This could change my mind about both renting and retirement homes. What’s not to like about a John Lewis-furnished house with an on-site Waitrose? This is a company that both knows its target demographic and is building perhaps the ultimate in vertical integration. Apart from church services and Burford Garden Centre, Waitrose on a weekday is one of the few places I’m still able to reduce the average age. Wouldn’t most retirees prefer a morning there to tea and cribbage in the common room? And one to ponder: what sort of housing should other supermarket brands be considering?

Here’s the flip side. Should a business not have the right to choose whom it serves? If you as a client, or more likely potential client, rub us up the wrong way, are a declared anti-vaxxer or support the barges, can we not, as a business, say ‘Be Gone’?
