It would certainly be hard for them to argue that they're losing business if there's a huge carpark available over the road. The company they pay to monitor the carpark don't fine people for wrongly parking in disabled spaces or on the flower beds either.
I went and got some coffee so I'm perkier now but we've just found out that the theatre we're supposed to be taking the kids to tomorrow has closed due to a plumbing leak and the performances have been cancelled. The main star of the Panto we're going to on Friday has also had to pull out due to ill health as well.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
The supermarket, or the company who run their parking operation, aren't psychic? How are they supposed to know why somebody overstays? A polite, rather than sarcastic, letter explaining the situation is more likely to get a favourable response.
One of our large supermarkets is about 5 minutes walk from the centre of town and every day you will see people parking there and then walking straight into town. Maybe they plan to use the supermarket on their return, but probably not. Without any time restriction it's almost certain that the car park would be full of the cars of people working in town.

By using a better parking control system that doesn't automatically discriminate and issue extortionate fixed penalties? Do you think a parking warden would have slapped a ticket on the car while my wife was sat inside it feeding the baby? There is an appeals process with this ticket but I have to pay before I can appeal to avoid paying a higher fee. I would hope Morrison's would use sense and waive a fine that doesn't directly profit them in order to maintain good customer relations but we will see.

You buy meat and they pump it full of water: " for added succulence ". Who uses that word apart from advertisers? you buy ice cubes that have a hole through the middle full of - air 😠 i wondered why my ice cubes were disintegrating in seconds and wrecking my carefully crafted snifter. The correct ice temperature and water content is vital. Sainsbury's ice cubes are *%£# 💩. I'm going to have to make my own. Who in the 21st century has kept their ice cube trays. You don't even get them with fridges anymore. Forking out for a new fridge might not be the most economical way to get ice cube trays. I hate yoghurt and creme fraiche so I'm going to avoid the eco route. I suppose Robert Dyas will have some with a seasonal theme. Rant over but fury unabated😠
Good grief @B3!! Maybe try chilling the ingredients and not just the drink??
Have only ever bought ice cubes when I've needed them by the large bucketload for dance club events such as the end of year BBQ. We have ice cube trays - used more for freezing herbs than ice these days and our supermarkets sell ice cube trays. We keep drinks in the drinks fridge and rarely imbibe anything that needs an ice cube.

They haven't discriminated. All vehicles have been treated equally by being issued with a parking charge if they overstay. Do Morrison's manage their own parking or is it a 3rd party? I would agree that Morrison's might be more sympathetic.
Some of our store's neighbours leave their cars parked in our car park overnight, and also the patrons of the " working men's club" ( don't know if it's PC to call it that any more ) use it during their visits. No idea if anyone has been fined.
