After reading so many smug threads on how the Ocado delivery mans' shit smells of roses and the waitrose food being so much better than any other supermarket at half the price, AIBU to find it quite amusing that of all the Supermarkets, Waitrose was the only one found to be selling grapes with illegal levels of pesticide residues?

Tut,tut Waitrose, that's not what I call quality.

Blah. Would still choose Waitrose over every other supermarket. Next!

PS - My Ocado delivery men and women's shit doesn't just smell of roses; sugar-spice-and-all-things-nice also spring to mind

I don't think you're being unreasonable to be a bit smug about this un-Waitrosey behaviour.

Being a (whispers quiety...pssst...come over here....) Lidl and Aldi shopper myself, I find that the Waitrose/Ocada experience IS more expensive than my regular shop.

And the shop assistants at Lidls/Aldi have pooh that smells like mine. So I feel more comfortable with them. Perhaps that's why I shop there?

YABU to find toxic food amusing though. Tut tut (shame on you emoticon)
