“Wedding anniversary today, obviously not too keen on going out, decided on buying a nice piece of pork and making a Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Purchased a pork loin joint and set to cooking. After nearly an hour and a half sampled it, hmm, bit chewy, give it a little longer... This was the worst, most tasteless, chewiest piece of meat we've eaten in years, we've wound up throwing almost half of it away, Just dreadful.”

“Did click and collect shopping at Waitrose Beaconsfield. Ordered Thursday, collected Saturday. Highly recommend this way of shopping. The staff managing the queue where really helpful, as well as sanitising each trolley and touch points. Staff at customer service/click and collect point really kind and helpful. I was in and out within 10 minutes. Brilliant. I always thought Waitrose was more expensive, but I got some really nice food at a very reasonable price by shopping the offers. Will do this again for sure.”

“Click and Collect.Witney. No sanitiser on entering or leaving store. Non of the staff wearing masks or gloves. No screens at Customer Service Desk, we had to get far too close to staff. When food brought, we had to lift each crate as we emptied it, but didn't know whether the handles had been cleaned. Non of this is good enough during Covid-19. We did not feel safe for our health. Will not use this badly thought out service again.”

“Very fatty sirloin steak delivered again today! Same as my previous order so fatty. I put a note on the order for the shopper asking for lean steaks as my last order were very fatty and no notice was taken. Bananas were badly bruised. Poor quality from Waitrose”

“Very organised during lockdown and lie that they clean the trollies before handing them to you. I also liked the fact that a staff member very politely advised a customer that they were purchasing to many restricted items.”

“Waitrose / Ocado are a must for online shopping especially for disabled people . The produce is of the finest and arrives in tiptop condition fresh fruit meat and vegetables are very fresh all produce is well within the sell by date and the delivery drivers are polite and extremely helpful . I have been using for several months and can honestly say I have had nothing to complain or send back a product .Their prices compare with other companies very well especially as it's the finest produce”

“I am disabled and use two walking sticks to get around. Went to my local waitrose and queued. About 5 people in front of me. Arrived at front of queue. The security beckoned another person waiting in the over 60's queue to go in. Another time I've waited behing 8/9 people. Only to have someone let in on front of me. This company simply doesn't care about disabled customers. I will be shopping elsewhere”

“We had an email saying we had priority delivery, but can't get a slot until next Tuesday, consequently I have to go to the shop and put my extremely vulnerable husband and myself at risk”

“Thank you to the young man who came to our rescue. We had been trying to get cartons of prune juice for ages. All other supermarkets either were always sold out or we were unable to get to talk to anyone on the telephone to check their stocks. I telephoned Waitrose and the telephone was answered immediately by a young man who was so helpful and sorted me out with the prune juice. He was so polite and could not have been more kind. A big thank you to this wonderful guy. Sadly I did not get his name but hope he reads this. My name is Mrs Clarke and was over the moon with the service we received.”

“Waitrose are the worst online grocers in "normal" times but during the COVID crisis it has excelled itself in terms of lack of service, availability and interest in customers. WAITROSE IS RUBBISH.”

“My very first on-line order last week - goods near use-by date in some cases not very fresh, especially oranges, and the packet of pepper and nutmeg chipolatas were mouldy. I e mailed my complaint and got a very impersonal reply, not even taking into account that I may be self-isolating, which I am! Quality of Waitrose has gone down in more ways than one!”

“I have been a weekly shopper with Waitrose and a loyal John Lewis customer for years. This will no longer be the case after my recent experiences of shopping at Waitrose. It has taken much longer to respond to in-store precautions than other supermarkets and its sanitising procedures are still well short of reasonable expectation. The staff, drafted in from other stores, are often rude and intimidating. While appreciating the pressures created by the current situation, there is absolutely no justification for this and the contrast with the pleasant attitude of staff in other supermarkets is very marked. Frequent emails are full of empty promises about the availability of delivery slots, especially for older, vulnerable customers causing huge anxiety for my 86 year old house-bound mother. On the one occasion when I was able to book a click and collect slot (obtaining a home delivery is impossible), the number of inappropriate substitutions and unavailable items made it a pretty useless endeavour. Waitrose seems to be living off a reputation which is now quite undeserved.”

“Waitrose gives priority slots to those on the Government’s vulnerable list, which excludes disabled shoppers. I am over 70, live alone and cannot walk. Although I have shopped with Waitrose online for years, I can no longer get an online shop, as I am not on the Government’s vulnerable list. When I rang Waitrose to enquire about priority shopping I was told I would be contacted by Waitrose as I should qualify on the basis of age alone. I have received no communication, nor is there any provision for age details in their registration section. Surely it would be easier and safer – rather than depending on volunteers - to allow disabled and the elderly online slots also and give some consideration to those for whom it Is physically impossible to get to the shops, alongside those on the Government’s list – who already qualify for assistance on the basis that contracting Covid 19 would pose a greater health risk.”

“Why is Waitrose giving their customers completely wrong information for Click & Collect from their stores? They are measuring the distance from the account holder's postcode to the shop "as the crow flies" ... not as the road takes you, which is careless in the extreme!”

“I would like to chance to make a comment on your home delivery. I have been a loyal customer of both Waitrose and John Lewis for over 20 years. I am lead to believe they are sorting out elderly customers from their data base. Rubbish, I have been trying to book a slot for over 2 weeks, their data base should have shown them that I have not shopped inn store for over 3 weeks but no contact has been made. When do they return the loyalty back for having shopped with them for so long. Very disappointed and disheartened with Waitrose. I wouldn't mind if I could get to talk to anyone but all communication ends in the same email replied and no answer on the phone. My husband in the the 12 weeks isolation group along with my mother who is 84 and lives alone, so am not happy to go out. What I am suppose to do.”
