Frustrated staff at a Coles-owned bottle shop have retaliated against drivers flouting parking rules outside their store, by seeking revenge on those found in their designated customer spaces.

Seemingly fed-up with people using the ‘customer only’ spaces outside the First Choice Liquor Market store in Newstead, Brisbane — which they own — management decided to take action. Photos show a car with P-plates blocked in by a yellow bollard with a note left on its back window.

The typed note addressed to the driver informs them of “the purpose” of the space which is to “have an available spot for customers” to park. It’s understood there is ample signage stating parking beyond 15 minutes is prohibited and that fines apply.

      Seriously. While the bollards are satisfying, it’s a form of theft - you’re imprisoning my property. Towing is the legitimate way of doing g that, plus leaves the spot open for an actual customer

        Isn’t towing even more a form of theft, though?

        But, yes. Imprisoning their vehicle on site, or taking matters into their own hands, can lead to significantly more drama for the store owners, to include risking damage and violence.

        Well, not your property, right? You’d never be so rude as to need action taken against you, right?
