Twitter jokers ruin 'Why I shop at Waitrose...' promotion

A social media stunt by upmarket supermarket chain Waitrose failed spectacularly when people were asked "I shop at Waitrose because..."

Many of the tweets were derisory about the upmarket chain's reputation for catering for the middle-class shopper, typified by the 4x4 driving yummy mummy.
The Twitter teaser was released on Monday and instead of messages praising their ethical ranges and organic meat, they have received some upmarket put-downs.
