The point that you (and everyone else it would seem) are missing is that it
is not a _public_ car park, it is _Lidl's_ car park. I assume that when Lidl
were spending the time, money and effort to build a car park outside their
shop, they were intending it to be for their own customers. The fact that
they didn't explicitly state this on a sign somewhere, or barrier it off to
all except Lidl customers should not matter. The car park is on their land,
outside their store, so by implication the car park is for their customers.

The OP is a customer of Lidl. So where's the problem?
