Default Lidl parking

Talking about terms and conditions, does anyone actually read them on
anything these days.


A few of the most anal do.

I had this very silly thought the other day that if I wanted to run a car
park I'd put in the terms, all patrons parking here have to disrobe before
entering the shop as the s staff need a good laugh.
:-)


Bet if you did that, it would be noticed pretty quickly.

The Lidl branch I most use is at Clapham Junction. They have number
recognition cameras, and ask you for your car number at the checkout.
Which then gives you up to 90 minutes free parking.

Had a demand for a fine from the company that runs it for them. On that
occasion, the till person obviously forgot to ask me for my details. Not
that I noticed at the time. And they could have changed the system
anyway.

Emailed the car park company and said I'd paid by plastic so they could
check with the store easily that I'd used the store on the date and time
in question.

Some time later, I've had an email asking me to prove I made a purchase.
They want a copy of the till receipt.

As it happens I do still have it - as I bought something with a
warranty.
But had it been just groceries, would have been junked the same day.

So I've told them to check themselves. Be interesting to see what
happens
next.


I've never been to an Aldi or Lidl that has parking charges of any kind,
almost all the ones I know of are shared car parks, Lidl shares with a
large gym chain, Aldi shares with Halfords, Maplins, Iceland and a few
poundshops etc
