Hee-hee. You guys are so funny. Bigdog, are you still there?

Maybe he's lost in the 50's

I agree this sounds like a big mess, why do you have to pay out all this money for each job? Then go to the job do you'er little thing,and then just have the company to say no you did not do a good enough job so we'er not going to pay you. Is this how it works basicly? If it is I'd starve to death before I 'd get paid.

Not exactly. I noted that you took a look at least at the Nuts and Bolts thread. That is where what you need to do is spelled out. We don't PAY to shop. We may need to advance some of our own money to satisfy certain purchase requirements for which we may or may not be reimbursed depending on the terms of the contract for the specific job. And yes, if you do not fulfill your end of the contract you will not be paid/reimbursed. You wouldn't expect your local government to pay for road work where they forgot to put in the bridge when they built the highway.

Well spoken flash, its so true.....

I can understand new shoppers seeing a lot of complaints on the forum, and getting discouraged. How often do we enumerate our successful shops?

jk-- every company has guidelines on their site as to what they expect of their shoppers. Some describe it better than others, but none of them leave you completely in the dark. You can also usually look at a blank report before you shop to see what you must do. The great majority of rejected shops are for shoppers who didn't follow instructions. What makes you think you can't follow directions and guidelines? What other jobs have you worked at?

The money involved is usually to buy some product in the store. If you're going to judge customer service in a donut or a coffee shop, you have to buy food there, but you get reimbursed. Most of it makes perfect sense, but most common shops don't require large outlays for the product, and some none at all. There are also perks like reimbursed fast food, free groceries, reimbursed meals at restaurants, because you're playing the role of the customer.

If you hang on and ask questions, we'll help you.

I think your right sneakers. We never do tell what great shops we are doing.

I'm going to start a new thread about our great shops!!
