NAPA Store

Has anyone done this shop? A shop fee of $7 plus $5 reimbursement seems a bit much for a 42 question report.

I've done NAPA stores but they paid $20 with a $10 reimbursement. They are desperately trying to fill them now but I'm not taking them because they have a requirement that you must be in the store 20 minutes. The two stores I did were tiny (about 3 aisles) and I was served immediately. I thought it was very suspicious that a woman would just hang in the store and browse 3 aisles (very slowly since there are only 3) for 20 minutes.

Yes, the 20 minute in store was difficult!

Thanks for the info. I know to pass on it for $7 plus 20 awkward minutes.

I've done about 10 of these. It isn't hard. Yes you have to be there for 20 minutes...I head over to the air fresheners and cleaning products and just pretend to be confused and read the backs. The report is actually simple. I am all stocked up on tire cleaner, leather cleaner and air fresheners now however!

You could always pretend you are looking in those aisles for a cute mechanic. You might, however, get approached kind of like JonChance in the other store. Yuck!

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

^^ Or get into a clueless conversation about air fresheners, and ask whether they freshen the air outside of the car, and if by using them, you're doing your part to reverse air pollution.

"So this little thing helps suck up all the exhaust fumes and factory pollution?"

20 minutes could pass quickly if you're having fun.

i'd rather do the advanced auto part ones for 15 dollars
no purchase and no narrative. just 35 simple questions.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots

When you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing nobody

I wonder why they specify you have to be a man for the Advanced Auto Parts shop.

Probably because the client wants to be sure that men receive the same level of service and assistance in an auto parts store as a woman.

I was wondering why they flew off the board.

I got to it an hour after the email blast and all 15 locations near me were gone. I'm going to set my email to give me an audible alarm next time that "key word" is in an email and take them all.

Hints as to who does the NAPA? I Saw the Advanced Auto but I am not male. lol

didn't know they were STILL doing those!

Hated them.
