Ford says that most of its factories now banish the vehicles of other automakers from the prime spots in their parking lots, reports USA Today. The manager of Ford’s Dearborn Truck plant said last month that beginning Feb. 1, the most convenient parking spots could be used only by employees who drive vehicles built by Ford or one of its subsidiaries. Now, similar restrictions are being enforced at Ford factories nationwide. “The majority of our plants now have such parking policies,” said Ford spokeswoman Anne Marie Gattari.

In a related story, Ford announces factory parking lots will begin offering contract parking in a bid to generate additional revenue. “We have lots of space” says the manager of Ford’s Dearborn Truck plant.

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Maybe Ford should start building better vehicles…then maybe their employees would want to buy them.

You know a resteraunt is bad when you don’t see any of the staff eating there…
