Waitrose shoppers horrified to find 'ignorant' food bank message in supermarkets

Supermarket giant Waitrose has found itself in hot water with shoppers over 'disgraceful' food bank messages being placed around stores. Waitrose is known by many as one of the more 'posh' supermarkets, although in recent months, has impressed people with the price of its own-brand products.

In keeping with the cost of living crisis, Waitrose is encouraging shoppers to donate items to food banks where possible. The same is being done in supermarkets like Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury's, ASDA and Lidl.

However, shoppers have taken issue with Waitrose after they spotted food bank messages being placed under products on shelves. Images of the signs have now been shared across media, and action groups are getting involved.
