“So..the new Better than ever offer leaflet was delivered. This is just a way of not rewarding your loyal customers. We want to do our shopping and be rewarded simply every now and again for paying the prices that you charge. We don’t want to have to sign in every week to choose 50p off a pack of ham or carton of milk, can get that cheaper elsewhere anyway. I have better things to do with my time, then we are supposed to scan the code lol. It’s a shop not an airport. I might bother to check an offer and scan for a tv but not for 2 measly offers a week. We are loyal for the shopping experience. You are definitely excluding the elderly, those too busy to have to faff around and most of your customer base who aren’t young and tech savvy or tech bothered. Your average customer isn’t young. Still, You won’t need to give as many rewards now. What a waste of my time having a card. Honestly as a loyal customer for 45 years(and I am tech savvy)this is really poor show. Who dreams this stuff up. Just do the right thing by us all and don’t make this a boring chore.”

“The new customer offer is complicated and frankly not worth the bother. Instead of shopping regularly at my local store, whose staff I have got to know well since the place opened here in Sidcup, I shall just pop in to get the odd bottle of milk and maybe some porridge oats or goods that are marked down. A huge disappointment. Why introduce something without consulting the customers?”

“Having been a customer for many years for a weekly delivery. Since the order coming from South Woodford branch . 3 times in a matter of weeks no order arrived . No phone call . Having to ring a number of times to get through to a totally uninterested team . No proper explanation, with arriving at 10pm or next day . Waitrose you are absolute rubbish now . Customer service is nonexistent.”

“My first ever order was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions which I wholeheartedly except, what was unacceptable was they emailed me at 17.49 to inform me of the cancellation, the whole country new or the adverse weather conditions 48hrs prior, the items I ordered were for a birthday on the day of the delivery, if they had the smallest amount of consideration they could have sent me the email a lot earlier therefore giving me time to make other arrangements. I will never order with Waitrose again, I should have stuck with Tesco who I may add have been absolutely brilliant throughout the pandemic and beyond. Very bad show Waitrose you need to buck your ideas up regarding your customer service skills to come in line with leading supermarkets. If they had a zero star rating I would have opted for that, 1 star is far too good for you "A very angry customer"”

“I want to start a survey on what peoples thoughts and first impressions are about this Aberdeen Angus Minced Meat. £9-99 Kilo, but at the time of photo was on offer for £6-99 Kilo. 1) Does it look like Best Aberdeen Angus Minced Beef? 2) Would it give you confidence that your meal would be tasty? 3) Would you buy it? 4) If you were the Store Manager, would you have displayed it? 5) or am I being fussy on the quality of the Aberdeen Angus Minced Beef. And expecting too much for my money? The Store Manager believes all the above would be answered with a YES from the customers. I would appreciate your views so I can pass these on to the Store Manager and Head office. I’m a great believer in ‘ If we don’t complain, businesses will continue to lower their standards’ They become too complacent in their success.”

“love Waitrose, due to your brilliant coffee and paper offer it was in 2018.a no brainer.I could understand the removal of the coffee offer. But at a time pending severe inflation the sudden removal of the newspaper offer is going to hit a lot of your loyal customers really hard . The hardest hit of this measure will be largely elderly retired people. yours sincerely Tony Gilbert.”

“Hi management team, on 31st January 2022, I went in Balham Waitrose branch to do my food shopping and apparently I happen to see a suspicious shoplifter having 2 expensive Acholol in his hands. As no staff noticed the situation, I immediately told one of the staff about the suspicious customer. The member of staff I approached his name was Gary. And then I left the situation to him to deal with the matter and I carried on doing my shopping. Roughly about 15 minutes time Another a member of staff approached me saying thanks for helping us out saying if it wasn’t for you the shoplifter would of got away £70 worth of acholol. That member of staff her name was Marilyin. Sorry if I spelt her name wrong. Anyway she asked me do I drink acholol or I don’t. And my answer was yes I do drink acholol. And she kindly offered me a free bottle of SAN LEO VINO SPUMANTE PROSCECCO, Prodotto in Italia. Marilyin told me this a free Prosecco bottle reward from us to say thank you for telling us about the suspicious shoplifter. I like to give Gary and Marilyin 10 out of 10 great customers to me for giving me free Prosecco. Please on behalf me as a happy satisfied customer, I hope you management team can give Gary and Marilyin a reward aswell for excellent customers service and kind to help me for giving free Prosecco. My name is Dilesh Shah. Me customer name Dilesh Shah will recommend everyone to shop in Balham Waitrose branch and I will certainly for sure in future aswell. Me customer name Dilesh Shah like to give thumbs up to Balham Waitrose branch for excellent customer service 👍👍👍”

“I ordered a bouquet of flowers from Waitrose to be delivered to friends for a very special wedding anniversary. Unfortunately I put the wrong address! However the Delivery Driver called me and asked me to validate. I would like to thank Rob for his exemplary customer care a skills. He then called me again to let me know that my friends were home and they had been delivered. Without his initiative they would not have been delivered. Huge thanks Rob.”

“Completely rude and unhelpful customer service. Missed the delivery slot as the driver did not ring the bell, they called and by the time I was out nobody was there. Called customer service and only thing the woman did was repeating like a parrot “you need to rebook your slot” and then hang up without even letting me speak. Very rude”

“Waitrose Gardens online plant service - DO NOT USE . Sent a named Rose to a friend in memory of the loss of her mother , the Rose name being the important part it was delivered with no card naming or describing Rose so could be literally anything . Queried this with Nursery who stated can often happen and it was right rose they failed to understand the importance of the naming of the rose - shoddy lazy poor couldn’t care less attitude - who buys unlabelled goods !?!? I still don’t know if it’s the right one they were full of pathetic excuses 😡😡😡”

“I just wasted half an hour trying to order our Christmas fare for Xmas dinner...get to the checkout and can't pay without selecting a timeslot to collect food. NO timeslots available from now until Christmas! Same with delivery options. So all that lovely food only made it to my virtual trolley! Phoned the shop.... "nothing we can do because it's SO close to Christmas"....thought it was still November! Silly me.”

“Whilst I appreciate the thinking behind going bagless, it is a nightmare for people like us with limited mobility. Having to bend down and carry often heavy bags into the houses gives us pain which lasts for hours. One of us is clinically very vulnerable and we are not prepared to have people in the house. Reluctantly, I'm being driven back to Ocado.”

“I am a longtime waitrose customer, and the half shoulder of lamb which I bought was 75% fat which had been recommended by the man behind the meat counter, as he did not have any to sell at the counter. I brought the packaged lamb to him and he said it would be as good as the same that he would have sold on the counter. Just so glad, I hadn't invited any guests for Sunday lunch - tasteless and only enough for just over one serving. Will never risk it again.”

“I’ve been a regular Waitrose customer for many years. I only started having home deliveries during lockdown. It was great, always on time, cheerful drivers and only rarely we’re items substituted or unavailable. However, this new policy of not providing bags is rather ‘user-unfriendly’, standing on the doorstep having to transfer goods from crates to my own bags. Thankfully I haven’t had to do this in the rain yet! Also, I realize all stores are having supply problems, but so many items are being substituted and many are unavailable. For this downgrade in service we’re now expected to pay £3 for the pleasure! I don’t think so, I’m not Mrs Gullible. It’s a shame but I’m back to shopping in store from now on.”
