Just received this email - guess the bonus - "Here are some shops with HUGE BONUSES!"

It was $5. I guess some people have trouble with the meaning of the word huge.

No matter how you may pretty it up $5.00 is not huge.

Motivation increases when we assume large responsibilities with a short deadline.

I agree with driving shopping and reporting few shops are less than 1 hour of total time unless you can bundle several together. I will not even consider a standalone shop for less than 25.00/food and payment.

I know, right? He says 9 but you know it's 5

It's not but there are many shops out there with NO bonuses right now. I always see a bonus no matter the amount as a positive. It doesn't mean I'm going to pick up the assignment but the MSC/client doesn't have to offer a bonus at all....

$150 for a five minute shop is my idea of huge.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

True, but this was a $15 bank shop with three narrative sections. No matter how you spin it, $5 is not huge. We have few bonuses in my area, very few, so I am not discounting the bonus, just pointing out that huge is not $5.

" The fish was [----THIS BIG----] I swear!"

That fish was a real "flopper".... time to put it back in the ocean

A $3.67 bonus appeared today, and not from the usual suspect! Guess they are talking to each other and sharing money conservation tips.

Can't blame them wages should always be as low as they can be and still be able to hire employees at the quality level you need.
If no one picked up a shop for less than 25.00 then all shops would be 25.00. Some people have more free time or can just whip out a shop to make it worth their while to complete.

I can't get my roommate to understand why I won't take a $5.00 teller shop when I'm going to the bank anyway. I keep trying to explain opportunity cost to her. If I take it off the board when it is $5 then I can't do it later for $12. Just learn to be patient. I do about 20 teller shops a month that require five minutes on site and five minutes for the report. $200 in shopping beats the interest I get on a savings account or CDs. Lol. And every branch gives me a bottle of water when I go in to make my deposit. I get water for free and give it to the homeless people on street corners all over town. I can't give money, but the bank gives me water. So do the casinos I shop.

I agree that $5 is not huge, but you can do the math on these easy peasy bank teller shops and see that waiting for the extra $5-$7 on 27 branches in the valley has paid off. I've been shopping the bank for over a year. Very little effort has put $2600 into the annual budget and half was from waiting for that $5 bonus. Lol. So that made it "huge" enough for me to take all of them I can get.
