I suspect that the British love-in with anything/anyone associated with the NHS may well have induced these staff to ignore the charges, assuming that no-one would dare ask for their money. I suspect if the Company waived these charges they would be setting an unwelcome precedent for themselves....
What I loved has been those claiming "we had to park illegally as we'd have been late for our shifts otherwise".

Novel idea, leave for work earlier if you're having problems parking.
