The bays operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no booking necessary. Visitors will receive a free Tesco Finest hot drink and a biscuit, hand-delivered to their car windows, with a choice between tea or coffee while stocks last. It is one drink and one biscuit per visitor, subject to availability, and customers are requested not to stay for more than 30 minutes.
Park & Pause bays are designed for customers to pause and gather thoughts before heading into the store, continuing their day, or going back home. They coincide with the Quiet Hour already in place at larger Tesco stores every Wednesday and Saturday mornings between 9 am and 10 am. ' New research by Tesco found that 42% of Brits admit to nipping to the grocery store to enjoy a 'few minutes to themselves'.
The specific items offered and how availability may vary by store are not detailed, nor is the number of bays available at each location or the process for Tesco ambassadors to ensure timely service. It is unclear if there are any restrictions on who can use the bays, such as age requirements or vehicle types.
