TL;DR: my car was towed while I was in the store.
I had to pick up a flag and some snacks for a group of people going to protest today. I went to Von's, friendly neighborhood store I frequent, where I could get snacks and B&S accessories right around the corner where I could get the flag. I was in a hurry. I went and got the flag and came right back and put it in my car. Took under 10 minutes. I went in do my shopping, came out with arms full of groceries, and my car was gone. I talked to the manager and he said he couldn't help. Bill from Diamond Towing: $404.
There were clear signs posted saying, if you leave the property, your car will be towed. On the other hand, my car was towed while I was in the store shopping.
Awful experience.

I won’t be surprised if nothing is done AT ALL, about my experience at the store. My significant other is a former employee of theirs. We went in yesterday to buy somethings as well as some lottery tickets. After paying we walked out to scratch them off. We ended up winning so we went back in to cash them. The cashier at self checkout proceeded to call a supervisor but he unfortunately couldn’t come at the time so she asked the store manager Nelson. Once he saw it was my significant other who was with me he refused to help us out. He said “oh no no i can’t” When the cashier let him know the other supervisor could not come he practically huffed & puffed as if it was a total inconvenience. Mind you I was the one who was asking for help, my significant other was watching our infant daughter as I was trying to cash in the lottery tickets. It should NOT matter that my significant other is someone who he is not fond of. We are paying customers & to be treated as if we are inconveniencing him? Unacceptable. This isn’t the first time either where Nelson has been biased towards me because of my significant other. He is unbelievably rude, inconsiderate & aggressive when he doesn’t like something or someone. He is the ONLY one who always refuses to help me or my family out. Truly unacceptable behavior, being biased isn’t what vons should represent.

The store is on the smaller side. Pleasant employees and fairly busy. Stock runs low on the popular items towards the later afternoon.
