To think it is appalling Asda are using disabled spaces?

[NightSpot]

For their click and collect orders?

Our Asda has a hut in the middle of the carpark. During lockdown understandably this became busy and was blocking the flow of traffic so they moved click and collect to the side of the store. All fine.

Went to get my order for the first time ina few weeks and realise they have now moved it to the other side of the carpark.. using the disabled bays as the collection point.

Yes, they have other disabled bays, but as I understood it they needed a certain amount or they wouldnt have been originally installed? When questioned, they said it was because they are only using one of the entrances, "hardly anyone " was using them. Surely that is not the point? They are there for a reason! And the queues to the entrance they are using are quite often up to these ones anyway so the person would have to walk further to reach the end of the queue!

@SoloMummy - I take it you haven't read any of the thread.

Supermarkets have way in excess of the minimum number of disabled spaces required by law.

Since "the law" doesn't mandate any number of spaces - either as an absolute number, or a ratio to regular spaces, then they can't have an excess by definition.

Clearly there are some folk out there who have devoted their posting energies to pumping out the impression that the disabled in the UK clearly have too good a life of it and continued feeding the old trope that the disabled really need to work a lot harder at not being disabled.

Imagine if someone went on a thread and said "BAME folk are over provided for ...." ?
