Parent and Child parking spaces in major supermarket chains.

[Al27]

This whole thread is a bit unnecessary. Direct your vitriol against the real villains! Private parking companies that torment the elderly when their blue badge slips off the dash, or mothers who get harassed when they're in parent bays if a 'child seat isn't on display'.

[Al27]

How long would PPCs remain in business if they relied on badges falling off the dash etc, the truth is they only exist because there is a need. Companies like Tescos make billions a year and spend millions on PR do you really think they would sit in their boardroom and think 'hey I have a great idea lets really annoy our customers by giving them parking tickets!'.

 

And who creates this 'need'? PPC's aren't going to get contracts if they tell potential clients they won't do much and they're not really needed.

 

As for Tesco - I think you give them too much credit. They don't have a clue about any of it and just get a company in 'to look after the car park' as a matter of course. Customer services is the front line, designed to swat off any grumbling customers.
