Re: towing at shoprite?

Well, here's what happened to me today... I left the inner fenced in area of that property to go get money from an ATM at a bank located on the edge of the property, but still inside the outer fence. It was Friday, so I had to wait for a few other people first. As I was walking back towards ShopRite with my cash, I look over to where I parked my car and they were towing it! I waved the guy to stop, so he did. I asked him why he was towing a legally parked car. He said the "security company" for the parking lot said I went over to the mall, which yes- is on the other side of the street from the bank. I showed him my long grocery list I had on me and the money & receipt from the ATM. He told me I should call his supervisor. I pulled out my phone to call his bluff. As soon as I started to dial, the supposed "supervisor" pulls up in a crappy old red 2 door Toyota with no identification regarding the company on it. She wouldn't give me her name, and when I called her out on their scam- she proceeded to insult me, called me stupid and told me to learn how to read signs. I let her know that I knew the reason they picked my car was because it had a Florida plate & was an easy target, considering it wasn't right up front where it's busy with traffic. Since she wouldn't give me her name- I took her plate number, which pissed her off. She said "go ahead, it's registered under Danny's EZ Towing anyways." After she continued to insult me and start driving away, I told her that she better not come back and take the car anyways as soon as I went back into the store. She said "there's nothing you can do anyways, even if I do." What a b****! I proceeded to go into Shop Rite to talk to the manager & security. Neither would come out to talk to me, saying it's out of their hands. I finally got a girl at the desk to give me the landlord's phone number, who doesn't return calls. The bottom line is, I used an ATM on that property to spend the money at another business on that property and have paperwork/ receipts to back me up and they still made me give them $120 (cash only, of course). I will never shop there again, I can't afford the risk. I live less than 2 blocks away from the mall, and I work there. I never drive there, only walk. If I wanted to shop, I would still walk. The only reason why I took my car to ShopRite that day was because I was buying way too much stuff to carry. I have the lady's (if you could call her that) plate number & the landlord's phone number still, but I don't know if posting them is allowed. I will say the tow truck driver tried to be nice- younger guy in a white towing truck. He looked like he felt bad -maybe he's just trying to make a living, but the lady was absolutely horrible to me and karma is surely gonna kick her a$$ someday.
