I do 95% fuel shops
green/yellow stores - 25 minutes max - you only have to take the photo of the bathroom you use, the required photos, and non-compliant issues
red/white/blue - if a free-standing with no attendant/no c-store - 10 minutes, with c-store 20 minutes - required photos, bathroom/vest photo of the bathroom you use, and non-compliant issues
red/yellow - current cycle depends on the shop - if no FRN counts, 20 minutes, if FRN counts 30 minutes, required photos, both restrooms (unless unisex only), and non-compliant issues
Some keys - get your overall photos done first before you ever do the fuel or c-store shop - so park where you can get the required overall photo in case they don't let you shop, because you will at some point run across a fuel station that will freak out and tell you no. I was kicked out of the same green/yellow store twice because they thought I worked for a competitor. Also, if you have a strong zoom camera, you should be able to get the canopy, and MID.
As you are fueling, you can scan the lot for:
-required windshield washing equipment, trash cans, etc. along with scanning the building for damage, and the lot for damage.
To be honest, I can sit in my car on the lot of the fuel station and do 90% of the reports for all three and never be bothered.
My fuel shops run anywhere from $18-$30 dollars which includes fuel. The only time I make less is doing a debrand shop for green/yellow, and they are super simple, so I don't mind taking less.
