The local Waitrose has introduced some automated checkouts, last time
I was invited to use one I told them, if I wanted that sort of service
I would be shopping at Tesco.

I think it would sound better if you said "Asda", ...


Or Morrisons.


IMHO Morrisons are much better than poncy, over priced, nancy boy Waitrose.

Waitrose is full of Malcolm & Cressida Wright-Prat types.

Morrisons seem to have gone on a roller coaster since the arrived here
(taking over the Safeway). Better in lots of ways - followed by
deterioration. Repeat.

Most recently they have changed all the fruit and veg section and have
fancy misting systems, etc. Trouble is, their stock management seems to
have been entirely missed and simply fail to have what I want!

Waitrose is a mixed bag - some things good, some no better than anywhere
else, and often (but not always) more expensive than anywhere else when
the item is not sold by Tesco!
