Waitrose Sheffield

Waitrose is often known as a supermarket for the rich and the upper class, and although richer people tend to shop here, including the Queen of England, it isn’t that high end supermarket it is made out to be, in fact it is made out to be a high end jewelry or a suit joint, which is by appointment only, but anyone can waltz on in to Waitrose, and their pricing is competitive.
This store is fairly large, with a great selection for gluten free, products include nearly a full isle of non-​frozen goods, including own branded items and even branded items, such as a large Schar Selection and Walkers Shortbread, most of the items here are very nice and hard to find elsewhere, which certainly beats a small selection of terrible products, which supermarkets such as Tesco knows a lot about!
Waitrose have a loyalty card system, which is also quite rewarding with a free newspaper once you spend 5 pound on a weekday (or £10 on a weekend), as well as a free hot drink every day, without having to spend a penny.
This store also has scan as you shop facilities, however they is only limited devices, and you do need the full size Waitrose card to use it, instead of a key fob, which is a little frustrating, compared to Tesco where you can use a key fob, a large card or even your phone!
The staff here seem quite nice and helpful, even though they did end up voiding the transaction, as I went on a «card only» till, hoping to pay cash, instead of moving the transaction onto another till, but it barely set me back a minute.
As mentioned above, the pricing here is competitive and the range for certain items, especially gluten free is great, stocking some great products, other supermarkets simply don’t, making the range here much better of a considerably larger branch of another supermarket.
They is also quite a nice café with some interesting teabag flavours here, but this café is mainly for cakes and hot drinks, although it is a nice place to sit in and work, while grabbing your free coffee or tea for being a loyalty card holder!
This is quite a nice supermarket, but due to some flaws mentioned with scan as you shop and the experience at the till, as well as it being quite hard to find from Sheffield city centre, especially for non-​locals, I feel I can only give 3 stars to this store, but it just proves why Waitrose is one of the best supermarkets for gluten free.
