UKPC and my local ASDA

Options
No, I don't have a parking problem and no, I don't even drive a car...
But I hate these parking scammers as much as you all do!...

So, my local Asda uses UKPC to infest their "free" parking area (also shared by B&Q, Curry's, Costa, BK, Sports Direct, Etc).

Now, even though I don't drive, it really upsets me, every time I walk into Asda, to see that the UKPC parking attendant is always behind the front desk security station with, what seems, full access to the CCTV monitors for the store. And, I mean, 95% of the time. I wrote to Asda on their twitter page for info but got no response.

I'm not really trying to start anything here but, I would just like to wish everyone good luck fighting these scammers back!

    Well done for spreading the word and doing your bit even without having a car!

    Each battle will help to win this war against PPC World and the utter scam it stands for.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Is he really?
    That is indeed a big no no.
    I'd wager he's paying particular attention to the external cameras - these are ptz domes so no doubt using them to his advantage.
    Which store is this?
