Money
Extortion
business.
STAY
AWAY,
All
shoppers!
My
family
with
a
baby
in
our
hands
had
to
wait
for
45
minutes
before
we
could
get
a
boot
removed
from
our
car
-
baby’s
schedule
was
disrupted.
The
mall’s
contractor
(an
EPS
guy)
just
laughed
to
our
faces
when
we
explained
we
are
first
time
visitors
to
Atlanta
and
had
no
idea
about
local
parking
practices
-
he
just
wanted
money,
and
in
cash.
Atlanta
based
company
Empire
Parking
Service
is
illegally
booting
vehicles
in
Atlanta
according
to
Georgia
Law
Code
OCGA
44-1-13.
This
is
the
Code
Section
that
allows
the
towing
of
trespassing
vehicles
on
private
property.
What
it
DOES
NOT
do
is
allow
the
booting
or
immobilization
of
vehicles
on
private
property
in
the
State
of
Georgia.
In
other
words,
it
is
illegal
to
boot
cars
in
Georgia
on
private
property.
[Found
out
this
after
the
fact!]
As
the
First
time
visitors
of
the
state
Georgia
and
Atlanta,
we
visited
The
WholeFoods
store
located
at
the
Midtown
Place
property
for
the
first
time.
Also,
while
the
car
remained
parked
there,
we
crossed
the
street
to
pick
up
baby
items
in
another
store.
In
Normal
cities
you
don’t
expect
a
trick
at
the
Shopping
Mall
parking
and
don’t
need
to
read
fine
prints
at
the
parking
signs
there
when
you
simply
go
shopping.
Enters
Midtown
Place
business
with
their
Deceptive
Business
Practices!
APPARENTLY
this
property
is
practicing
MONEY
EXTORTION
business
by
having
a
Rule
that
you
Can’t
Leave
the
property
without
your
car,
else
you
pay
the
fine.
EPS
is
the
company
they
hired
to
exercise
this
rule.
When
we
came
back
after
shopping
for
1h
we
had
our
car
Booted.
We
had
no
choice
but
to
pay
this
business
$75
(Yes,
$75!)
to
get
our
car
released.
Explanations
that
we
are
the
patrons
of
the
WholeFoods
store
didn’t
help,
the
guy
just
wanted
our
money.
Calling
911,
asking
Customer
Relations
at
the
WholeFoods
did
not
help
-
they
don’t
have
influence
here.
STAY
AWAY
from
this
unfriendly
place
that
is
robbing
first
time
visitors
by
having
ILLEGAL
parking
rules!
