I doubt it's the most 
My last experience in an Asda a woman to the child she was walking with to "shut the **** up." Another woman with God awful tattoos and missing teeth was talking loudly on the phone calling someone a ****. I have never, ever witnessed this in Waitrose

haha yeah, but asda attracts the scum of the earth
. If you want to go mainstream, stick to Tesco or Sainsburys.
You do definitely get a better quality of tattoo in Waitrose.
The other thing that strikes me is - assuming that all people who shop in Waitrose are upper-middle class (which they're not, it's a stereotype perpetrated by the media which all the sheep buy into) - what's wrong with that?
Vilifying people who know good food - it's just reverse snobbery as I've said before.
Good food at affordable prices. What a scandal. Better not shop there in case people think I'm middle class.
Who cares? Just go where the best food is.
All the working class people I know shop at Waitrose. Probably because they have brains and knowledge of good nutrition.

Lmao, the only time I went inside a waitrose was to pick up my tablet yesterday and I didn't even order it from them (John Lewis had a Samsung Tab 4 7 for £89).
It looked kinda weird compared to all the shops and the collection point was next to this coffee machine that everyone was heading to.

Yeah, if you buy something from them and have some kind of card, you can get a free cup of coffee (or tea).
To be honest, that's pretty much the only reason why I think Waitrose is okay.

Waitrose and John Lewis are the same entity, John Lewis Partnership. So you did order from them.

Seems to be a go-to response when someone doesn't really know...
Quite simple really :
If you want stuff like baked beans and washing up liquid, don't get it at Waitrose, it is more expensive for these because Waitrose isn't involved in the price war.
If you can't tell the difference between good food and bad food, don't shop at Waitrose.
If you appreciate nice tasting food and don't mind paying slightly more for it, shop at Waitrose. If you can't and don't mind Tesco/Aldi/Lidl food, then don't shop at Waitrose. What's the point?
To think Waitrose is for snobs is the wrong way round. It's you that's common as muck and probably eat a crummy diet. It's a comparative thing. I'm assuming shopping at the butchers for meat is for snobs too, right?

Bit snobbish, prefer Aldi since I'm a student.

The people in Waitrose are better behaved than the people in Asda.
Indeed, and more polite than the Aldi shoppers in general.
Some supermarkets are very stressful to shop in, you have to hurry to pack your bag at the end and some people are just not as polite as in Waitrose.
