Don't bother with their Bakewell tart - its mostly just pastry and poor quality Bakewell with hardly any taste at all

Waitrose in North Finchley. Went there this morning to get few things. Anyway I had a chat with lovely girl. They all are lovely. Told her about my birthday on Thursday. And wait. I was just leaving the store. She came with beautiful flowers as a present from Waitrose. I was so shocked nicly. I can explain how touched I have been I love Waitrose but didn't know that they love me as well. Thank you ❤️♥️♥️

I wanted to order 12 boxes of Waitrose Summer Rose, Lemon & Sherbert Cupcakes. & 6 boxes Waitrose Chocolate Cupcakes from my local store for a birthday party in 1 weeks time. I was flabergasted to be told this could not be done. Why would any business turn down such an order. Scared to try Click and collect because I assume they would just select from stock on the shelves and there would not be enough

I've been an online delivery customer of this company for eight years. In all of that time Waitrose has never bothered to connect up their stock system with their website. Result? You sometimes don't get the product(s) you ordered. In the last two to three years that regularity of having items missing has increased. So I'm coerced into setting 'substitution items'; something i'd have in place of an item that's missing. Then they decided to charge £3 for delivery. The pickers used to have some intelligence i.e. a missing lettuce would be replaced with an iceberg lettuce. Then last week they delivered my order, minus SIXTEEN bottles of ale i'd ordered for a bbq. 16. NO substitution was offered (they do single bottles and cans), but they substituted the lettuce! Then i find Waitrose have CLEARED all the substituion data i'd entered; no indication / apology. And no apology or follow up from the missing ales. This is about complete lack of customer service. And saving their money. Well, you won't be getting any of mine in the near future. Adios Waitrose.

Disgraceful on line shopping from Enfield warehouse I went to open my potatoes to roast and my fingers just slide straight into mushy potatoes that had a 4 day expiry date. I phoned immediately fuming aswell I got a refund and apology but no voucher for the inconvenience of now having no potatoes for 2 weeks as I do fortnightly shopping. What is up with all these chain supermarkets. They are happy to rip you off and grab your money but no longer give you a 5 or 10 pounds voucher as an incentive to come back. Well that ships sailed I'm going to my local butchers farmers and locally sourced vegetables. I did a couple months ago and the tomatoes were huge and really tasty I should have learnt but I definitely have now. Next year I start to grow my own vegetables fed up with rip off Britain and lack of care from customer services. I think they get a pay incentive not to give out vouchers in my honest opinion.

My son has been going to waitrose recently and quite often they have been giving him free things even after my son had insisted to pay even offering him a drink with his sandwich and snacks being quite talkative,nice and tolerant. Definitely amazing quality food a place you have to go.

TEMPORAMENTAL 'Quick Check' Handsets!! On Several Occasions, seemingly every other time I shop in Waitrose, the 'Quick Check' Handset I have been given decides to 'throw a wobbly'. Sometimes, as I am logging my shopping, the 'Quick Check' Handset decides not to recognise the item, at other times the handset doesn't recognise the advertised in store discount, on one occasion, half way through my shopping, the handset died and had to be replaced (fortunately my shopping was logged onto the replacement handset), I often have to ensure that shopping is logged even when the handset makes noises to the effect that it has recorded my shopping only to discover that the temperamental device has not recorded the item and I have to re-input it. On one occasion I logged an item into the 'Quick Check' Handset only for the 'Quick Set' handset to reject it, I then re-logged the item on the handset which it accepted, I checked the basket to make sure! When I proceeded to the self-checkout, the self-checkout did not recognise the shopping in my handset, an assistant was called and after some time she managed to get the self-checkout to recognise my shopping, not for the first time, except for the one item which had been previously rejected by the 'Quick Check' handset and which I had made sure was listed in the basket of goods when I re-logged the item! The assistant was very helpful and apologetic, I surmise this may be a regular occurrence! Either Waitrose 'Quick Check' handsets are not fit for purpose or one/some Waitrose staff are playing 'silly buggers' or both! Either way I object to being overly surveiled and patronised when you offer temperamental 'Quick Check' handsets as a 'convenient' option. The 'Quick Check' handsets and the decline in customer service from more senior staff are a 'rapid check' to SHOP ELSEWHERE!

Visited my local Waitrose in Hythe, Kent this morning. Purchased a lovely, very expensive bunch of tulips and asked for them to be wrapped. Wrapping flowers in pink tissue is a standard service . Told by a surly supervisor that this service was no longer available. Such a pity that Waitrose continues to withdraw customer services and take away the niceties that make the store worth visiting!

I live 10 miles from my nearest Waitrose @ Weston Super Mare,we called in for Coffee/sandwich cake yesterday Sat 25/03/23. Coffee was gd. Cake & Sandwich poor. Loaf cake lemon,dry. We purchased Hot Cross Buns B.B.29/03/23. They were dry....hardly any fruit, ate one each & binned the rest. I want no refund or compensation. Just think you should know. Living 10 miles from store I'm not prepared to return again. If you go into WSM store & try the hot Cross buns that are still on the shelf you will know this review is genuine.

Sorry for this bad review but I could let it go without saying anything ! Very bad customer service at the cafe point at beckenham brunch ! Lady behind the till called ( Amber ) was very badly behaved and intimidated my little boy when he asked her to warm the scone again! He can to the table and vas very upset and I had to go to the till and ask her again to warm up the scone and she just through the scone on the table and even asked her colleague to witness the re-warm up of the scone , after putting on a show as well, I couldn’t believe it !! Should be working in public sector if she hasn’t got the manners .

Visited waitrose in Stamford uk, seen the signs new great lower prices. 09/03/23 What a joke everything was up about 15% Must be some reverse psychology stuff, over priced bs. Went Aldi in Stamford instead, what a lovely shop, brand new. Even my 85 year old mother liked it.. Waitrose get a grip, profit driven for the share holders and dumb snob that know nowt. boycott it.

Waitrose CATERHAM Surrey . Excellent service on my recent visit . Staff on fresh meat counter confirmed organic products and also advised me that I was entitled to a 20% discount on fresh meat that day. Also free coffee and newspaper.

I usually do the majority of my shopping in Waitrose both in store and online. In the middle of last year there was a big launch of weekly personalised vouchers that was very poorly thought through. However some were of a significant value so worth the hassle. For the last 3 months all I now get is 50p vouchers so no longer worth the drive. Much easier to visit Lidl, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Iceland that are a 2 minute walk.

Went to Waitrose this morning and I thought we had gone back in time to the three day week and power cuts, more than half the lights were out. It was an appalling experience tripping over other customers and staff plus trays of food. Mind you they had tomatoes if you could see them. Put the lights on why make it difficult to shop especially for the older generation or those with sight impairment. Do they care?

Why is Waitrose fruit so bad , it has the worst , but most expensive fruit of any of the larger supermarkets. I am fed up buying a pack of fruit , only to throw it in the bin . So I don’t buy fruit there .

If I could give no stars I would. The manager at the South Woodford Branch who said her name was Faye has no customer service skills whatsoever ..the store is dirty..bread scattered everywhere and poor displays...how they expect people to part with their hard earned cash to be treated in a non caring way is beyond me. ALL I can say is that you need to go on a customer care course and should not be in management !! It would not surprise me if health and saftey close this store down.
