I watched a guy putting a begging notice on a car parked in a disabled bay in Sainsbury's, Otford road, Sevenoaks.
There was a sheet of A4 in the car, visible in the picture I took, here is the story...
A Frail old lady and her helper had parked in the space, but the old lady had forgotten her disabled badge. The helper went into the store and asked at the help desk, where they helpfully printed out an authority to park in disabled bay, whereupon a member of staff signed and dated it. The helper went back to the car and placed it face up on the dashboard.
A weasel came along and looked at the permit which had 'Sainsbury's' written on it and cleverly made a phone call (I witnessed all of this). He never went into the store to ask, but ended up writing a begging note for an obscene amount, and leaving it on the windscreen.
( i went shopping)
I came out and saw the old lady and her helper, complete with shopping trolley, staring at the windscreen, and so I went over to show them my photo and explain about taking both the 'begging note' and the authority from Sainsbury's to the store helpdesk to get the ticket cancelled.
The old lady was very confused and also annoyed as she had never had a blot on her name in her whole life. The helper took my advice including the terms 'Manager' and ' not take no for an answer" and after seating the lady in the car, she stormed like a tank heading for the enemy, towards the store.
No idea on the outcome as I had to leave, but my best guess is that the dear old lady will not be paying her pension to the thieving scumbags who run the car park.
I read the authority from the store. It had their store name, the authority to park in a disabled bay, the date, and the name and signature of the member of staff that signed it.
Human:- "oh, a printed authorisation, I'll just go check with the store that it's genuine."
Bottom feeder on the phone "Boss, it says permit on it... ok, i'll stick a notice on it."
How many parking attendant make a thickett?
