Parking eye Asda fine - 15mins over

These limitations are mainly to punish people parking there who have no intentions of actually visiting the supermarket, but going elsewhere.

People parking in the supermarket car park and actually visiting the supermarket shouldn't be punished, be it 2 hours or whatever.

How do you prove you've been in a supermarket for 2hr 15mins?

There is the other problem though
eg Near to where I live is Wolstanton Retail Park with 5 large stores and you are only allowed (I think) 2 hours total.
They are 5 stores that women would go in all of them.
 
A supermarket will nearly always override the ticket if you show you spent money there and it was an unintentional mistake. Happened to me a couple of times.
 
"Wolstanton Retail Park"

I use it regularly (and wave at OcUK as I go past), there is insufficient signage at the entrances to the car park, so no Ticket/Invoice is enforceable.

Give it a try :)

One of my daughters came out of a store, tripped and broke an ankle, by the time the ambulance came she was well over her allowed time.
She rang the parking firm to explain what had happened but they still enforced the fine and weren't bothered about her trip to A&E.
She finally went to the store who either paid it for her or got it reversed.
 
I'm sure they would waive the fee if you can demonstrate you spent a reasonable amount of money in the store from a receipt or a bank transaction.

As others said... It's more a deterrent to stop people taking the mick.

For example my local sainsbury has anpr as there's limited parking in town, so every Tom dick and Harry was using it for free all day parking, which prevents genuine customers using it for its intended purpose.
Store loses sales and customers are put off of its always chock full.

Unfortunately this is why we can't have nice things.. There's always people who take advantage, it's just a shame there will always be fringe cases such as disabled /old people/ women etc. who dither and stop for a 20min chat when they should be shopping rather than socialising lol.

They have to draw a line somewhere and 2 hours seems pretty sensible to account for 99.9% of customers.

Or next to one of the cinema's near me is parking, you can use it for (from memory) 3 or 4 hours.
That's great when you arrive a few minutes early for a film that runs for 140+ minutes not including the trailers, or worse something like LOTR especially when they showed the extended cuts (or any of the movie marathons, IIRC they did one with all 3 extended LOTR films).
