    there was 3 town and city operatives in my local asda, barking at me where to park..
    Woot? If they're doing this I'll go to Tesco instead. Asda can go .... .......... Noticed some jobs advertised at the job centre recently which I am guessing were for something like this.

    They use parking control at my local Sainsburys in Stanway when they are busy. They are actually really effective as you just need to look for someone waving a lollypop to find a place to park.

    Ah so it's kind of like what the unemployed do in Portugal expecting you to give them a tip for the favour, when usually the space was pretty bloody obvious anyway.

    Maybe these poor souls believe they are doing a worthwhile job, maybe Driver8 needs to leaflet theses employees saying although we are happy they have a job and we hope they are well paid,;) the ticketing side of their duties is a waste of time in most cases, and getting even less productive as people realise these invoices are nonsense.

    Oh well, perhaps we should be grateful that somebody is offering employment to the cerebrally challenged.

    Some funny comments on this thread from PPC reps!

    They don't like it up 'em!

    Having spent 15 minutes driving up and down each isle looking for a space, being able to just look for a person waving a lollipop saves a lot of time.

    I don't see the connection with 1939. Have the PPCs invaded Poland?

    Pssst!! Cut and Shut left the building in December 2010 never to be seen again, at least not under that name.
