As you say, you could work in one of the shops, you could also be a customer there as well, what if the vehicle is shared and someone esle drives it as well?

That would be interesting if an employer passed personal data (VRN) to a scammer when the vehicle was being driven by someone other than an employee.

Ask the manager to send the instruction not to park there by mail so you have proof of what was said for whatever happens

It is possible that a restriction was placed on the car park by the council when planning permission was approved that it is for the use of customers only. Employees would not therefore be allowed to park there for that reason.

I would start with the local planning department to see if there are or indeed are not restrictions about the use of the car park, including time limits.

If it is restricted to customers only then that is one thing, but if is for "users" then that can be interpreted in a completely different way. Someone working there would still be using the car park for a legitimate purpose.

You would also need to see the contract that the leaseholder (shop) has with the freeholder.
