Just come back from the new Winchester Waitrose. Upsides are:
-
Large; decent selection of food.
-
Looks like usual upscale Waitrose food quality.
-
Pleasant, well-turned out, professional staff (Sainsbury’s Winchester, I’m looking at you here).
-
Clean and well-presented store (once again, a glance in Sainsbury’s direction).
Downsides:
-
It’s too far out of town. OK, it probably isn’t if you have a car, I admit. I’m in the minority by avoiding one for cost reasons (which might cause one to question why I choose to shop at Waitrose, so it probably works for most of their customers). But, for me, it is a trek. I’ll probably be trying out Waitrose Deliver to see if that might help.
