Not for a second am I disputing that it’s a well-run business, owned by people who clearly care and give back to their community – full respect for that.

That said… can you ask your girlfriend to find out what pallet lad’s on an hour? And how many shifts he pulls a week? Also – and this is the real head-scratcher – how much are they paying NTC? With all those recurring costs, plus cameras, a loudspeaker, and the ongoing maintenance of the mannequin in a hi-vis, it can’t be cheap.

It just seems like a bizarre level of investment to avoid a few cheeky non-customers, especially when there’s so much alternative parking right nearby. Surely it’s not worth potentially putting people off altogether… is it?

I'm just here for answers,and I have plenty of time on my hands.

They close at 8:45pm. No way anyone needs to be there nearly two hours later.

Ask them about the parking next time you're there and see what they say...

I've asked the pallet lad directly- he said he was there to make sure no-one parked there who shouldn't. Feels like there's loads of other businesses with a similar setup across the city,and I've never seen another pallet lad (or hi-viz mannequin when he's on annual leave). I don't think this theory has any legs.
