ASDA introducing Pay and display parking

But not Bank Holidays. Non of the Council car parks are free on a BH. That is a mistake that quite a lot of people make and end up paying handsomely for!

Guildhall is, however.
That is a thing that I wouldn't know now, if somebody hadn't insisted on giving me their ticket on a Bank Holiday a few years ago. I thought they were having me on, but could see that the date on the ticket was right - then I checked the signs. Free only on Sundays and Christmas Day (at that time, be sure to stay up to date).

Used to be free on bank holidays years and years ago. Then one Bank Holiday we saw someone about to put their money in the machine and stopped to tell them it was free that day.....then noticed the signs had changed.

I was under the impression that you could get your coins back at the manned checkouts, but apparently if you actually want that physical cash back (100% of the time I do) then you have to go to customer services instead.

Thanks Asda.

Dunno about that but I really don't understand why people keep patronising establishments that put barriers up to their convenience or make it hard for them to spend their own money as they wish.

I've said it before and no doubt I'll say it again but it's not like there's a shortage of supermarkets in Stafford.

Ive only been to Asda once since they started charging to park & that was only because MrLittleme was paying!

Sainsbury's is our regular shop place, usually we only go to Asda when we feel like taking a quick jaunt to a shop at 10pm because it's empty and rather therapeutic. I very, very rarely find myself in a position of needing to pay for Asda parking (three times so far, completely forgot once and lucked out on the timing) and it's usually just because it's the most convenient one when I'm lacking something the local Premiere doesn't have.
