To think that P&C spaces in supermarket car parks

[Braganza]

AIBU to think that where there is a pedestrian pavement down the middle of a supermarket car park, it would make far more sense to have the parent and child parking in a well lit area further away from the entrance. This would mean that the spaces would not get clogged up by drivers without children too lazy to find a space, and in some car parks could be in an area with less traffic.

Yes again, because people pull that shit at the WRONG people.

If they were not disablist, why have the posts been deleted?

fact that the provision of p&c spaces isn't out of the goodness of Sainsbury's heart, but to help higher spending customers use the service more easily.

I don't actually think parents with babies/toddlers are the higher spending customers, tbh Braganza. Wait until your DC are teenagers, your grocery bill will rocket!

'SN brigade' is offensive.

People see a thread like this and read an 'ist' where there isn't one. People just talking on a forum. There can NEVER be a p&c thread without someone bounding on and telling them they're all entitled, ungrateful and they should be grateful they're not disabled.

Whatever.

To appease you probably Claudius.

Ugh, 'Disablist Card' is a horrible term.

Usually said by people who say disablist things.

That is how it started though curious you used to get a sticker for your car.

The problem is that some people park badly, it is inconveniencing for anyone they park badly next to. It makes no difference if you have 0 kids or 10 kids.
Parent and child spaces don't solve that problem, they just make people feel entitled to a special space.

I notice your posts were deleted claudius. Why is that?

Yes, because I am that important I need appeasing. I might invade Poland or something otherwise.

My post was deleted because I was replying to the the disablist term that curious used.

Exactly Iaminvisible it is only shopping places that have P&C spaces in my experience.

This thread was never about disabled spaces, it was about a brilliant idea to move P&C spaces...

Then the self entitled 'babies don't shrink' it wasn't like this in my day appeared...

Followed by the entirely pointless 'disabled spaces' row.

Predictable.

I agree curious

My post is still there.

If your DD is disabled, then get a Blue Badge and your "problems" with parking will be sorted (hollow laugh).

sorry how is 'babies don't shrink' self entitled - can you elaborate?

I think moaning on and on and on about how your needs are the most pressing and you wouldn't be able to leave the house without a space the size of a small garden right next to the shop doorway is amazingly self absorbed - but I am unsure what self entitled means

Seriously? Laughing?

At what... My daughters hypermobility or the fact that its hard to get a newborn in a carseat into a car in a tiny space?

In the city were I live ther is a whole floor of disabled spaces. 99% of the time it is empty.

I wonder do they need quite so many spaces, there are also disabled space on every level, these are always used, but the floor that is exclusively disabled is always empty. I wonder why.

^ That was the first post to mention disabled spaces. People are going to respond to it.

So not entirely pointless

And I never said she was disabled, there you go again. You're relentless.

Gordy - I believe the point was that the spaces were nowhere near the doorway. Hth.

Hi all,

Can we please bear in mind the talk guidelines when posting?

Ta

gordy tbh whenever I've heard it used it's used sarcastically to new mothers, and I think it's unkind. It's just a bit unnecessary I think.

I'm laughing at the fact that you think it is easy to get a disabled space. You are either deliberately being obtuse or spoiling for a fight.

okay sadly no for me - gym later x
