Re: It Pays To Complain.
Tesco's home delivery service is better than Asda's. They rarely have items 'out of stock'.
Asda 2 -Tesco 1

Tesco deliveries have severely reduced the number of carrier bags they use and award you points for asking for the bags to be limited
Asda 2 - Tesco 2

Re: It Pays To Complain.
Complaining is good for the customer and for the business: the customer gets better service if the complaint is valid, and often the businesses are driven to give better service. Remember the old saying, "it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease."

Nothing will be done because the able bodied person you refer to is not doing anything wrong. An able bodied person is allowed to use the blue badge when they have the registered disabled badge holder in the car. The badge is allocated to the person, not the vehicle.

Blue badges are allocated to the registered disabled who use the car, either as a driver or as a passenger.

If you are a badge holder, it can only be used for your benefit. If a trip is for someone else and you are a passenger and staying in the vehicle, you cannot use the badge simply to let them benefit from free parking.taken from blu badge rules The Blue Badge parking scheme : Directgov - Disabled people yoy get real

As long as the vehicle is being used for the disabled person's benefit there is no crime being committed.
