sweeties, I shop in Watirose in Islington. It's all about what brand of champagne, smoked salmon and bottled water you have in your basket

Actually, I rarely shop in there - I prefer to do mine online as I can see it better - but you'd be surprised at the number of people who pose at the checkout, making sure they thrust their Veuve Cliquot and organic, hand-fed baby artichokes under your nose just in case you hadn't clocked how chic they are

I like it in there even though it's small, plus you've got a more mixed clientele (there's a Sainsbury's next door to ours, which is where the less fortunate have to shop, and M&S the other side)

I work at waitrose and it's not snobbish at all. We get a few people in that buy the most rediculously expensive things, but most of the time it's just average people.

Those kind of folk are so sad, you'd never catch me doing that



As for caring what other folk think of the items on belt, now that REALLY is sad! I couldn't give a flying **** either.
I resemble this type mostly....which is nice.

I did smirk the other day when the woman in front of me bought 4 weight watchers ready meals and 6 large bars of Cadburies dairy milk.

I also have the pitiful look for the poor sod stood with wife/girlfriend with a pack of Always on the belt and think your in for a severe ear bashing for no good reason other than she hates all men and aint even going to get a shag by way of compensation.
