A man has vowed to 'never shop at Home Bargains again' after he was fined £100 shortly after spending £317 in store. The shopper was left furious when he was hit with the hefty £100 fine for spending 'too long' in store, and has now warned others to be careful when out shopping at Home Bargains.
Andrew Bradley went on a shopping trip to Home Bargains with his wife Amey shortly before Christmas 2022. The pair headed to their local Home Bargains store in Stanley, County Durham to buy Christmas presents on December 21, in what they thought would be a simple trip.
The couple spent a whopping £317 in Home Bargains, and were frustrated when they found themselves in a lengthy pre-Christmas queue. But the pair were caught short by parking wardens after spending around two hours shopping, and were given a £100 fine for out-staying the car park’s 90- minute maximum time limit - despite having been made to wait in the lengthy queue.
