outraged! *rant*

No excuse for being rude or bad service IMO you are a customer - make a complaint they will prob ignore it then take it higher

Now if I go to the supermarket on my bike, I'll park in one of these, just because I haven't gone in the car makes no difference.

What am I? I second class citizen because I'm on a bike?
Oh sorry, of course I am.

rant over.

Its still rude/inconsiderate!!

Supermarket parking spots are intended for customers, no specification on which mode of transport, you are entitled to park in them regardless of what you arrive on. What I find rude is when people think tis helpful to park across two spots, at least on a bike theres ample room for others if need be

Unless, of course, you wanted to be a real supermarket terrorist and take up two spaces on a bike!

I really don't see the difference between taking one space with a bike or two spaces in a car .. you are still taking up one more space than you NEED too

Here's a really excellent article about why the customer is not always right.

If a busy car park then yes, it would make more sense to park up outside the shop, no point riding round looking for a spot lol. But if it's more convenient to just use a space then no I don't see a problem. I suppose there is the whole parking ticket thing in normal car parks, some car drivers may get annoyed that they have to pay for use of a spot, but supermarkets are free!

Sorry, I think I've forgotten what the whole point of this discussion was

If they think that you won?t support them when a customer is out of line, even the smallest problem can cause resentment.

very true and the reason for much b!tching in the workplace these days . Good article that!

Generally I park anywhere I feel like it (not disabled places..i am not that rude. I might do it one time and if someone asks i will just say i support Sunderland....now thats a disability). I do not give it a second thought...drive..park...get off...set alarm ...walk away ..easy.

As for the rude shop assistants, do yourself a favour an buy online wherever possible. This minimises your possible encounters with chavs and other forms of muppets.

If you do get into a slanging match with a little hitler, always leave by releasing a bottom burp just where they stand. Last time I done this I giggled like a 12 year old who had just won a bet, by running around the girls changing room after PE.
