I'd be happy to produce the receipt if they send someone here to
examine it. What I'm not going to do is be put to any inconvenience
for something which is in no way my fault.

You would prefer to waste the court's time, Lidl's time, everyone's
time, by not sorting something out that you could do very easily?

Oh yes. And expect vast damages for them wasting my time too.

Damages don't come into it.

That was a joke, Joyce.

Given your behaviour in this, you won't even get your costs either.

It will never get anywhere near any court, you watch.

All you're doing is causing a pointless waste of everyone's time,
including your own,

He isn't wasting any of his time not
providing them with the till receipt.

And it's Lidl wasting everyone's time including
their own, by not using their own data to see
that he did use the shop when his car was in the
carpark, from the car rego number he gave he
cashier on a previous occasion when asked for it.

to no purpose.

It might well see them get a clue and use their
own records and realise that that is a much
more effective way of checking who used
the shop when they had a car in the carpark.

And only actually ask the individual if the car
rego has never been supplied to them before,
and the same card wasn’t used previously.

Why? Are you always totally obstructive and unhelpful?

With companies like this parking lot, yes.

Who have merely made a simple and straightforward request to you for
information,

And got a simple and straightforward answer
that he was under no legal obligation to
provide, that yes, he did use the shop when
his car was in the carpark on that occasion.

Something they could have discovered using
their own records.

as one might hope, before action.

There will be no action, you watch.

And it's information you have and could easily provide.

It's information Lidl has and can use without asking him at all.

Bear in mind, if the parking rules weren't enforced,

He broke no parking rules.

And they can be enforced without asking him anything after
the event, and much more cheaply and automatically too.

you might well find you couldn't park.
