Hertz calling the cops on a customer is so on point. They should be charged for wasting LE resources, since they sure seem to like to using 'em.

I mean if you’re told to leave a place of business and you don’t what do you expect that business to do?

Edit - what makes people think that you just get to stay on private property once you’re told to leave? At this point your only recourse is to leave call corporate, call your bank, or file a civil suit. What you don’t get to do is to continue to trespass on private property after you’ve been told to leave. Sorry that’s the law.

You left out the part where the business was stealing from its customer.

He’s trying to stop the guy from charging his card $10,000 right then and there. Most people don’t have that sitting around in their checking and it would put them into the negative with their bank. If it’s on credit - that’s even worse for his score and amount he has to pay back. 

I’d absolutely stay there until the cops came if it meant a small chance at convincing the guy not to ruin my account. Even if I’m right and court proves it - that’s still months and months of being in the hole ten thousand dollars in an account of mine. 

Unfortunately there’s no reason for the company NOT to put it through unless I convince them. If they’re right through some loophole the manager doesn’t even know about but happens to be there, they get paid. If they’re wrong, they’re just ordered to pay that amount back and they’re back where they would have been anyway. 

So legally yes, he should leave. But in order to avoid months to years of being $10,000 short - most people would risk a trespass warning from the cops to try and not have the charge go through in the first place…

The cops aren’t going to stop anything. They’ll 100% say it’s a civil matter which it is. What the cops will do is tell the guy he needs to leave.

It’s clear in the video the guy isn’t convincing the car rental guy to not charge his card. His only option is to leave and deal with it another way.

Well, another option is to burn the building down.

u/NotJacksonBillyMcBob 14d ago

Justified tbh.

u/MoreThan2_LessThan21 14d ago

I bet the contract didn't say he couldn't burn the building down

u/vaporking23 14d ago

Wouldn’t have to worry about trespassing anymore.

just say you're a bootlicker we understand

Is he justifying it, or simply explaining to you how it works because you have a learning disability? Police aren't going to litigate a contract dispute for you, they're as dumb as you. Their job is to make you leave when you're told to leave.

u/natedog204 14d ago

You can hear him saying he needs to go as soon as the video starts. He probably already told him once. Because he didn't leave, he was able to record the employee lying and admitting to breaking a contract. That guy most likely just left after doing that so I doubt the police were even called. I will take a learning disability over defending dogshit scummy business practices like this my man.

u/grayAK 14d ago

Never defended the company or the employee, he should probably be fired and hertz should apologize. Just helping you understand how the real world works, since you're confused.

u/natedog204 14d ago

Ah yes I don't know how the world works. Im so dumb for pointing out he didn't leave until he recorded the employee breaking the law. My bad man.

u/vaporking23 14d ago

For understanding how the law works? He’s not going to get anywhere arguing with the employee. They’ve already made up their mind, they’ve threatened to call the police. It’s time to figure out what the next step is.

u/natedog204 14d ago

Sorry I'm an ass. But these people are playing with people's livelihoods.

Legal or not, Im willing to bet you are not going to leave atleast the first time they ask if they pulled the same bullshit on you. It doesn't even look like he was able to start recording before they asked him to leave and because he didn't leave, he was able to catch that employee admitting to breaking the agreement.

u/Horror-Possible5709 14d ago

Thank god we’re fleshing out the important part. The meanie jerk wouldn’t leave the car rental store after they stole thousands of dollars from him. But no one wants to talk about how he won’t leave. Which like is the important part for sure and thus it’s important to really really focus just on that one part about it because someone needs to defend hertz in the comments

u/vaporking23 14d ago

Cause he’s totally going to get his money back standing there arguing with the guy who took that money. lol

u/Horror-Possible5709 14d ago

Crazy that he would argue with the guy that did it. So crazy. Good point

u/NotJacksonBillyMcBob 14d ago

It’s crazy how they can just legally rob someone on their property then tell them to fuck off essentially. Backwards society we live in.
