I come in here and spend £300 every time, so you will refund my parking!

Quoth depechemodefan View PostI bet the country with the most scs is the US.
I'd put money on it-especially with the "entitlement" attitude I see almost daily working for a cell phone company. A cell phone is a luxury-not a necessity(my husband and I have them as we're never home-but still view them as a luxury item)Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes

Quoth greensinestro View PostYou know what gets me about this? You actually have to pay to park at a grocery store? Obviously this is not in the United States, because of the currency mentioned here. I have a bad feeling every store will begin charging to park in their parking lot, and they'll say "Oh, we have to maintain the lot and keep it upgraded."
In any case, unless you're just dawdling round like a moron, it shouldn't take you longer than 2 hours to do your shopping. Even if you do end up paying £2, you're getting £1.20 back so what's the problem?

What I find most amusing in this thread are all the cries of "oh, that doesn't happen in the US" and stuff. Especially when most of it has been the cause of suckiness on the part of SCs whose stories have been told right here.

Quoth smileyeagle1021 View Postam I the only person here who doesn't mind paying for parking? I mean it is a cost to the store and I'd much rather just have to pay for parking seperate than having it included in the price because that way I can avoid the cost by biking, walking, or taking the bus... included in the price i pay for it whether or not I use it.

LOL, they ALL spend $300 (Though 300 pounds is closer to 600 USD lol) EVERY week... Its even better when you are working at a place where the average total comes to more than what they are quoting at you.
My sister works at a mountain sports supply store, their average clothing total is around $400, she gets the morons all the time that insist that because they are paying $300 they should get free this or free that because they are *CLEARLY* one of the best customers this store will ever see. My sister used to work collections though and so, is prepared for this kind of crap. It was classic listening to her explain to a SC that this person still had $100 to go before he got into the "average" category, and if he wanted free stuff, he better start thinking about spending at least another $900. SC never knew what hit him the manager told her not to do it again, but was laughing so hard she didn't get in any trouble.

Quoth greensinestro View PostThat's a really great way to assure they get their carts back. God knows how many times I'll pass an Albertson's or Publix and I'll see some person walking down the road with a cart from there, literally walking off the property to wheel their groceries home. Then, they don't bother returning it.
I would love a system like that, make it 5 dollars though, more incentive. >:3
Course people will still go "Oh, a buck/5 bucks for a cart I can keep? Hells yeah!"I am a Blank Space for spacing purposes, ignore me.
In order to treat someone as your equal, you first need to believe both: that they are your equal, and that you are their's.

Can we try and keep on topic, people? Like Skarredmind. ^^ Start a topic on abandoned trolleys if you want to discuss it, just don't discuss it here.
And I said a page ago that the council owns the car park, not the supermarket. There are some other branches with free parking, but the main problem with that is idiots who leave their cars in the car park all day, and take up all the space. Hell, the local hospital still has problems with that; and they charge for parking. It's hell getting a space there due to all the selfish arseholes who leave their cars there and then walk down town to shop. -.- Just cuz the hospital charges about 10p less... grrr...

Getting back on topic here.. In my grandmother's old town, one of the banks tried to keep non-customer cars out of their parking lot. In their infinite wisdom, they actually hired a security guard to prevent their lot filling up. At the time, the town had a strict policy about on-street parking. Lots of meters all over the place. Several people parked in the bank lot to avoid paying and/or a ticket.
Having a guard didn't work very well. There wasn't much he could really do--by the time the tow truck got there, the stray cars were usually gone. Also, several "well connected" customers actually complained of harassment. Turns out that what they were doing, was parking at the bank, using the banking services...and then walking across the street to pay their phone, or other bills, or even to bail Bubba out of the drunk tank On returning to the lot, they'd get stopped by the guard.
Needless to say, those "well-connected" (politically and socially) people soon threatened to move their accounts. The bank caved, and got rid of the security guard. Now that the town no longer has parking meters (something about too much vandalism and theft...), the problem isn't as bad.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari
