For years I've parked at Lidl in Uttoxeter. I've done my shopping in

UKPC issued the minute I left Lidl's car park.

There is a sign which says in BIG letters that parking is restricted
to 2 hours and below this, in much smaller letters, that you must not
leave the site. It appears they employ somebody to watch you leave
and issue a ticket (but not to warn you that you're in danger of a
ticket). They don't care if you shop at Lidl or not.

From now on I won't be shopping at Lidl or anywhere else that employs
UKPC.

Whilst I can't agree with Lidl's use of UKPC, I hardly think you've got any
right to feel aggrieved about it. By your own admission you've been doing
this and getting away with it for years and yet now you've been caught
you're whingeing about it on here??

There's a retail park around here that's always difficult to find a parking
space on - no wonder if the car park is full of cars belonging to *******
like you who are somewhere else. This is exactly WHY retail parks are
introducing these schemes.

Common courtesy and consideration for others obviously mean nothing to you
do they? Just why, exactly, do you think it's acceptable to park up in one
shopping place and then go do your shopping elsewhere?


No,
we pop into town, park at Lidl,
spend at Lidl,
then nip to the chemist to get things Lidl dont sell.

If the OP can find receipts from many LIDL visits
then I'd hassle them for the money back,
write to the local paper,
embarass the rotters.

The 2 hour limit is fair,
fining you for going to the chemist (or public toilets - do they have
toilets in your LIDL?
is rotten.

Was the carpark full up?
