I was informed by a member of staff that the car in the bay was a Supermarket Manager.....
I thought about creating a fuss but was wary that they could have painted out the lines and said, "Fcuk bikers." then. ____________________ W-ireless A-rtificial L-ifeform L-imited to O-bservation P-eacekeeping and E-fficient R-epair |

Have you sent that as an email to head office?

I take it that parking bay is nearest to the door so that the lazy manager doesn't have to walk far?
My local Sainsburies has an 'M/C only bay' right in the furthest corner possible away from the door, on the other side of the carpark. On the plus side though - No cars park anywhere near it, let alone on it. |

No point really sending them an email or message as you haven't got the number plate so if it is a member of staff at the store it wont make an ounce of bother. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

Kick-up shit.
I was at a Tesco today and couldn't find any M/C parking but plenty of mums-with-kids all bloody empty as it was during a school day!

They take customer service pretty seriously, especially as they're currently losing market share, head office won't be too impressed when you tell them the store manager is preventing bikers from shopping there. Remember to tell them it's out of the question to use car bays as cagers tend to knock bikes over, and that when you complained verbally about the parking space no action was taken even though they knew who the car belonged to.
They want your business - make them bloody well work for it. |
I completely agree Andy, and from what I read and see around me, there are more people using bikes to commute on than ever before, which means that bike parking spaces should be available for bikers to use. I bet if the car owner had parked in a disabled bay that a disabled someone wanted to use there'd be a big stink about it, so why should a bike owner not make the same stink? ____________________ Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

I though the M.C bay was for the Managers Car
Most council car parks have motorbike bays, but hell if I can find them! |
