No satire at all. Never said it was something new just the topic made me think about it in more detail, just plan where you go, think of the time of day and follow all the rules.
there is a very noticeable difference between ‘Waitrose clientele’ shopping during COVID and other supermarkets. I’m also not sure I agree with your extortionate prices, yes some items are more expensive others are comparable with Tesco/Sainsbury’s (can’t compare with Aldi as I’ve only been in once and I’m not going back) big thing is they rarely have the big BOGOF type items or other items. For example the quality of meat/fish is better. In fact you’ve raised another good point - expectation of cheap food may be a bigger long term health / environmental problem than COVID (and that’s before we allow our American cousins food supply chain in)
Waitrose is ace. Give me the posh Milfy types that look down their nose at you over scumbag corner in my local ASDA any day of the week. I tend to give ALDI a miss as I end up coming out with a trumpet and a paddling pool instead of the food and drink I went in for.
