Now loss making and turning nasty. I parked at the Booths Kirkby Lonsdale store at Christmas 2023, spent over £30 in the store and left after just over half an hour. They hold out free customer parking for an hour. I have just received a menacing letter from their parking agents demanding £100. It masquerades as a fine in a way little short of fraudulent misrepresentation but in reality is just a trumped up erroneous invoice with arbitrary amounts and an arbitrary nonsense so-called “appeal” process - designed like everything else to mimic a penalty notice from a public body with public powers. Booths have a chance to do the decent thing and call them off but regardless no legal force unless awarded to their cowboy parking agents (Parkingeye”) in Court - which, of course, will never happen + I’ll happily see them there with maximum well-deserved adverse publicity for Booths - as should all their other victims. I used to love Booths and regard them as one of the best things the North West had to offer. I’ve even gone out of my way to support them by ordering their food from Amazon at my main home in London. I can now only assume they’re resorting to sharp practice in a foolhardy attempt to survive. Very sad and destined to accelerate their self-destruction.
