    Waitrose Altrincham parking - 15 min drop off parking

    I like to use the 15 min drop off for short stay parking. Anyone, know how strict they are for enforcing the 15 min waiting period? I like to park there for 30 mins at least.

    Also, what's the best time to get free coffee from Waitrose, sometimes those queues go on forever?

    Yes, they are enforcing it. I recently tried to park there for 12 minutes but I was forced to stay for a further 3 before being allowed to drive off.

    Not on Thursdays when the locals have just picked up their pensions.

      ahh good to know. I accidentally parked there whilst attempting to do a 3 point turn, not sure of the rules I ended up blocking the road for 14 mins to ensure I met the 15 min criteria.

          There is a definite need for a parking sub forum. And perhaps, like with the tax evaders, a special sub forum for people who deliberately breach parking rules.

            I did a Christmas shop there once.

            Bit overrated. Ample parking though.

            I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

              Parking specifically for a car, or for an alternative form of transport....?

                Have you been lately, it’s gone all hipster!

                Bit pretentious now.
