'Tesco fined me £35 for visiting twice in one day - I will never shop there again'
A woman says she will 'never go back to Tesco' after she claims the supermarket chain fined her £35 when she visited twice in one day. The woman has called the ordeal 'frightening', and says she does not want to 'risk' shopping at Tesco again.
The woman says she thought that after dropping by for groceries in the morning there was no harm in popping back to the shop that evening to fill up on fuel. However, she says days later she received a parking fine in the post – accusing her vehicle of being in the car park of the Tesco Extra in Whitfield, Dover, for 10 hours.Emily, a charity manager, said: “We are being treated like criminals, there is no innocent until proven guilty.
Now, Emily says she will be giving her custom to Lidl in the future after voicing her disappointment at Tesco for how they handled the situation. “I am deeply disappointed in Tesco - I am not going to risk being their customer again,” said Emily. “We had to give our time and energy to get this resolved when we did not do anything wrong. I think it is a money-making tool for Tesco and the parking company. Because you are told the fine is less if you pay within 28 days, most people will pay it because they don’t want the hassle.
