Waitrose Reviews

About me I left sixth form early because I wasn't happy, and wasn't studying what I enjoyed. As my mum had worked at John Lewis in Oxford St for 25 years, she highly recommended I work for the Partnership (which Waitrose is included in for those who don't know). As I was a bit depressed and lost it wasn't in my interest to find ...

Waitrose is a supermarket with stores nationwide in the United Kingdom. The company is part of John Lewis Partnership, so you can be assured that you will get the very best quality of service and products. There is 192 stores nationwide, so it is very likely that you will have one near you! My local store has ...

Until very recently, when a Tesco opened in my town, Waitrose was really the only decent place to do your food shopping. Waitrose is right up there with the big players like Tesco and Asda and does get it's fair market share. However, it is targetted at the upper end of the food market (it is owned by John Lewis) and this is reflected in the ...

Waitrose is a supermarket chain that until about 10 years ago I hadn't heard of, so I was surprised to discover that it had been in existence since 1904. The stores however are pre-dominantly in the South East of England in the London area and this is perhaps why I hadn't come across it until a day in Huntingdon! Waitrose is ...

I guess it could be said that Waitrose is at the top of the supermarket leagues, in terms of quality and range of foods provide. I actually shop more at Tescos but for experience I would rather shop at Waitrose. The only reason to shop at Waitrose would be for its high quality service rather than just for its food ...

Waitrose is really a pleasant place to shop. They have a reputation for being more expensive than Tesco, but personally I do not see a great difference, particularly when you take the good quality of Waitrose products into consideration. I visit more often the Waitrose close to my office, but I also go to the one which is not ...

If you are the kind of shopper who cares about where their food comes from, how it has been produced and what it contains then Waitrose is the store for you. Yes, their produce is that bit more expensive than Tesco, Asda etc. but I believe you get what you pay for! From the moment you walk in the store it is clear that a lot of the ...

I came to London as a student with very little money and I had to look for literally every penny I spent. I now have a good job and I earn a good salary, well above the National average. When I came to London, I learnt how to save money by shopping very cheaply, and I became a great buyser of many tesco value products and also visited ...

I think I’m getting old before my time, I don’t seem to be able to go shopping without getting incredibly irate! I do try and be patient but the smallest of things wind me up. I have however found a solution that has not only removed the dreaded chor of food shopping, it has actually made it enjoyable! Shock horror! My nearest Waitrose store is ...

our shopping mall used to house a Safeway's (remember them). They decided to renovate the whole mall. it took over 2 years during which time I was forced to shop elsewhere (including Sainsbury's and Tesco). Whilst waiting we knew that the space was going to be filled with a supermarket....Safeways got taken over by Morrison's. And then ...

Waitrose supermarket was originally confined to the south of England, but more recently stores have opened in Buxton, Wilmslow, Sandbach, Durham and Hexham as well as four in the West Midlands and two in Edinburgh. My experience of Waitrose is based mainly on the stores in Havant and Southsea, but I also shop in the Chichester branch from time to ...

WHO ARE THEY? Waitrose was founded by Wallace Waite, Arthur Rose and David Taylor who opened their small grocery store at 263 Acton Hill in West London in 1904. After the acquisition by the John Lewis Partnership of the Waitrose business in 1937, they became the food shops of the John Lewis group. Most are stand alone ...

This review will look at the employment side of Waitrose, for anyone out there possibly thinking about joining the company at any point in the near future. I've now worked at my local Waitrose for just shy of two years, and will be leaving, fingers crossed, to go to university in September this year. Although my job was quite ...

I'm slightly different to the other people who write opinions about Waitrose. I actually work there, but don't expect a typical biased review, after all the more people who shop there the larger my bonus is. For those that don't know Waitrose is a supermarket that thrives on top quality, they try desperatly to match prices ...

I've ordered off the internet via Sainsburies, via Tesco. I've had the wrong food sent to me. I've had the fun of spending ages to search for 'potnoodles' on their search engine when I should have searched for 'pot noodles' Basically I was fed up, fortunatly Waitrose came to the rescue, and it's so simple. ...

Waitrose directors: PLEASE build on in Banbury. Tesco and JS are not a patch on Waitrose! - Advantages: Cleanliness, Choice, Quality - Disadvantages: None in Banbury!, None in Banbury!, None in Banbury!

It had been quite a while since I had wandered into a Waitrose store. To be perfectly honest, I had always thought of Waitrose as being a slightly snooty, upmarket retail establishment, ridiculously expensive and frequented no doubt by Hyacinth Bucket types looking for exotic titbits for their next candlelight soiree. How wrong can one ...

The main reason that I prefer Waitrose over other supermarkets is the fact that it seems a lot less busy. Even when the car park is full to capacity there is still plenty of room to walk around the store without being bashed by other peoples trolleys. The queues are usually pretty small too. Although it has a reputation for being ...

If you go into Waitrose from now until the beginning of November they are doing a special offer on their own brand of cat food. I cannot always get into Waitrose so when my cats have their brand of food it is always a treat for them. At the moment they are selling 8 tins for the price of 6 which is pretty good. I have ...
