“I bought 3 packs of Waitrose No. 1 calves liver from their Morningside store and they proved an utter disappointment. Thickly sliced with sinew and tough inedible fibrous capsule contributing to the weight and therefore the cost. Very poor and dishonest especially when you consider the price of this product.”

“I spend multiple ££££’s with this store over the year. My collection before Xmas was a calamity, left sitting in my car for 30mins waiting having called the click & collect line and being told my order would be out in a moment. Went into the store and nobody had bothered to go and get it, so went back and waited in my car for another 10mins whilst they fumbled around. Complete shambles. Fast forward to today I’ve made an order for delivery and order doesn’t show up. No communication from store / driver or anyone. So I call the help line (which sounds like an outsourced service in a different country) where I’m on hold for 10mins whilst she tracks my order. Apparently the driver is coming now - unsurprisingly he wasn’t. Fast forward another 15mins I have to put my son to bed and over 45mins beyond the stated delivery window I left a note and bags asking them to leave the groceries in my porch - but no, the driver decided to disappear again with no phone call / no ring on the door bell, nothing. You guys are useless and I have already requested my account and all details be removed as I will not ever spend money with such a thankless, poorly run company again. It’s clear you / the business don’t care but you’ve waived good bye to £10k of business a year from me for the next 40-50 years so you can do the maths on that! In fact you probably can’t- it’s £400,000 to £500,000 worth of business. Anyone reading this I would urge you to think about the vast amounts of money you spend over time with these businesses - and how little they care.”

“I received biscuits as a gift but when opened were all broken up. I contacted customer services via email and phone and they insisted they wouldn’t do anything unless I produced a receipt. This is unacceptable as I think it’s rude to ask someone for the receipt. A company like Waitrose should have just agreed to replace them”

“Last time I ever shop in Waitrose. At the end of a hardworking week the last thing I need is for me and my trolly load of shopping to be met with only small areas of self service check outs with no room for trollies let alone adequate packing area which do not allow ease for packing a trolly, Unhelpful? Surley staff and having to put up with calling for and waiting for the one unhelpful assistant when products wont scan. Whoever thought doing away with normal checkouts was an idea needs shooting.. Waitroose has so got there customers wrong again !!!!!!”

“I bought some cod and then discovered you had put black pepper in it. I was unable to eat it. I will get my fish from the chip shop where they don’t mess about it people can always add pepper to their food if they want it. I hate it but it is added to so many ready meals.”

“Delivery problems Twice in 3 weeks. No shopping arrived as ordered so phone store and told no drivers so you are not getting delivery. Had to go to store to pick up big shop. Waited over 45 minutes in click and collect space only to be brought someone else’s shopping! Lack of communication from Waitrose is appalling. They are usually really good but things seem to be slipping recently.”

“I purchased strawberries from the Uttoxeter branch and the best before date was the 14th Sept ( next day) Every single one was inedible -they were soft and completely tasteless. They looked as if they had been frozen?”

“I purchased an Organic Chicken from Ely Branch on Sunday 28th July 2024 it cost me £19.85. Cooked a lovely Roast dinner but I have never had a chicken as tough as that in my life it was inedible, extremely tough couldn’t even chew it to swallow it. I ended up throwing it all away. I tried to call Waitrose customer service on the 0800 number and they spoke to me then left me holding for a while and hung up on me what great customer service. Not good really is it. I will never buy another meat item again from Waitrose, what a waste of hard earned money.”

“Last 4 home deliveries products contained numerous items with 2&1 day use by dates !!!! This last one had 13 of the 24 items with 3,2&1 days use by dates - each time it’s just a refund for those items and no consideration for the inconvenience of having to have someone go out to buy those products again for me(am recuperating at home after big op) John Lewis/Waitrose your customer service is appalling !!”

“I order 24 bottles of wine earlier this morning as you had 25% discount on-line. I just had an extremely unpleasant phone call from a female staff member at your Sunningdale store, whose name I won’t mention. She was v v agressive and unpleasant and told me that she didn’t have my 24 bottles in stock and whilst I ordered on line that it was Sunningdale ONLY who fulfills these orders despite Windsor and Egham Waitrose branches being closer to where I live. When I said that the Waitrose website had said 24 bottles of the wine I ordered were in stock she spoke over me saying this was not true! The website advised me to lower the number of bottles I was ordering to 24 as that was all they had in stock! Why Waitrose do you employ agressive, rude staff members who enjoy bullying customers? She was a bully and told me she was cancelling my order as that particular branch would only fulfill my order despite the fact I ordered on line. This is simply not good enough”

“Waitrose Comely Bank in Edinburgh is a disgrace. The store remains open as it undergoes a complete overhaul - no customer parking, no freezers, shelves all half empty, no ceiling with wires hanging out everywhere and the grubby interior on show and over food, two human checkouts with the majority converted into self checkouts for an older shopper demographic. It’s been like this for weeks already and will be for another few weeks apparently. Absolutely appalling and Head Office don’t give a damn - even staff has said as much privately. All this from a loyal customer of many years who is defecting to M&S and / or any supermarket who cares about its customers. 😡”

“My son went to work here, he was politely greeted at first but a few weeks in he was bullied by a women called Amanda. She threw a rotten tomato at my son (only 19 years old) and she didn't even get the sack. I will be confronting the manager of this waitrose.”

“Went to Waitrose Bromley to do our occasional shop, only to find that the manned checkouts have been replaced by do it yourself checkouts. Only one manned till remaining with a long queue. Bearing in mind the prices Waitrose charge we expect proper customer service. We will never go to shop at Waitrose Bromley again. It seems clear that the top management at Waitrose couldn't give a toss about customer service.....or indeed the customer. Goodbye Waitrose.”

“Waitrose home delivery has disappointed me so much. I did multiple shopping to allow enough time to form an honest and fair opponion but look at the state of te vegetables and fruit! These are just examples from various orders I made. For the price charged it's absolutely unacceptable! Never happened with any other online supermarket. Will never online shop with Waitrose again!”

“I checked the receipt immediately at the store at Kingsthorpe, Northampton and found a Mother’s Day bouquet there for £45. Moreover, the store hasn’t even started selling them yet. Two sellers completely checked all three of my bags, scanned all my purchases, without even asking my permission. I stood there like a thief who had been caught, even though £45 had been taken from me. As a result, after 15 minutes of investigation, my £45 was returned to me...”
