This company owns several parking areas throughout the city, including one that is connected to my apartment complex. Only those who apparently work for Mr. Mazz may park there; there are no parking stickers, tags, etc present on any of the cars that are generally parked there (indicating the ABILITY to park there). This morning, after dropping my fiance off at his job, I parked in the first spot (as it was barely 7 am and there was absolutely no parking on my street) of the ""restricted"" area.
An older man promptly drove up in an extended Taurus wagon and began berating me. I resisted the urge to be rude, and pleasantly wished him a ""Happy Saint Patrick's Day,"" apologized, and got in my car as he continued to aggressively yell at me. He then followed me six blocks around the city as I tried to find a place to turn around (my street is a one-way cul-de-sac).
I called the help line listed, also called the office. The woman on the help line was a bit confused about the situation, saying that the man was probably either a 'Jim' or a 'Joe.' I also called the dealership, which wasn't open, but not one voicemail had space.
I, in turn, called the police and filed a report against the man. What irks me is that there is no car dealership or auto mechanic ANYWHERE near where we live. The man also failed to show me any identification or badge; this could be processed as criminal harassment in civil court.
Courtesy goes a long way in my book. Don't waste your time with this place of business; if they are this protective over six $70 (ALWAYS EMPTY) parking spots, imagine how much money they'll make off of you.
