Surprise at Rami Levy: Customer receives 2,000 shekel parking fine
A regular customer of the Rami Levy branch in Netanya was shocked to receive a legal demand for nearly 2,000 shekels in retroactive parking fees, despite having met the requirements for free parking.
A viral post on Facebook has sparked significant consumer concern, warning of an alleged "parking trap" at the Rami Levy branch in Netanya. The author shared the infuriating experience of his aunt, a regular shopper, who suddenly received a demand from lawyers for 1,974 shekels in unpaid parking fees accumulated over the past few years.
According to the signage at the complex, customers are entitled to "two hours free with a purchase over 100 NIS." The aunt ensured she met this condition with every visit, but because the gate opened automatically, she exited the facility as usual. Now, nearly two years later, she is being billed retroactively and has been told it is too late to present receipts as proof of purchase.
The author of the post expressed his frustration: "If the payment wasn't settled, why did the gate open? And why does the payment demand arrive almost two years later, while she has continued to shop there in good faith during this entire time?"
In a subsequent update, the author noted that many other customers have reported falling victim to the same system. Users are now attempting to join forces to address and stop this phenomenon.
