hi just like you all to be aware that if you go to some fastfoods outlets, that your number gets recorded and if you need to return within 90 minutes that you will be charged an additional £125 for the pleasure 
in july I stopped to get my daughter a burger at 16.28 and had to wait in a bay while the order made up this was a drive through. at 18.40 they have got me as leaving. that was the second time when i got my son a burger the time i spent there on the first time could have been no longer than 15 minutes and the second for ten minutes so how do they work that out as, 90 minutes also if you drive through how can you be parked

OK.... I am a little lost on this one!!
Where does the £125.00 come into it? Have McD's charged you this, the police?... who?
As for parking on a drive through order, I always get told to park up because I always order a burger with just onions and they have to make it up specialially so they ask you to park up while they cook it and not hold up the queue. Also means I always get freshly cooked food!!

hi it came in the post they now have 75 minutes max parking and no return within 90 minutes so how they work it out beats me its now with the branch who have said this is the first time this has happened and they will try to sort it. it was posted as a civil parking notice.
i will probably get another one for today went today to read the notice on the car park at 9am and took the notice to the manager at 10.20 for him to sort out. it doesnt seem to matter how how long you spend in there its if your in there again before the 90 minutes are up. got to go back tomorrow to get picture of sign because that has nothing about no return within 90 minutes

do they have number recognition cameras or was it someone checking manually?

BP at Gatwick was doing exactly the same thing using APNR cameras.
anyway, the short of it was the guys on this forum got the loop holes out and people got off fine free, something to do with the driver is responsible not the reg keeper of car and also the wording of the ticket.
It makes for some interesing reading and I certainly won't pay the ticket until you contact these guys above.

That's why, instead of greasing the palms of the nefarious capitalist Multi - Nationals, you should support your local chippie, all parking is gratis ( it's free too !!! )
No poncy French Fries and Skinny Latte Mocca there, just good old fashioned fine upstanding British stodge with chips.

Not with the sort of chippies you get around here it ain't 
Sounds like when the motorway services started charging people to park up for a nap. These big companies don't give a cuss for the customer or the workers anyway

I could see that going down really well over this side of the pond. Hell they even tried copying the brits with the speed camera's on local roads and highways, that lasted a few days until all the local builders and red-necks went out with circular saws and cut the lot of them down. Needless to say they soon scrapped the idea of speed camera's

it was sent by a debt collection agency working for mcdonalds. hopefully it wont get sorted out by the manager and then i will be able to go to court. and it does work by number plate recognition. never did i think i would get a ticket going to the same place twice, i will keep you posted

Fined for going there twice ....they should be rewarding their regular customers, not fining them
This is outrageous & hopefully MuckDonalds will realise that they are in the wrong & offer you compensation for causing you grief & wasting your time....good luck

obviously the data protection act does'nt apply to these companies, they must be getting your details from the dvla. just makes me wonder who is entitled to access this information.

Hi,
This seems like complete nonesense...
.. countless examples.. never mind the obvious - the vendor wants anyone who buys a product and stays for less than 30 minutes to return as often as is humanly possible :? ... further, application to vehicle or driver? (i.e. one car - person A visits vendor goes home; person B uses same car to visit vendor within 90 minutes? - cannot necessarily know of previous visit, etc.) ... taxi, passenger A - take me to burger vendor, passenger B - take me to burger vendor...
Oh well... all good. I would imagine the contractor clearly hasn't been employing brain in any of this... else they would have observed you were only their for a few minutes (even drive through, etc.) and similarly when you returned... The objective is to stop people using it for free parking either as customers who sit in the restaurant all day or use it as free parking to visit somewhere else... legitimate customers not taking the mick are not the ones to be targeted - lol. Guess they are still learning and tuning their procedures / brains, etc. .
Best wishes,
Scorpio Fan
