@waitrose pls can you fix a new issue with self-scan machines as they no longer scan MyWaitrose wallet barcodes on bigger phones? Wouldn’t work taking a screenshot of the barcode so lower on the screen. Not carried my card in yrs & won’t work for iPhone 17 ProMax size. Thanks!

I wasn’t the only one in my local store today with the same issue apparently when I asked the customer services staff. I have a protective case on the phone but not that big. I think the barcode position just needs to be lowered a bit in Apple Wallet

Then it would probably release the handset. You can scan it at the self-service tills on the plate scanner but it just means a far less streamlined experience for customers wanting to scan as they go. Thanks for considering!

Thoughts are with the families of those affected by the tragedy in Southport and those emergency service colleagues who have, and continue to respond, to this incident.

When will people appreciate that vile behaviours towards frontline staff are unacceptable when we’re often politely trying to help them. Why also are staff so reluctant to report? Sadly on the receiving end this morning, grateful for a prompt police response & camera evidence

What else do you do after a busy week of shifts in ED? Immediately bake cupcakes as part of your end of year teachers gifts for the 3 impressive women who’ve given your gorgeous girl the best start at school #endofreception #timeflies #cupcakes #teacherthankyous

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)

Yesterday marked 10 years service at the Trust since I returned as a registrar. Thank you for recognising this little milestone. I’ve spent most of my working career at UHS and have always loved it #proudtobeuhs #herestothenext10

I still can’t quite believe this happened yesterday but our gorgeous girl had her first day at school! She was so excited and had “lots of fun”. A new chapter begins! @mattchandy

Just a thought. Can we cancel all the Christmas adverts now? If parents are having to decide whether to eat or heat, how on earth are they going to cope when their children see ads for toys there is literally no money for?
