Incurred £70 penalty after overstaying 10 mins in car park. This after spending almost £200 ( with daughter) in store.
Be warned.
Tescos for me in future

We wouldn't want to stay in Tescos car park 3 hours - any more than we want to stay in the Waitrose one for longer than it take to do the Waitrose shop and pop into Boots

Tesco don't charge. There may be signs saying that but some cars have parked there all day every day for years and have never been ticketed.

I thought that until I received three parking tickets in a row through the letterbox. An expensive lesson learnt. Take heed all, those cameras are logging your stay at Tesco car park.

So you stayed longer than you were supposed to and got a parking fine? What are you surprised about? That's how it works. Plus you get a ten minute grace period for private parking, so it was clearly longer than that as well.
Pay the fine, learn your lesson. It beggars belief people aren't able to keep track of time.

@Zero Cool - it was 10 minutes. Or less. I didn't claim to be "surprised" Look at my original where I said "be warned."
Perhaps try to be a little less arrogant in future

The reason that they've had to introduce monitoring is because so many people use it as a free car park to visit the farmer's market/visit Boots etc etc without ever doing any shopping actually in the shop. So they've had to introduce a penalty for people who do that. Maybe it won't be the complete nightmare it currently is in the future...

Who could possibly spend 2 hours shopping in our tiny waitrose and still only spend "nearly" two hundred , just saying , and if you are a regular I'm sure you won't want to go to tescos , go in and sort it out , thanks for the heads up , I shop there often did my Xmas shop just over £400 in forty mins , luckily they don't sell wool so I couldn't pull any over my eyes

How could they tell how long he'd parked for? The kiosk and barriers went years ago. I've never had to show my receipt.

At a guess it's because they've installed number recognition cameras, which I think they've also done in Tesco. Stick to the rules and you'll be fine. (Sticking to the rules involves not spoiling it for everyone else...)

Call Waitrose customer services and explain you have a parking ticket from their carpark provider - explain you were a customer that day (you may need to prove this with receipt or bank statement) they should contact the company on your behave and get the fine dropped. I'm saying this as this happened at Aldi with me - I was 20 mins over, but a paying customer on that day. They were very pleasant and dealt with the fine. The camera's are in place to stop non customers taking the P... not to penalise genuine customers.

You'd be best going to the manager/writing to them. Landowners have a right to cancel tickets, if they are administered by a 3rd party. Lost business is surely more important to them than a fine by a money grabbing POPLA company.
In a similar situation with a Sainsbury's car park myself.

Google your rights in these cases and do not interact with any third party company or part off with any money, they are just opportunistic scum. Have a go at the Manager of the store and point out that if his store had not been so busy, the checkouts so busy and the cup of coffee in the cafe area so tasty this sort of inconvenience would not have happened. but the golden rule is not to pay And thats a Fact

This whole "and thats a fact" character assumes its the middle of last decade when sketch shows with comedy characters who had catchphrases were still reasonably popular. It seems forced and cringey now, so not sure why they persist.
You're not "The Two Ronnies", you anonymous pillock, and sadly that is a fact.
