So, is Waitrose open on Good Friday? Almost certainly, yes – but from 10 AM to 4 PM in most of England and Wales. Treat it like a trapdoor into a tiny pocket of shopping time. If you miss it, you’re on your own until Saturday, when they’ll be open normal hours (phew!). Then comes Sunday’s lockdown, then Monday’s return of the Sunday hours. It’s a logistical nightmare that only a country obsessed with bank holidays could create.
In summary: get up, check your store, speed-walk, and buy the damn chocolate. Your Easter depends on it. And if you fail, there’s always a petrol station for a sad, single crème egg. But you don’t want that. You want Waitrose. You want the bronze. You want the good Good Friday. Now go. Your butter is waiting. But only until 3:59 PM.
