Shanghai lady parked for 40 minutes and paid 13,120 yuanThe Story Behind the Consumption TrapIn today's society, "toll assassins" are rampant, and we always habitually estimate the cost before consuming.

What the hell is going on here?Usually, the parking fee at the mall varies depending on factors such as the area, the popularity of the business district, and the length of parking.
However, in China, the parking fee within an hour basically does not exceed 100 yuan. When Ms. Zhu was working in Shanghai, she parked her car in the Changning International parking lot, a process she was no stranger to.

What's even more strange is why the staff in the parking lot didn't notify her in time of the unusual paymentFaced with this bizarre incident, Ms. Zhu decided to go to the parking lot again to negotiate. The management of the parking lot also felt that something was wrong, so he took Ms. Zhu to check the replay of the day's charges. ** It shows that Ms. Zhu drove into the garage at 11:49:11 and left at 12:29:24 on the same day, parking for about 40 minutes in total. And in this short 40 minutes, such an outrageous parking fee was somehow charged.
Faced with this sky-high parking fee, Ms. Zhu couldn't help but have all kinds of questions. She wondered if it was a deliberate trap set by the parking lot or if the system was malfunctioning.

However, refunds have become unusually slow. Managers at Changning International Parking Lot said refunds would take up to 30 days to complete due to the company's process.

Building trust is crucial when dealing with monetary disputes. Both individuals and companies need to focus more on how to earn the trust of the other party when dealing with similar situations in order to reach a better solution. Therefore, in order to avoid similar situations from happening again, we need to think about how to build more trust between strangers, so as to build more harmonious social relationships.
