About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his shopping cart—a small, handwritten note attached to a bottle of olive oil. It read: ‘For your health and happiness.’ Curious, he scanned the aisles but saw no one around. As he checked out, the cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Happy shopping!' Turns out it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver leaving little notes everywhere.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet as a library, an early bird shopper heard a strange humming coming from Waitrose's produce section. Curious, she followed the sound and found that it was just a delivery driver singing along to his favorite radio station. With a smile, she thought, ‘What a pleasant way to start the day!’ The humming soon became part of the store’s morning routine, much to the amusement of other early-bird customers.

3. At dusk, when Waitrose usually hums with activity, a delivery driver noticed something odd on one of the shelves—an old, dusty calendar page stuck between cans of organic beans. Curious, he picked it up and saw an old photo of a smiling lady in a long dress, holding a basket filled with fresh produce. The caption read: 'Best apples ever!' Turned out, it was from a local farmer’s wife who used to shop there decades ago. Now, every time someone finds an old calendar page, they say hello to Mrs. Green, the neighbor who still shops at Waitrose.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a faint voice calling from inside one of the crates. Curious, he opened it and found a tiny note that read: ‘Forgot my shopping list again.’ Turns out, an excited neighbor had mistakenly packed her own groceries into his crate.
