Well true, but the point is that Waitrose and Asda usually stock different brands - and we tend to find that Waitrose tends to come closer to where we want to be on the price/quality curve.
... but I do agree that I don't care what sort of person uses the supermarket - it's all about the goods.
Alan Coren, bless him, said he liked Sainsburies because it kept the riff-raff out of Waitrose. Now that /was/ funny.
Just the smell of Netto is enough to put you off. Though I did brave it a while ago and get a very nice 24LED torch for a little over a fiver. I wonder if it'll come back safely from my son taking it to adventure camp.
Maxie, now that was funny. I do like tall stories!!! Maxie, you are a breath of fresh air.

Matt, did you belly laugh at that? Fascinating.
I went into one of these some time ago and that was exactly my observation. I went to a Makro as well and that was the same. Whether this is a hygiene issue or stock rotation or ?? I have no idea, but the smell was stomach churning.
Matt, I know what you mean. I went to Fortnum and Mason once and was appalled at the smell too.
You'd be no good in an abattoir then.
Same here.

RIP :-(
But he'd have written "Sainsbury's".
Mary
Just as well he only said it, rather than wrote it, then...
:-)
You know that?
Mary
No he wouldn't unless his command of written English was poor - which I doubt. There might be many Sainsbury owned stores close to where he lives but only one Waitrose. Same as here, really.
Sainsbury's is an adjective. Ie Sainsbury's bread.
I am sure you're right.
Doubt it... went to an abattoir once, don't recall that it smelled particularly.
Or my local Be here and Queue, while they try to find out why the barcode won't scan in.
Well, if we're going to be pedantic (and it seems we are) then no, "Sainsbury's" is indeed the correct usage here as it's the name of the company, ie with the apostrophe.
Thus (gramatically) "Asda" = "Sainsbury's" = "Tesco" = "Waitrose"

[PS: But does that mean it's "Sainsbury's's bread?"]
Certainly is round here: Lidl is full of chattering Poles, and the chavs are in Asda
I don't care. Asda is Asda Walmart, so they can FRO for starters.
