Does parking put you off going places?

I also avoid anywhere where these scumbags are present.
Luckily (so far) none of my local supermarkets have taken any of them on (there is one at the B & M in the town centre but I'm fortunate to have access to a works car park adjacent to it so i never pay for parking anyway).
The second my local Morrisons (where myself and Mrs Hogweed spend a fortune!) Asda or Tesco put them in place I will speak very loudly to the manager in front of as many people as possible telling him why he has just lost my (and hopefully the others listening) custom.

No, if I get one, I get one. Hopefully I can sort it out and cost them money.

Like most regulars on here, I am very careful but I refuse to enter a car park operated by Parking Eye.

Everyone I know avoids Morrisons because of Parking Eye and infact the Morrisons car park is always half empty.

These supermarkets have yet to wake up and understand that "word and mouth" destroys businesses

Mainly I use a local Tesco which has free parking and no sign of the vermin

I deliberately got to ParkingEye spots... I think I have been whitelisted though.

If I'm over the border in a borrowed car I tend to be a lot more cautious and would avoid notorious hunting grounds. In my own car less so.

That said, parking in general dictates where I tend to go in the car; small child + tones of child stuff means I favour car parks with the space to unload safely.

Seriously? I've got no preference whatsoever and the entire baiting thing ( if thats your game) is, in my opinion a waste of time.

As for changing habits, the PPC menace is here there and everywhere, and in most cases theirs little that can be done to avoid it, supermarkets ALDI/Morrisons/ASDA: parking eye, Sainsburrys Hghview/Euro, adn so on.
However if it comes down to a choice of pay and display car parks I would park in a council owned and run place any day over a PPC pay and display operation, as any money form the council car park will go into council coffers and hopefuly be used to improve the local area as opposed to the back pocket of a ppc boss
