  • Good news, a little birdy has told me Aldi are getting very ****** off with the parking firm and we might be about to see a development soon.

    I hope so. The sooner they act the better.

    Lucky you.....some of us need a bit of time shopping. It's not like it happens all the time. But it also depends on how quickly you can find a Parking space, do your shopping and hope that there are no queues at the tills. Then get your shopping packed properly as Aldi tills are not like Tesco or Sainsburys were you're given time to pack into as many plastic bags as like. And mind you this happened during the festive period, the shops were quite busy.

    P.S. For your information parking time starts when you enter the parking area not when you actually park your car.

    Which is why the T&Cs are utter bollox ... a moving vehicle is not parked, so they are not offering 90 minutes (or whatever) parking time. ;)
