The fact dude could just chill in a McDonald’s all day spotting cars tells you that the McDonald’s management is in on it. They’re all splitting up the money 💰
The company is doing a similar scam with the ice cream machines that need to be fixed by a very specific company. To fleece franchise owners out of their earnings.
this happened to my friend’s mother car. so since I was staying over at my friends house, her mother decided that we could get KFC for dinner. When we arrived we parked we and headed inside to order. and not even 5 minutes later, a tow truck was taking my friend’s mothers car away. she ran up to the driver and told him to stop but he assaulted her by palming her face almost giving her a broken nose and tried to drive off but thank god someone called the cops and he got arrested for physical abuse.
That spotter is definitely getting cash for doing what he's doing, seeing as how fast he does it and the fact that tow truck driver charged $217 when the state mandated cost is $65.50
@Gene Yuss right! The sign is clear, like you said. If the person parked their car and was in another store for an hour I can see why you tow them. But someone who leaves for 5 mins? Who knows why they left, to me that's not as serious as someone who is gone for an hour.
He might give him a deal on their car , if the person or people don't come retrieve it... but the trick is either walked through find a receipt on the ground or purchase an item and walk through the other side
actually you can, the tow truck driver needs to have documentation of the tow before the car even leaves the lot. No documentation when leaving the lot can be considered an illegal tow.
The issue is not whether the car owner has done something wrong. The issue is the size of the tow fees/fine. Would you still feel you had been treated appropriatly if the tow cost $3,000?
Dom Vyv yea it’s an ass move I can’t argue that at all, however from what I’ve heard (and I could be wrong, if so correct me) it’s legal for them to do that, they were given a warning if they can’t head it, then that’s on them.
The sign literally says if you’re not a customer and leave the parking lot you will be towed? How is this unfair? If this wasn’t regulated then customers wouldn’t be able to park.
My brother is an entrepreneur and when he was starting a new company he considered towing but he changed his mind because he couldn’t stand the fact that he would make a living off of causing other people misery and the only encounters he would have with his clients is being hated on.

How would the tow truck driver know that car was the one? It took 8 minutes from parking it for the tow truck to show up. That person could have been meeting with someone in the parking lot and just hadn’t gone into McDonald’s yet. It’s illegal to do what they were doing.

@@hugochen2293 The link that you provided, is not relevant.... Wanted to know why?.... Because this particular McDonald's restaurant displayed a private property parking sign..... And you always obey the sign, no matter what....
OrangeOVA there is another video with the exact same tow company and McDonald’s who tried to tow people who went inside the McDonald’s, which is illegal towing because they didn’t break any rules. As well as tried to fine them 400 dollars. The tow company is being investigated now.
What's the point of this segment...It's clearly mentioned that this is a private parking lot only for Mac customers.... perfectly agree with the tow truck guy....that's his job
I mean the spotter was an employee, if I owned a business I'd tell my employees that if u see someone park their car and walk away to call the tow truck
What was left out is they were towing folks that were still McDonald . One you tuber confronted him on this. A few days later the tow truck guy saw him and started a fight . He was over charging and demanding cash only
1. using a spotter is illegal 2. over charging for the tow is illegal 3. paying the manager of the mcdonalds kickback is illegal... you understand that the tow truck driver can be put in jail right? the car owner has no such fear but having a towed car
Diavolo De Angilo The tow truck driver should’ve been a lot less aggressive and he most likely wouldn’t have been in the situation maybe but I guess we’ll never know
Blantently walking off the property IS reason to tow. Towing while the customer is still in the McDonalds is NOT right. That was the reason this location got in trouble in the first place.
laurenme3 No, patrons who were inside the McDonald’s were having their vehicles towed as well. That is why there was a problem. Anybody who parks in a private parking lot deserves to have their vehicle towed, because they can’t take the extra minute to read and find somewhere else to park.
This is only part of the problem go look at 98snakeeater TH-cam page. This tow truck company was towing cars by one wheel. Incorrectly towing and drive cars damaging the drivetrain refusing to provide receipts. There’s a lot of things they were doing incorrectly.
It's pretty simple, just follow what the sign says, and don't park there and walk off! Stupid story of people getting upset because they don't like the lot rules GROW UP PEOPLE!
@@Donte821 Then anyone can park there with those excuse and abuse the system im sure i don't need to explain plain and simple this vid sucks lol probably had no content had to go out of the way to report on something so stupid.

@@niceguy6837 except this McDonald’s and tow company got busted for towing paying customers who were just eating inside. Which is exactly why I would avoid any business that had a sign like that up.
How would you like it if your parking lot was full of cars that belonged to people that weren't spending a dime at your establishment? I deal with this all the time at my place. I've had several cars towed off the lot. Literal signs everywhere. Including around my dumpster the whole neighborhood thinks is a community dumpster. Had to build a cage around the thing.
I'm actually with the McDonald's manager on this one. You wouldn't want people parking their car at your restaurant's parking lot only to be going somewhere else and not inside the your business place. *Especially* with a small restaurant with limited space specifically only for your customers. Without that rule and sign, small businesses would have trouble getting customers to their place because there's no nearby parking space for a potential customer to park at and shop.
Used to park my car in a huge empty parking lot for about a year when there was no parking anywhere around my apartment which happened very often. One day I realized my car was gone and thought it was stolen, found out there was a single small hidden sign all across the lot which said no vehicles allowed overnight. Got my car back after paying $400 fine.
He's just doing his job 😂😂😂 Also inside edition is like the 6th grade snitches (Update) you wouldn't be ok if some white nigga pulled his phone out and kept getting in your face like "HE'S STEALING MY CAR" that'll just make a scene. I can understand why the tow truck driver lost his temper. Just let the man do his job and tow cars my God it didn't have to come down to inside snitches to harass this dude on his job
Yall another guy has a video on this same McDonald's he was a CUSTOMER with a receipt and the tow truck still tried to tow them. There was a blue truck that went by spotting people and within a minute the tow truck came by towing people. Even tried to tow a lady that had just walked out of McDonald's that was legally parked in the handicap spot she had also got food there.
Except In this situation nobody went inside the McDonald's or brought anything. Which is breaking the rules. Which is why the tow truck driver towed them. Because like idiots they walked off without buying and broke the company rules.
It’s a different if someone spending hours and hours. But literally 2mins. Usually the put a sticker on ur windshield to let you know they about to tow it.
I completely disagree with inside edition. Anyone else? Since it’s the McDonalds worker, with signs etc, on THEIR lot, of course the cars should be towed if they aren’t customers
Time doesn’t matter at all. If they’re not going to McDonalds...which is what the lot is for...then you get towed. Would you be ok if someone parked in your driveway then went to visit a neighbor?
Tell me... It happened before that I went into the parking lot of a fast food restaurant and the only empty space I saw was being used right in front of me and the lady just went across the street instead of the restaurant... This people complaining make me sick. If I done this before in an emergency: yes. But I wouldn't complain.
EXACTLY. It just baffles me that she’s making it seem like it’s the tow truck drivers fault and harassing “ the spotter” It’s his job and if you don’t want to get towed.. maybe don’t park where it says you shouldn’t? SMH
@@giofloresThe sign is wrong according to what? & if anything the fine is too small. people who bring their cars into the city and think they can park wherever they please don't deserve to catch a break. these people cause more congestion for those who actually live in the city.
Bruh the way he carried himself you can tell the tow truck guy was a schemer and that McDonald’s worker was problem a homie along with the manager he probably gives some cash to
I agree. I actually felt kinda bad for him. I have had my unfortunate share of parking tickets but im not blaming anyone but myself. This video actually got me a little upset. They really tried to make the tow driver look like the criminal her. This is not a case about morality, its about law and business.
"is it fair?" Why wouldn't it be fair? It's private property. If you're not consuming and making use of the parking lot for personal reasons then yes, it's fair.
But there should be a a time limit for that to happen. Let's say if you're not inside McDonald's after 15 mins, your car can be towed. 3-8 mins is way to less.
Nik Savage there is a wait time before police arrest you, depends if you broke a civil law or criminal law, this looks more like a civil case than criminal
At first I thought this was a story about car thieves using tow trucks to steal cars. (That was before I watched the video) But then I actually watched the video.
Sombrero dog Not slightly wrong at all. The sign is there for a reason. Whether it’s 60 seconds or an hour, the sign says exactly what will happen so people know the consequences they just don’t care until their car gets towed.
Str8 Villains do you want some random person calling somebody on you the instant you do something wrong. It’s illegal in NY to have spotters calling tow trucks.

@@thaterasound You watch and listen dumbass. She quoted the sign. "If you leave the premises for any reason, you can get towed". Never did she say or show someone that went inside McDonald's being towed.
But it’s private property... If I parked my car in your garage, and you get it towed, I won’t be mad. It’s private property. Learn how to read signs and use parking spaces meant for the store it’s used for; otherwise, pay a fee
If a tow operator in NY tells you that the drop fee is $217, tell him you'll call the cops if he doesn't charge the state-mandated drop fee of $62.50.
Wouldn't that become a civil matter? Due to the fact that it's involving a financial dispute?

I've seen other videos where peoples cars where towed while they in the McDonalds and didn't leave the premises.

OrangeOVA there is another video with the exact same tow company and McDonald’s who tried to tow people who went inside the McDonald’s, which is illegal towing because they didn’t break any rules. As well as tried to fine them 400 dollars. The tow company is being investigated now.
The main idea here isn't that they shouldn't fall the law on the sign. It's to not tow a truck that has barely reached 5 minutes into parking.

I mean the spotter was an employee, if I owned a business I'd tell my employees that if u see someone park their car and walk away to call the tow truck
What was left out is they were towing folks that were still McDonald . One you tuber confronted him on this. A few days later the tow truck guy saw him and started a fight . He was over charging and demanding cash only

Blantently walking off the property IS reason to tow. Towing while the customer is still in the McDonalds is NOT right. That was the reason this location got in trouble in the first place.
Greg Hinners they were in trouble for towing other people not in mcdonalds
laurenme3 No, patrons who were inside the McDonald’s were having their vehicles towed as well. That is why there was a problem. Anybody who parks in a private parking lot deserves to have their vehicle towed, because they can’t take the extra minute to read and find somewhere else to park.

This is only part of the problem go look at 98snakeeater TH-cam page. This tow truck company was towing cars by one wheel. Incorrectly towing and drive cars damaging the drivetrain refusing to provide receipts. There’s a lot of things they were doing incorrectly.

How would you like it if your parking lot was full of cars that belonged to people that weren't spending a dime at your establishment? I deal with this all the time at my place. I've had several cars towed off the lot. Literal signs everywhere. Including around my dumpster the whole neighborhood thinks is a community dumpster. Had to build a cage around the thing.
I'm actually with the McDonald's manager on this one. You wouldn't want people parking their car at your restaurant's parking lot only to be going somewhere else and not inside the your business place.
*Especially* with a small restaurant with limited space specifically only for your customers. Without that rule and sign, small businesses would have trouble getting customers to their place because there's no nearby parking space for a potential customer to park at and shop.
Mr. Potatoes Head i agree, but the way they went about it was extremely aggressive. All parties could have handled this better.
Hell yeah McDonald’s was right.
Literally there is a tow truck right around the corner. How is that fair?!
@@Dhdjdbhddnrhfbfbcn It's fair because it's their property and its posted not to park there. Gotta follow the rules, park somewhere else.
JaydaHeartTV yeah but it’s a little much to have a tow truck right around the corner
Used to park my car in a huge empty parking lot for about a year when there was no parking anywhere around my apartment which happened very often.
One day I realized my car was gone and thought it was stolen, found out there was a single small hidden sign all across the lot which said no vehicles allowed overnight. Got my car back after paying $400 fine.
FACT: The manager of McDonald's didn't want to comment because the tow truck driver is 'supplementing' his income.
@Thystaff Thywill yep for sure they were, but they no longer use that tow company.
He’s getting kickbacks. Apartment managers do the same thing even if you’re in a designated area whether you’re a resident or visitor.

Even tried to tow a lady that had just walked out of McDonald's that was legally parked in the handicap spot she had also got food there.
Except In this situation nobody went inside the McDonald's or brought anything. Which is breaking the rules. Which is why the tow truck driver towed them. Because like idiots they walked off without buying and broke the company rules.
