Just checked my Asda bill as usual to see who was cheaper and Morrisons would have cost me just short of £10.00 more on my weekly shop
How did you check this, not Asda Price Checker by any chance
.
And guess what, surpirse, surprise in today's Weekly News there's a story about Asda's cowboys attempting to extort £40 from a pensioner who committed the heinous act of shopping in Asda in Llandudno
.
Unfortunately the article is seriously let down by numerous references to a the man in question receiving a "fine". SMART Parking (ironic name) cannot issue fines, no private company can issue a fine. What they send out are little more than begging letters, albeit begging letters designed with the intention of misleading people into believing that they have some sort of legal standing and unfortunately Judith Phillips of the NWWN has fallen hook, line and sinker for the scam as well as the chap who recieved the fake "fine" in the first place
.
Still at least it's negative publicity of a sort for Asda and maybe if enough of these stories emerge in the future they might find a more ethical method of controlling the use of their carpark than by showing the complete disregard and lack of respect to their customers that they are showing at present.
