To summarise: Yes, Waitrose is open on Bank Holiday Monday, but with reduced hours and a slightly unhinged energy. It’s like finding your favourite posh aunt in her pajamas at 3 PM—delightful, but slightly unsettling.
So check the hours online. Arrive early. And if the deli counter is closed, just buy the pre-sliced manchego. It’s not the end of the world. It’s just a Bank Holiday Monday at Waitrose, where even the cheese takes a break.
Now go forth, and may your reusable bag be heavy with luxury goods and cheap triumph. And if you forget to check? Well, there’s always the petrol station. They sell crisps. Don’t judge me.
