RedRob72 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 While this thread is glorious trolling, I still find myself wanting to argue about the order of supermarkets in the list on page 1. Serious business. Shame Carrefour never really managed to break into the UK Market.Even more unlikely for them to have another go now I guess!

Savage Henry Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 To steal a line from the Mighty Boosh, nobody does their weekly shop at Marks and Spencer's. You get your specials there. Perhaps your Christmas plonk and so forth. Can't compare them with your likes of Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Or when a guy pulled my shoulder and asked: Customer B: "Do you know if you have any sage" Myself: "Yes. We don't." I can see why you worked in Waitrose rather than a more upmarket establishment like Tesco.The correct answer would have been "Yes, I do know. No, we don't."Mixing your affirmative and negatives just isn't on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Waitrose is seriously, seriously overrated. You also have to deal with the other customers who think that they are something special because they can afford to spend 3 times the price on their tinned spaghetti hoops. The amount of sly digs you used to get from customers when I worked there was unreal. Customer A: "Do you have any gazpacho?" Customer A's wife: "Oh, I doubt he'll know what that is, we'll just keep looking" Myself: "Gazpacho? As in cold, soup? Yes, right over here, I actually had this in a small fishing village in Catalonia last year and it was fantastic". They wanted to do pretentious, I could do pretentious. Neither of them spoke as I pointed it out to them. Or when a guy pulled my shoulder and asked: Customer B: "Do you know if you have any sage" Myself: "Yes. We don't." Literally the only half decent thing is the bakery, and the selection of obscure posh juice. Anyway, getting back on topic, I think slow lanes for people with issues like that are a great idea. I also quite like Morrisons, Sainsbury's was class until they punted their vast meal deal options. Wouldn't all the soup in a supermarket still be cold anyway?

BallochSonsFan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Waitrose is OK. Their £10 curry deal is brilliant if it's on. Big problem is terrible use by dates. Really bad for them being really short. Some nice food though. And a good selection of beer.Wholefoods is superb. The butcher counter is surprisingly affordable for sausages and burgers. And the olives are good. Everything else though - painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foransbeard Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Perhaps its because you're a terrible teacher ? Would you not be able to ask your gran to write a shopping list and type it onto your Ipad ? The process of driving a car, parking, getting a trolley, driving the trolley, collecting the produce required, unloading onto a moving conveyor belt, engaging with the low-paid workers inane chat, packing, back into the trolley, reverse the car, home, unpact. To some might seem harder that getting the messages delivered. Can you understand ? Unpact wtf!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever been in a Waitrose once and it was during a weekend away with friends, I was walking around the store wearing joggers, some shoppers couldn't help but give me a dirty look and when i caught them at it i gave them my best Greggy Wallace smirk.

That doesn't surprise me one bit. I used to regularly get told to "keep an eye on" guys who had came from work in hi-vis jackets and builder's clothes, by the established Waitroseians.

There was a security guy lurking around iirc, probably had better things to do than follow around a couple of incredibly hungover lads trying to find meal deals and water tbh.
