Morrisons car park warning

st999

And the reason I am going on about Morrisons is because this happened to me at a Morrisons.

If it had happened at another supermarket I would be going on about the other supermarket.

Clearly most people think 2 hours is a perfectly reasonable amount of time for someone to shop!

What do you mean clearly? Prove it.

My disabled sister takes an age to shop, and wants cup of tea before and after. I know lots of OAPs that want to take their time shopping.
Can't you understand that some people need more or less time? Do you not understand that by trying to enforce 2 hours they are breaking discrimination laws?

I believe disabled people have special parking spaces at supermarkets and are not forced to obey the 2 hour rule. Therefore your sister will be fine and can spend as much time as she likes. There is no question of them breaking discrimination laws and by you trying to claim that only being allowed 2 hours to shop is breaking of discrimenation laws clearly shows your ignorance!

The reason why 2 hours is clearly enough is because that is the time that the supermarket has decided is reasonable to shop in their stores, if it wasn't they would increase the time. They are a business and want to make as much money as possible so would have applied market research to work out how much time "genuine" customers need to shop. They are not trying to stop genuine shoppers from visiting the store they are trying to stop people abusing their car parks.

I don't understand why you can't understand this basic concept?

No, I am saying if somebody is in my shop for 8 hours, then they are free to park in my car park without fear, abuse, bullying, extortion, and made up fairytale fines.

Fear, abuse, bullying, extortion? They got a fine on the windscreen of their car. Not taken round the back and beaten up by the staff of Morrisions!

I don't think the automatic parking cameras differentiate between the types of parking bays. If you are in the car park for two hours or more you will get there invoice whether you have legs or not.

The op just got a ticket on his windscreen so it wasn't automatic. I believe another poster on his other thread said the automatic systems don't ticket disabled cars as they can pick up the blue badge or have the license plate in a database.

It is not a fine, it is an invoice. If they are late paying they will get an increasing amount of intimidating and threatening letters from debt collectors and pretend solicitors, which IS illegal.

Read the stickies on the parking section of MSE.

Just ignore the pretty invoices, if you are disabled and get invoiced you could potentially take the supermarket for court for harassment under the equalities act 2010 (failure to make reasonable adjustments for disabled visitors)

Just because the person doesn't need to pay the fine on a technicality, it doesn't make it right that they flaunt those rules to be honest.

It's not a fine and it's not a technicality. Being completely at odds with the law is not a technicality.
