    My wife went to Tesco in Helston, Cornwall today with our 8 week old son. Was pouring with rain. She waited for a parent child space and when one came available was promptly barged out of the way by some moron in a big truck 4x4 thing. She confronted the guy and got a load of abuse. He didn't even have a child and so was forced to struggle with a normal space and walk much further with a young baby in pouring rain. On complaining at customer services was met with the response "What do you expect us to do". This is not the first time. We often have problems with people who take these spaces but it is a nightmare trying to get a baby out of a cramped space especially when it is raining. Asda a few miles down the road have a £60 penalty policy, and Sainsburys also have deterrents and it doesn't seem to happen at either. Tesco suggest we use disabled spaces, but don't disabled people need those? There are also plenty of people who abuse these. However, what is the point of having special spaces for people who need them if Tesco aren't prepared to enforce it. Its sad that people are so inconsiderate and such selfish b*St*rds but just as sad that Tesco appear to condone it. :mad:

    Stop whinging! No-one makes you park in a "cramped" space - use some damn common sense and park somewhere in the car park where there is less cars! And then, if its raining use your umbrella and you wont get wet!

    Simple.

    now we're inside the supermarket.......

    OAP's - they should be banned from shopping at weekends and they should be banned from shuffling down the centre of the aisles. Any that stink of p!55 should be turned away at the entrance.

    Kids - should have their hands smacked if they touch any food produce, they should be fed before they get to the supermarket and not be encouraged to open packets of crisps / biscuits / fruit, they should be made to walk sensibly with their parents and they should be locked up in a padded room if they begin to have a strop.

    Ooh, ooh, and people with multiple vouchers or trying to pay with their penny jar are only allowed in between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. :D

    How did you guess that :think:.
    The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water
    And I look like a tramp and tramps like us
    Baby we were born to walk

    It may boring, and obvious, that doesnt make it any less true or less sensible.

    Ahh so your opinion is not to be questioned. We disagree, we're not going to agree, get over it. What's the point in going round in circles?

    Of course my opinion is to be questioned, but if you look back over the threadthe consensus does seem to be in favour of not expecting to be able to park in a P&C space and taking steps to sort out any issues that arise by other means. Umbrellas for rain, parking at the far end of the car park to address the width issue etc. I am just not convinced you have taken them onboard, if I am wrong I stand corrected.
