    I went to Waitrose, had a lovely time.

    Unbelievable. Coming here in support of companies. You don't happen to work for them do you??

    *rolls eyes*

    Felt very belittled and patronised.

    Have tried contacting customer services but just got the brush off.

    Have decided I wont be returning.

    That's the most moving story I've ever read. With your emotive poetry you humble us, please most more.

    I've never been to Waitrose....
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    You don't get that in Aldi or Lidl.

    Let me guess, they didn't have any enokitake mushrooms.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    I have to go elsewhere to feel patronised and belittled as we don't have a waitrose in my city.......

    You're missing out...they are usually quite nice shops with nice produce (admittedly some of it way overpriced), kept tidy and free of riff raff.
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    And a fine job they do of it too!
