visited morrisons earlier...

[superavon]

i entered the car park to find that the entire one half of the car park is for parent and child...the remainder were several hundred yards further from the store.With several spaces for disabled(with which i have no complaint) it left little for others. Upon walking from a space that i eventually found i observed adultswith children of 14 years plus parked in the parent and family spaces.I find this very frustrating ,or is it just me being horrid? Ialso now see that child seats are kept permanently fixed in the cars with no child in tow....obviously to give the impression to any car park patroler that they are ok to park there.
Wont be going to that store again.

you could always go at a quieter time, saturday is always horrendously busy

[superavon]

true.....but that does not stop the abuse of the facilities by these people which are usually woman driving cars that are too big for them

[cazzz1975]

have you mentioned it to customer services? if not you should, or maybe write a letter of complaint to the store manager

[sara3]

lol.. here we go...

[Nibble]

There is a queue to get into our Morrisons at the moment, the car park is stacked, but we only have a dozen or so child and disabled spaces. Often abused, meaning people genuinely needing them can't get in.

I have a problem with drivers who have no kids with them parking in the parent & child spaces when I'm looking for a space when I've got Little Tiggs with me. I end up parking far away from the store where there are several ordinary spaces that are empty.

[elgreco]

Several hundred yards????
How big is this Morrisons store?

[cazzz1975]

It must be pretty large, one half of the entire car park has parent and child spaces

[ummmm]

Jeeez....

I park as far away from the doors as possible. Walking for app 2 minutes is hardly hard work...

I don't really understand why there even needs to be parent and child spaces, I didn't see any when I was younger an my mum managed. I don't have any children though so am not really in a place to comment on their usefulness. :c)

[superavon]

i can understand your frustration Tigger guess it works both ways, I may visit the local market and see if i can get a child seat and then park on p and c and thus join all the other thoughtless folk. lol
It is a large store and yes several hundred yards so no need to imply i am either exagerating or fibbing

[cathfromsaron]

you need to complain if you want things to change.

i even observed disabled badge holders parked in mother and child spaces in tesco today!

[sara3]

China, when kids are very young you need to open doors wider to get baby seats in and out.

other than that.. no idea!

[craft1948]

The daughter plays hell every time I want to park in one..........

[sara3]

Steve, "female" shoppers in particular :o)

[ladybirder]

Some of you have no idea. When my children were small there was no such things as mother and child spaces. I had no car and had to drag a week's shopping for 5 of us home up a hill. So boo bl00dy hoo. Now I'm an OAP and arthritic I can't park anywhere near the doors of the store but I'm not complaining cos, guess what, walking's good for you.

[ummmm]

It's not cheap to fix a dent caused by a child throwing the door open. They should have more spaces...

[elgreco]

I wasn't implying that you were exaggerating. I was just surprised. Several hundred yards further from the store seems to sggest that the car park extends for a quarter of a mile or more. Are there other stores on site?
