Add parking, insert obstacle

Congratulations Tesco. This is a brand new Tesco, it was previously a co-op and the bays were painted in blue and yellow depending which tenant of the building they belonged to. Tesco bought out the whole car park and painted these brand new white bays. Which they then slapped the world's biggest trolley return onto, considering this is a very small Tesco. There are so, so many other spaces this return bay could have gone into, not least because people want them near their CARS not near the door, may as well just put them back inside. So even more parking spaces are obstructed by discarded trolleys. Well done, people, well done.

That is truly special. Such regard for potential customers!

And there I was irritated when our local Tesco took away their bicycle parking to put in an enclosed entrance thing which acts as a wind tunnel and trolley pinch point (just try getting into the shop without at least one running into you now). That's very minor by comparison.

Wow, that's pretty bad. Which Tesco is it?

That is stupid on so many levels. Aside from the obvious stupidity of building the thing over those parking spaces, the whole point of having a shopping cart return is so you don't have to bring your cart all the way back to the building, isn't it? Apparently they weren't thinking of what *any* of their customers would want, able-bodied or not.
