'Is this Waitrose’s most middle-class moment ever?'

Normalising the failure of the government, that food banks are now part of everyday language. When my children were babies I had never heard of a food bank."
Several people did defend Waitrose saying the supermarket's "intention" was in the right place but it was its execution that "was off". One user @upthewoodenhill said: "Although the tone is off, these reminders for shoppers whilst shopping are important. So regularly the foodbank area is next to the exit as a complete afterthought. Should be at the entrance!"
