Today, I was issued with a £60 fine for being parked in a supermarket car-park for more than 3 hours. I work there. FML

mitchell904 tells us more.

I will definitely be fighting it! There's no way I'll pay it. The reason I got the fine is because the car park management is outsourced to another company, and they've just switched to an automated system which identifies the registration number of the cars when entering and leaving. Whilst I have a little permit sticker on my windscreen - which has been fine for the past 2 years - the system doesn't see it. Needless to say I'll be going in to speak to someone today... And walking.

Are you supposed to park in an employee area or something?

Those extreme shoppers must get fined all the time if you were only there for 3 hours.

Just go appeal it in court, you won't have I pay the ticket, then go talk to your boss about getting a parking pass that says your work in the store.

Just appeal it. I've had 2 parking fines when I've been parked outside my mate's pub & both were overturned because I said I worked there when really I was just seeing my mate.

I work at a supermarket as well. And if I had a nickel for everytime this happened....I'd have enough to pay it

Funny but just a mistake, after you explain to them that you work there I'm sure everything will be fine.

£60? Wow I would have said something to your boss.

They clearly need a better parking system...

LMAO! Wouldn't be Morrisons, would it?
