      If I could give negative stars I would. We parked in a parking lot for some retail stores. We walked across the street to have breakfast at ****** because all the parking was full there. We took maybe 30 mins to eat and came back to go shopping at those retail stores. When we came out from shopping there was a boot on our rental car. We are here from out of town spending our money in this city and the man was literally parked right next to our vehicle that placed the boot on our car. $275 he said to take the boot off despite us going into the retailer. I asked why he didn't warn me that he would boot my vehicle and he proceeds to tell me that's not his job. I got angry as he proceeds to respond with aggressive vocabulary like telling me to go back to ***** after I told him we were here on vacation spending money on his town. Telling me he doesn't give a f*** and tells us he has a gun on him and tonget out of here before he increases the fee. Very disappointing experience. And companies like this, who hire people like him should not be operating a business that does what they do. When my wife called to file a complaint about the employee, they just hung up on her.

      Awful. Ate dinner at El Malo and went across the street after and came back to my car loaded up on a tow truck. Incredibly disappointing because all of the signs clearly say parking is for customers which I was. I didn’t think you stopped being a customer just because you leave the parking lot. The way I see it you are a customer when you spend money at an establishment and if there is a time limit on parking it should be clearly stated so the parking expectations are clear.

      This company is horrible. They prey on people and use the fact that their vehicle is in their possession against them. I parked in a lot that was supposedly okay for customers of Fat Cat businesses but apparently it wasnt. The man bullied me and told me I wouldnt be getting my car back if I didnt fix my attitude. He told me that he did feel sorry for me at first but that my attitude caused the price to continue to go up. He tried driving off while I was begging him to lower the price, threatening to call the police on me once I mentioned an attorney. I was charged my last $300. People are just trying to survive & this man got an immense amount of satisfaction bullying an ill woman into paying him her last few dollars. I hope they get shut down. I will be taking further action.

      Scum. They are con men. Charge whatever they want. Threaten women and call them out their names. Luckily I have video proof of them admitting they charge whatever they want so I will be taking them to court. Karma and God will deal with them and their ugly souls.

      I want to start off by saying that I understand that I am in the wrong here. I parked in a parking lot planning to eat there after, but just had to run across the street to grab something and was booted. but I have multiple issues with this, firstly, I was gone for 30 minutes max and I was planning to support the businesses in the area that I parked. another is how incredibly predatory this behavior is, as the My car he was watching someone walk onto the sidewalk, waiting for them to keep walking and then booted them. I feel it's incredibly distasteful business practice to be stalking people for their money. and now to the money, there wasn't a single posted sign that I saw that stated it was $250, that is an incredibly unreasonable amount of money for a parking violation in a parking lot filled with spots. I would also like to add that I was sobbing crying, and the *** thought it was to make a joke about how I'm not able to take money with me when I die (he was a very nice man my issues are not with him but the company practices). to which I responded yeah but I need to buy groceries, because $250 is more than I spend a month outside of rent. The amount of money that these people are making just in the time that I was there getting booted was over $1000 of other people with boots. I was parked directly next to the *** that was booting people, I just can't imagine being a human being and not being like hey by the way once you step onto that sidewalk, I have to charge you $250, because then I would've moved and never stepped foot anywhere near there again, what happened to warnings? what happened to actual government employees being the one to do this? This is ridiculous. I hope you ***s enjoy my money, because now I can't afford the gas to go home for Thanksgiving, so f*** you.

      Double booted my car and my wifes car both with one kid in the car. We stopped for 30 mins top to drop some stuff to a friend. It was unbeliveable.

      If I could give negative stars, I would. These guys are a complete scam and are the most money hungry people Ive ever met. They go to some pretty extreme lows to get you. You are being watched as soon as you enter the lot. Parked in a handicapped parking spot (with the tag on the mirror) of an open facility that we were going into had we not been ticketed. Was told they were closed and was given a $250 boot. The guy giving the ticket was insanely rude. Not really sure how this is even legal. We sat in the parking lot and watched the guy look into someone elses car and then drive away with no boot. Seems quite discriminatory.

      I just arrived and I stopped at a firefighter line but I was inside the car and when I got out I saw that a man was near the post and I noticed that he had put a boot on my tire, and I asked him why he didn't tell me to move if I was there in the car, and he spoke to me very harshly with lack of respect, and I saw that another vehicle did tell him not to park there and I took video I asked him why he let that car go and he put his boot on my car and what he told me was pay or I'll send you to have your car towed and there it will be worse for you and I had no choice but to pay. I want this company to be charged for lack of respect to the people who are doing this work and for everyone to be equal, not because I am a woman and Latina. And it is too much money that they charged to my card, It is not fair what they do,
