"Good luck Kings Road hope you have a nice day today open your new shop and I'll come and see you soon"

"Interesting. They’re creating a new store. The front entrance is almost finished. Sneek preview of pics attached."

"Probably the worst grocery store in Chelsea! The selection of products has significantly dwindled over the past year as they've stopped selling more and more items leaving at least 20% shelves space empty. I used to love their prepared fruits, however, in the past year the quality of the sliced fruits has really gone downhill. Many of them are spoiled well before their expiration date. I've had to stop buying sliced watermelons and melons, which used to be my favorites. They seem to have switched the class of pineapples. Now, the sliced pineapples are always pale and sour, unlike in the past when they were bright yellow and delightfully sweet. The sliced mangoes are hard and crunchy, unlike before when they were soft and sweet. Selection of vegetables over the year got much more limited. Their vegetables used to be always fresh and appealing. Now, they look bad, and often spoiled as you can see in this picture of mushrooms covered in fungus. To top it all off, the store has recently installed checkout machines with face recognition cameras that record customers' personal data without their consent."

"It’s such a joy to go to Waitrose and feel so welcomed by Maria. She’s extremely helpful. Fantastic service!"

"Definitely the most grocery storesque grocery store in the neighborhood. Really packed most of the time and pretty narrow aisles. Not too many prepared foods but a number of things that heat up quickly. Reasonable produce, okay meats and cheeses and decent breads. Good prices and sale items on some stuff if you're looking out, including better pricing on two. Lots of stuff is their brand and it's always considerably cheaper. Try to go at off peak hours."
