Driver handed hefty fine for eating McDonald's in Starbucks carpark as others warned

A driver in the UK has been handed a parking charge notice for using a Starbucks car park to eat his McDonald's, without purchasing anything from the coffee giant.

Bob Sprink, from Bath, received the fine through his post box for £100 (€117) for using the car park for 16 minutes, without leaving his car.

According to the 50-year-old, he took a trip to McDonald’s on Fabian Way in Swansea with his partner, but after failing to find a free space in the fast-food chain’s car park, they nipped across to one outside Starbucks.
