Should you refuse to do this without proof of purchase, you are discriminating against her for having paid cash

I do not think that that is the case. Cash or card, they still provide a receipt.

Indeed but having bought a weeks shopping and eaten the food I think it's unreasonable to expect the customer to thereafter keep a receipt in case they get a punitive invoice for taking longer to do the shopping than they say you're allowed

Remove that it doesnt sound right

more importantly, nobody should have to keep receipts given for proof of purchase for as long as it may take to ensure that you have not fallen foul of parking eye and received a ticket some weeks or months later !

it should not even be a requirement for parking there and these supermarkets etc have been found to have fallen foul of regulations like initial planning applications etc

but if this goes to popla and the appeal is upheld on the not a gpeol (or no contract) then its still quashed, as quashed is quashed no matter how it has been achieved, but the aldi principle of only allowing 1.5 hours to shop and enter and exit a car park, never mind this minimum spend or having a receipt is ludicrous

we understand they do it to ensure a high turnover of car park spaces, but sometimes its very draconian in its methods and can only alienate genuine shoppers

once bit - twice shy

Remove that from what? It's not in the letter....or are you saying remove the post?

And the reason for that is Aldi's policy of building their stores on small parcels of land that the other supermarkets won't touch. So they end up with car parks that are too small to handle the number of customers that come through their doors. Additionally, they don't seem to have stock rooms that are big enough. Hence to pictures on their FB page of pallets of goods blocking the shop aisles.

Why do you say that when it's been proved time and time again that Parking Eye are not entitled to demand this money?

okay, please send me your address so I can send you an official looking but fake "invoice" for £100 on some trumped up petty rules , lets see if you pay up to avoid the hassle

i will even offer it half-price if you pay up promptly

So, should I now send #89 to Aldi?
