I am finding more frequently that car guards are drinking on the job and are almost harassing people who shop at centres.
I have found that even if I don’t exit the car and my wife or children quickly run in, that car guards still expect payment.
Guards do not prevent car theft; you are simply hijacked in a different location, possibly in your own driveway at gunpoint and on some occasions they enter your property putting your family’s life in danger.
I prefer to support shops where I don’t have to deal with irritating car guards.
I believe that shopping centres should divide parking areas to include or exclude car guards so that shoppers can decide for themselves if they want to make use of such service.
I wasn’t surprised to read about armed robberies in some of our local shops where the car guards saw nothing and couldn’t offer credible information to police.
Thank you to shopping centres that have kept these people away from their premises.
