Come to some agrement. Free meals and you will park somewhere else.

I think you are having us on - do you only target restaurants in your pest control business ? Also, if I wanted pest control I would want a company that ERADICATES rather than REDUCES rats.
If you are for real, I can see why the manager is annoyed. I think I would be unlikely to go for lunch in a restaurant with that van parked outside. Legally though, he cant stop you parking there.

No he can not but I would suggest that a little bit of common sense is needed on your part. Look at it this way any hint of rats and vermin being out of control in his restaurant and his business goes down the tubes. If you are not working there give the man a chance and do not park their and even if you are as a courtesy I would move the van after I have unloaded and return it only to unload. Is the van yours? May I suggest a discrete lettering

As long as you are not breaking any parking restrictions, then of course you can park where you like. But if I were you, I would definitely get the sign on my van changed to something a lot more subtle for the sake of your own business.

If it is a legal parking spot you can park there, but come on...can you not understand why the restaurant owner doesn't want your vehicle there?? Be a good person and find a different spot otherwise he will probably go out of business because people will think his establishment has rats!!

Hmmm I have no legal knowledge but I would say that you are right, if there are no parking restrictions and your van is legally MOTd, taxed and insured then you are fully within your rights to park your van there. However I have to ask, do you not think it's a bit inconsiderate to do so and how might you feel if the shoe were on the other foot?

Do you own this exterminating business?
If not, then I would suspect you should be looking for new employment, because the Owner is going to cancel his contract with the company.
If you are the owner, then you will lose the account.
And if you are not exterminating rats in the restaurant, but you park outside it for grins, you will likely lose everything (the business, your home, everything except the family bible and tool of the trade worth less than $10,000) because what you are doing is defamatory.

yes you can park whereven you want as long as it is not restricted parking.
However, I can see why this guy is getting a little upset by this. Maybe there is some kind of agreement you can reach, like you will try and find another place to park in exchange for a discount.

If you are eating in this establishment, then NO, he can't say you can't park there. The message on the truck isn't really something that would draw people into the restaurant but if that is the only vehicle you have, what are you going to do. If you are not eating there or working in the restaurant, then you shouldn't be parking there.

Nice try. Parking your truck there constitutes trade libel because it implies to the public that the restaurant is unsanitary. Expect to see his process server with a copy of a restraining order & maybe the police (for violation of the city advertising ordinances) shortly.

He receives dissatisfied "for some reason"??? of route, on condition that you're providing to park outdoors yet another eating position if paid, you already know precisely why he's dissatisfied. even if it truly is inner most parking he could have you ever towed. even if it truly is public parking yet he can teach that you purposely interfered inclusive of his organization he could probable record a civil in good structure for damages. in case you truly make an grant to park outdoors his competitor if he will pay you, he may take care of to make a case for extortion. both way, you seem to be a jerk for interfering with somebody else's livelihood.
