at the branch I use, the cashier asks for your car number but it
doesn't end up on the receipt - but the date & time of purchase does.


I don't use shops that have these parking systems.

It's actually less trouble than the close by ASDA, where you have to get
and display a free ticket from a machine.

They obviously have to control parking in some way, as it's beside an
extremely busy station, with no car park.

Then the station should build themselves a car park.

Easier said than done with some stations.

Why did the council approve a station with no car park?

Presumably it was approved in the days before many had cars.
