Asda Hounslow car par is a total rip off - be careful I went shopping in the store was there only for 4 mins (Milk & Bread) total cost £2.75. On my way out I went to re-validate my car park ticket I was told to get a free parking a minimum spend should be £5 Called for a manager and she says that the carpark is privatised so we have to pay but if I spend £5 then I can get a free car park. If the car park is privatised how would they know how much money I have spent in the store to qualify for free parking (1st lie) After a bit of argument the manager says even she has to pay for the car park - note she works more than 5 hours which means a cost of min £7.50 car parking charge, why would you pay £7.50 x 5 days (2nd lie) No sign post out side the car park to advise the consumers of the minimum spend of £5 or you will be charged £1.50 minimum charge. Consumers have lost of option to go and buy their groceries Asda is not the only store. My personal opinion Asda is trying to recover the cost of refurbishment of the store from the consumers Please advise your friends and family of this little scam!
