- 2005, Country Life (volume 199, page 88)
  Debit cards make you feel virtuous in a Waitrosey/Volvo kind of way, but you can't delay payment for 30 days, and, more important, you have no consumer protection.
- 2008, "MM", Tesco's 185% increase in the price of grapeseed oil (on newsgroup uk.legal)
  There is no way that Tesco could justify such a massive hike. All prices at the big supermarkets are arbitrary and have little bearing on the actual intrinisc worth of any ingredient. They have a profit margin to maintain and I expect some bright spark suggested that grapeseed oil sounded a bit posh, a bit "Waitrosey", therefore the sort of product only rich people could afford, so let's whack the price up to make it seem a real luxury.
- 2014, Matthew Engel, Engel's England: Thirty-nine counties, one capital and one man:
  'Is my thatch not immaculate?' This is most obvious in west Suffolk, where the old wool-based opulence has been fortified by the wagonloads of Waitrosey weekenders.
