Waitrose Ampthill - James Bond and Rent A Cop the Dynamic Stupid Duo WAITROSE AMPTHILL JUST SHOCKING ..... Well What can I say.... it all started on a sunny afternoon First time visit to Waitrose AMPTHILL and because I was wearing a black jacket and the sun was shining the moment I entered the store I was under the watchful eye of rent a cop who was about 90 and grossly overweight If I wanted to steal something Waitrose it wouldn’t be hard Being 56 years of age I’m a doctor by trade and have never stole a thing in my life , I only called in to Waitrose Ampthill as I was on my way to Bedford Hospital from Luton As I did my shop it became obvious to me that every isle I went down a member of Waitrose staff was watching me or standing extremely close to me pretending to be doing something , whilst rent a cop watched from the end of isle , I thought nothing at first until I went to the next isle and then same again , I was wondering if I looked funny or something so I went to the third isle , by this time the staff had gone to help a customer who asked a question and rent a cop stood within 5 yards of me , I needed a drink but the other £40 worth of items including batteries for my DAB radio at work and Men’s moisturising cream for my hands I put back , I carried on and put my theory to the rest , I was right as the rent a cop followed me all round the store , I even picked up a few more items just to throw him off , when I went to the self checkout James Bond the super spy staff member who pretended to be doing something and Rent A Cop where both watching a screen that obviously showed what I purchased but didn’t notice that I had already clocked on to what they where doing for the past 15 minutes when I had finished I then approached them and asked them if he did this to all customers who entered the store , they blushed , mumbled and walked away towards a staff door and disappeared out back 15 minutes of my life wasted and made to feel that shopping at Waitrose is a criminal offence not to mention the embarrassment and the made to feel very very very unwelcome in store The staff where rude and it was a very uncomfortable trip to the shop to buy lunch before work I wonder if Waitrose treat all people who where black motorbike jackets the same or is it just the “I’m a snobs shop” and you don’t fit in I appreciate you have shop lifters but never judge a book by it’s cover and if you suspect someone , wait until they leave the store as you have zero powers until they actually leave the store with your goods , regardless of shopping habits that may in your eyes cause suspicious behaviour and wearing a jacket isn’t one of them as long as someone doesn’t leave the premises or open the product to take contents out then no offence has been caused I shall never shop there again and to be honest the out of stocks on the products I wanted including oranges , a drink , a sandwich , some milk and tea bags was amazing as I could have only purchase 50% of what I needed even if Rent a Cop and James Bond the Super Staff spy wasn’t watching my every move Yours Sincerely Dr Stephen Morris DMDS(1st Bachelor ) Bedfordshire Emergency On Call Specialist Who no longer shops at Waitrose Ampthill as he’s clearly not there type IE not Rich enough or doesn’t fit the Weathly Middle Class ages 55 to 90 who is happy paying a premium at Waitrose for goods that are overpriced and going off.
