I have lived in the Marbella building for five years and have witnessed the activities of Danny's/EZ towing from my window many times. Although I do not agree with the way they choose to treat their fellow man, I do agree that their would be serious parking problem in that lot if they had not been towing cars all these years. There are some borderline cases wherein they should've used more tactful judgement, but mostly, they tow illegally parked cars. They must get a million and one excuses from everyone whose car they tow, so I guess I can't blame them too much for being a tad abrasive.
Having been a customer of BJ's, Shoprite, and BBB for a few years, I have seen firsthand the mentality of many of the other shoppers there. Until recently many people would buy $100 worth of groceries, then steal a $300 shopping cart in order to walk them home. Now that the carts have locks, they are simply left wherever the lazy customers were last able to push them, sometimes even in the middle of the travel lanes. The entrance to the BJ's is filled with kids attempting to profit from candy bars that I can easily buy at cost by waking inside the store. The entrance to Shoprite is filled with filthy loiterers and employees who make sure the doorway is always consumed by a putrid cloud of cigarette smoke. the clothing donation bins are constantly being burglarized, and seemingly tons of empty boxes, rubbish, used diapers and chicken bones are routinely left in the parking spaces by my good neighbors on the other side of the tracks who can't be bothered to care about cleanliness.
The bottom line people, is that the towing company is but a cog in the wheel of this filthy machine. Also, I would not be surprised if much of their profits went to tribute. This is, after all, New Jersey. My advice is to stay away from that lot and its surrounding stores. If enough people do so, then perhaps all parties involved would find the proper motivation to clean up their act and improve the condition of that place. Until then, you can find me at A&P, Morton Williams, Shoprite Hoboken, Short Hills mall or anywhere but Metro Plaza. Thanks for reading :)
