big doors or no big door, them spaces are there for a reason !, and i think that asda tesco etc should fine you for abusing them, i hate seeing people use them.

Its quite a real pet hate of mine tbh. The funniest thing i think is when i go the gym. Every night i see nob heads fighting to get a space right out side the front door of the place, even waiting like vultures for one to come available, or parking on the road by the front door when there's tonnes of spaces at the back.

The irony is though, that these wankeers dont mind going to the gym to work out and burn cal's etc but refuse to walk 100 meters or so to the gym its self, its daft.

Now if this is the case for fittness freaks, then there's nothing down for average joe just doin the weekly shop etc. So yes fine the twaats

But parent and child spaces are a marketing scam... they are placed in the most dangerous part of any supermarket car park. And as a result, a lot of the time, the disabled spaces get moved further away.

I refuse to park in a disabled space. I don't care about a parent and child space, because they are not there to help parents, they are there to attract parents to the store.

As I have said before, anyone who thinks a supermarket does anything to help customers is pretty stupid; everything is planned managed from Head Office, who havent got the slightest interest in helping customers, its about maximising profit.

And this is something the British public fall for time and time again.

Why should a parent ave any more right then a non-parent to park closer to the store? It is safer and easier for them to park further away, in the quiet parts of the car park, but oooooo nooooo, thats too far for some parents to be arsed walking.

Of course imho, kids who are not on reigns or in buggys should be banned from supermarkets full stop as all they see the supermarket as a day out, a fun centre, and parents in general have little control over them. Personal opinion, so dont slate me for it, but it pisses you off when you go into a supermarket to do ya shopping and there are sprogs everywhere running around like headless chickens and screaming cos they cant get their own way.

This is why, if I go shopping in the daytime, especially at weekends, I tend to avoid the big players and go to Somerfield, as the shopping experience is just so much more relaxed.

you are allowed your own opinion matt, freedom of speech, just like i have a right to take my children to the supermarket with me, whenever i please, and not on reigns or in buggies. Yeh my kids are like most others, they get excited and see the trip to the supermarket as an adventure, but we control our children, they know when and how to behave in a shop and 99.9 % of the time they do just that. In fact more often than not, its the adults who are badly behaved doing their shopping. They are rude, inconsiderate self obsessed a-holes who think they are the only ones with a right to shop, by barging past/infront of you to get what they want or ramming you with their trollies as they are so important and need to get what they want before anyone else.... it is obnoxious self obsessed little tossers like this that should be banned from shopping at certain times, For somebody who goes on about taking your younger relatives out alot with you, you sometimes have very strange views about people who have children matty.... maybe one day when you hav eyour own children matty, u will realise just what it is like to go shopping with your children...

lol, i looked after a kid for a day, a 2 year old, i was with my x, it wasn t easy and there was a parent to child ratio of 2:1, so any thing to help parent is a plus,

Matty that was a fair point though about the child and parent spaces being in a dangerious place, i do agree abit in the fact they dont need to be right close to the store, because there is nothing stoppin them from walking. How ever although it is a plus if the parking goes for the parents favour but i very much doubt its going to be a big contributing factor which governs were you shop !

Jonah > then people piss me right off too !

at the end of the day helping customers and maximising profit are linked, help the costomer get what they want they come back or spend more money with that store etc. so i must disagree with that 1. yes most things are managed for a 'head office' but they are trialed first and the things that dont work dont get implemented

No you dick, because as I outlined above they cannot enforce private parking fines so they can slap as many 'invoices' as they want on my car, i dont HAVE to pay it.

Dick = joke, but you know what i mean!

As i say, ALL the time, when people give ME some respect by being careful when they get out of the car not to ding my doors, i will show some respect to others by not parking in 'restricted' bays.

Simple.

Why not take the initiative and park where you're meant to then? You're probably one of the tools I have to deal with day in, day out copping crap because I've asked you to move (I work on the trolleys in the Liscard Asda) but because you're ONLY going to use the cash machine or ONLY getting a couple of bits you think it's okay to park there. A car park is bloody deadly to someone like me when you have idiots (may I point out that in over 5 years of doing the job I can almost exclusively put this in the hands of BMW, Mercedes, Audi and VW Golf drivers) who power into a space sans indicators, jump out clutching their keys for a little while too long and stride in the store boldly. In the end we're the one who get the complaints while the drivers get away with it scot-free; we can announce your car til we're blue in the face but christ, you're only coming when you're good and ready to. So do me a favour, use a proper space like most people. Oh, and no profits are made by Asda, it goes to charity.

you the man, took the words from me mouth, alex, what your saying is nonsence, people will always ding cars in parking spaces, its just one of those things, if your really worried about it then park further away from the entrance, people on the hole do tend to be curtious and not twang their door on to your car, its just the odd cock jockey with no considderation that does it

It's just ridiculous that he thinks that because he doesn't want a ding that he has the right to park somewhere that's exclusively set out to help people who (generally, some do abuse it but with a badge there's bugger all I can do) have physical needs to be close to the store. Most people who drive take that risk and, would you believe it, don't get dinged. It's just laziness that makes people park there, it's like those who sit and wait at the front of the store for half an hour. It's a pick-up point, not a sit-and-wait-and-read-the-latest-news-in-the-paper point, you're blocking taxis collecting fares, my access to put trolleys back, people picking up/dropping off people. Honestly, knob-ends who are in the car park set me off on one! An extra twenty metre walk won't kill you. Disabled people use the store all the hours under the sun so don't park there, you tool.
