Parent and child parking spaces are a marketing ploy like bogof or putting the fruit by the front door, fighting over one is as demeaning as fighting over flat screen tellies on black Friday.
This is exactly the same as the train seat thread, we must either have etiquette or rules, if you make rules that are unjust people will ignore them and forget etiquette.
If the Titanic sank now should all the men drown, would a lesbian couple both be allowed in a life boat.

Parent and child spaces aren't unjust. This is exactly the same as the train seat thread, we must either have etiquette or rules, if you make rules that are unjust people will ignore them and forget etiquette.

As you say, the whole place is geared up as a marketing exercise to empty your wallet. You walk in the door you are targeted. Parking spaces, whatever the cynicism, is not really a big issue.This is exactly the same as the train seat thread, we must either have etiquette or rules, if you make rules that are unjust people will ignore them and forget etiquette.

Problem is in this society, there are people that think the rules need not apply to them when they choose (some think they are exempt for life). "Only hoping in for an apple, or to use the cash point, won't be a minute". etc. etc.

This is true. Ultimately, it is about etiquette and basic civilisation. Dropping to the same level as the L'Oreal monkey somewhat undoes your argument.

Amusingly I had some indignant prat come up to me as I was getting out of my car parked in a baby/toddler space at a service station at the weekend. I just ignored him as I turned back in to get the children out of the back of the car. Even once he realised there were children in the car he decided to then be angry that I had ignored him.
Some people are just angry at their lot in life and try and use other people as cheap medication. The fact that this woman flipped an abandoned her car in the middle of the car park then tried to ignore instructions to park properly just highlights that she has problems the same as the scrote who parked in the wrong place also.

At the end of the day, if it's a parent and child space, why park in it without children, it pisses people off.
Same as the selfish idiots who think parking at junctions, on zig zags, on double yellows is OK for them, the rules don't apply to them.
They deserve what ever they get.
It's because they think the world revolves around them. They lack empathy and are probably narcissists. The idea that a space is provided for someone and they aren't eligible really pisses them off so they park there anyway. Unfortunately this kind of me me me, selfishness is becoming more common as these selfish people isolate themselves and view all other people as the enemy who are out to get one over them with their children and big parent and child spaces.

60 pages and this is still rattling on?!
It still seems simple, it's their land so their rules and Tesco and other supermarkets are pretty fking ruthless and they wouldn't have these spaces if it didn't bring them more customers than not having them would.
I'm not sure why it's so difficult to understand and simply park in a normal space, or if it really gets you choking on your own rage just go elsewhere - it really isn't proving much a of a point if you still end up handing them your money.

People getting angry about parking spaces and making deep, psychological evaluations of people who park in them need to take a step back and relax!
I sometimes have my nephew with me and the back seats are rarely used in the car so I have a child seat permanently attached. As such I can park in the parent spaces and relax knowing my car won't get scratched by someone who can't park/push a trolley etc. It's just a bonus that these spaces happen to be right next to the entrance. I'd still use them if they were at the back of the car park.

I tend to go for the disabled spaces as they are generally closer to the door and I get to demonstrate my Tourettes to anyone who complains. 
Not what I'd do, but made me smile.
