose which is very sad as on the whole their food is good and I’m happy to pay slightly more for good food but all this is let down by sloppy attention by the pickers to the use by dates even though we now pay for our food to be picked.”

“I recently had to go into hospital. When my husband was shopping in our local Waitrose Addlestone, a member of staff enquired as to my whereabouts as it was unusual not to see me. When he explained I was in hospital the member of staff offered my husband a bouquet of flowers to give to me on behalf of Waitrose. A really lovely gesture and meant a lot to me. Thank you Waitrose Addlestone for cheering me up and I always enjoy shopping in this particular store.”

“After a lovely day out in Windsor with the family we needed milk so went in to Waitrose where i have been a customer for many years.They had our favourite wine on offer so without a thought added 12 bottles to the trolley. OOhhh,what a nightmare this became.The cashier(a young indian girl asked for the identity card of my stepdaughter & her fiancee(they are both in their early 30s) I was the one buying the wine, they were only waiting for me but this girl said if they din't show her their identities we couldn't buy the wine.Nearly left everything there and walked out but everyone was looking at us like we had stolen something. What can I say!!! Thank you Waitrose FOR ruin a lovely family day out,your cashier was rude,wouldn't listen to us and my stepdaughter & fiancee are going back to Spain beliving we were treated this badly because your cashier heard us talking in Spanish. After shopping in Waitrose all my life(having received flowers from Waitrose before xmas. I WILL BE AVOIDING WAITROSE FROM NOW ON, SPECIALLY THE ONE IN WINDSOR.”

“I have, on multiple occasions, complained to Waitrose about the false reviews on their wine products. Multiple reviews placed at the same time, all using the same vocabulary, all from first time reviewers, all giving the same products 5 stars. Waitrose send out the same response saying they have passed the matter onto the team, but nothing is ever done. If Waitrose cannot sort out obvious iffy postings then they shouldn't posting any! They can start by checking out the IP addresses of reviews submitted to eliminate multiple use by different email identities. Like most people, I would like to feel I can trust online reviews, especially when hosted by names like Waitrose, but clearly we can't.”

“forcing home shoppers to go bagless does not float my boat, thank fully there are much more enlightened providers out there that remain customer focussed and have solved the plastic issues themselves rather than punishing customers”

“Excellent Service”

“I have been A waitrose online customer for years and for the past few months the service appears to be getting worse and worse. Despite me paying for and requesting everything to be bagged most of my items are just placed in the trays. Things that are bagged are done so without any care meat is chucked in and last week the pack of chicken split leaking chicken juice over salad items which had to be thrown. The customer service team seem bored when you call and say yes the fulfilment centre is having problems .... over the last two weeks there have been over 18 items out of stock ...items that other supermarkets seem to have plenty of. I’ve alsays been loyal to waitrose but I’m not sure I’ll be using them for much longer with this appalling service.”

“I visited Waitrose Banbury store in July with my one year old daughter and whilst I was checking out my shopping she alarmingly picked up a bottle of commercial cleaning fluid which had been left by the Waitrose cleaners on the floor without a lid on. She took a swig before I could grab it from her, and we then spent 5 hours in A & E and she was very unwell for 2 weeks following the incident. It was a hugely upsetting and stressful situation for us as a family and Waitrose are refusing to apologise for their negligence or share any details from their alleged safety review following the incident. I have been left completely shocked at the way it has been handled by them, and on this basis would not recommend parents to take young children to the store as it is clearly not a safe environment.”

“As I hadn’t used Waitrose delivery for a few months , I had to do a security check. My iPad was playing up and so I went onto my phone. By mistake I paid for my groceries a day before delivery. I didn’t realise this and amended the order the day before the delivery, then went through checkout . I have lost over £100 and Waitrose deny any receipt of it. My bank insist that I paid a quick payment but the money has disappeared. I have told customer services, but absolutely, no response . I will never use Waitrose again . I am a 79 year old widow. . .”

“I have been a Waitrose customer for a long time, I used to get my shopping delivered from the Hexham Store which was always excellent, they then changed the boundaries and my shopping is now delivered from the Eldon Square Store. I must say the difference is unbelievable my products are regularly delivered either out of date/damaged or short shelf life I feel as if I am regularly complaining which to be honest puts you off wanting to shop at the store. Either pull your socks up or get a new Manager!!”

“Oh my goodness! Have tried to order a bouquet of flowers for friends after a lovely stay almost two weeks ago and am on my fourth attempt to order online. Always come up with a problem and when I cancel the order and start again, it comes up with the information I used at first which was incorrect. Tried customer services a few times but still no answer or any help. Going to a local florist!! Seems as if many people are experiencing difficulties in some shape or form, Thought service at Waitrose would be excellent. Seems I was wrong!”

“Longfield Store: Staff don’t apply social distancing and teach over your shoulder when shopping! Raised a complaint with the store who kept me waiting for 20 minutes, after a staff member directed me to a colleague to call a manager, who wasn’t available due to a management meeting, 20 minutes later she advise me she was a team leader who could help me! Contacted customer services who offered me flowers, chocolate or a bottle of wine, which I found an insult! Store Manager contacted me and rather than acknowledge and apologise for the experience I have had, made excuses on the lack of communication from her staff! Offer me a £15 Gift card that I declined! Customers are not clearly valued! As a Waitrose card holder, I normally shop at a competitor. Won’t be entice to shop at Waitrose going forward, with promotional voucher and pay more for your groceries, for the bad customer service you receive! Not what you expect from a brand like Waitrose!”

“Quality and prices are not compatible. Reduction is a misleading tool to push the sales with minimum discount. Some of the staff members are rude and ignorant. Poor customer service Should be reported to department who dealt with quality and price.”

“Order number:1013312517 Don't bother asking me to contact you or fill in ridiculous forms so you can 'look into things'. Just go away. I'm on the way to Aldi/Costco. They know what they're doing and don't waste their customers time. I will never use Waitrose again. Ordered x4 Tomahawk steaks for delivery on my birthday. I received a text saying 'George, your delivery driver will be with you in 15 mins". BBQ already on the go, awaiting the receipt of the steaks. No show an hour later. Angry? I couldn't put into non offensive text! Phone call (my time wasted) the next day....sorry, out of stock. Offered a £20 gift card....I'll be giving that away to some other poor sod who wants to waste their time with Waitrose. Why? Because I ordered click & collect instead, and just a few minutes before writing this review, had a phone call explaining my order had been cancelled again, an hour before it was due to be delivered! Why this angry though??? I'll tell you...because the Wife & I walked by plenty of them in Aldi & Costco just yesterday. Stuff you Waitrose. Aldi are better than you by a long stretch. You're all fur, and no knickers👋👋👋👋”
