Ok, I was engaging in a bit of their proudly proclaimed SPOV. If they hand it out they’d better be able to take it as well.
As context for the joke, the most middle-class of the national supermarket chains in the UK is Waitrose. (Middle-class as opposed to working-class; the upper class would not be seen in such places.) Number two is Sainsburys. So, some comedian remarked, what’s the point of Sainsburys? To keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose.

LOL apparently I am the riff-raff.
Aha, thanks for the explanation. Being an American I didn’t know the reference and interpreted it as a generic snark.
I’m from the UK and didn’t know the reference either.
