Waitrose introducing charges for home deliveries

I think Waitrose should run some ads that point up the difference between their own brand produce and other supermarkets.
Despite the demise of MySupermarket, I'm pretty sure that MSErs are experts at picking up branded stuff on offer and YS items. Not all own-brand products are created equal however and you get what you pay for.
One supermarket may allow a poultry farmer to feed chickens with GM feed and another won't. The presence of secondhand GM is left to the consumer to investigate because it doesn't have to be labelled though scientists know that it does transfer from chicken to human.
Most shoppers don't look at the corporate websites and don't ask questions, so supermarkets get away with this.

Yesterday I was lucky to find a next day Waitrose delivery slot. It was 3pm so got a free paper. Cut off was 6pm. So only had couple of hrs to do shop online. No delivery charge. If it does come in then I hope graduated like Asda/Sainsbury's not flat fee like Tesco as have no issues at getting delivery later in eve. Once had FREE Sainsbury's after 10pm slot.
Waitrose price match any subs in order & not a voucher like Sainsbury's.
Today's delivery had several subs which I worked out cost Waitrose at least £4.60!0 -
Received an email from Waitrose tody, telling me that orders placed after 09/09/21 will have a £3 flat rate delivery charge, Think that's pretty reasonable myself.0

but if, like many people, you already have a delivery pass with Tesco, Asda etc, you’re going to be very unlikely to buy from Waitrose. At the moment we alternate between Tesco and Waitrose, but as the Tesco deliveries will remain cost free with the pass, we’ll shop far less often at Waitrose - even though Click and Collect remains free if you spend £40.
