Who do blue badge holders think they are.

It's a very big store and there are loads more ordinary spaces, the disabled and P&C have a bit to themselves, there is another car park across the road for Macro and a Lidl one at the other end of the Tesco Building and yet another behind the Tesco building for a business centre. anyone who says they can't get a space is a lying vajazzle.

You mean Costco;)

Yes that one, with the unenforceable meaningless sign.

As a courtesy I observe the sign.

I am nice like that and not to lazy or inconsiderate to ignore it.:D

Anybody able to cure my son's disability is welcome to have his blue badge.

I am neither lazy nor inconsiderate, taxi and bus drivers are not inconvenienced and it saves driving all the way round even though it does mean parking a little further from the door than I would possibly get if I drove the extra distance. Many signs put up by private companies are meaningless, if there is no safety issue and I am not causing problems for someone, I ignore them, fraudulent parking restrictions, no refunds, silly conditions, IGNORE.
Just like out at the Fort I often park and shop at Morrisons and walk to Starbucks or Costa afterwards If I am doing a big shop at Cowlairs I park wherever I park first and walk to the other shops in the retail park I am using.

There we must disagree.

Ditto the above, the OP obviously has no idea about the difficulties facing people with disabilities. As I have said before, my ds and dh are both disabled. If it were not for the blue badge my dh would be housebound a lot of the time as he just cannot walk very far (he is in constant pain and even a slow 5 minute walk is difficult). We didn't apply for my son as he can walk if he wants to - oh the joy of autism .

This bickering reminds me of a young lad we used to have come into a shop I used to work in. He came back in and complained loudly of having got a ticket while he was shopping there, seemed to think he had the right to free parking while in there. Well, he does - just not in the disabled space (council, not private!!), but he would not accept that it was a well marked disabled space and said he should be able to use whichever space he wanted. The silly thing is there was at least two free spaces, it was raining and the shopping parade is not busy when it is raining that hard.

That shop has a lot of disabled customers, it is a small convenience store and post office, and we got more than enough complaints from blue badge holders about the space being used by "normal" cars, so it happened to be mentioned in passing to a police officer who was a customer. Not that I would ever do that ...........
