Reaction to The Large Cool Store

In this poem, we get the impression that the persona is looking down upon the middle class people he is describing in the store as he uses words like 'they' - excluding himself from these people and we get the impression that he doesn't want to be associated with them. 
Larkin uses words like 'clusters' as 'unearthly' to express his distaste for these middle class women and it also gives us the impression that he is sneering at them. 
In the last stanza, the line 'or in our young unreal wishes' he is saying that we all want the same thing, including himself with the word 'our' which is love.
