Orange Vests

Could someone tell me either on the forum or privately which gas station shop requires the orange vest? Is that the same one that requires the selfie?

I've done hundreds of gas stations shops and audits for three different mystery shopping companies and I have yet to come across this. There are two different gas station audits for one of the big MSCs (the one that has at least four different petroleum clients) that I'm considering but I have no interest in purchasing an orange vest or taking a selfie to submit. I'd prefer not to schedule only to have to cancel. I already shop their other two gas station clients so I figure it must be one of the two remaining that I have never shopped.

Thanks.

It's both of the two remaining that require the vest and selfie.

Orange vests can be purchased for a few dollars at one of the big box hard ware stores. And it becomes a business expense and deductible from your profit at the end of the year. Whether you want to wear one or not is another matter. When I got a flat tire and was out on the road changing the tire, I put it on.

To me, I guess it just sounds like another hassle for shops that don't pay that well in comparison to the amount of work. Plus, I don't do selfies. I hate my photo taken and always have, even when I was young and cute.

Your face does not have to be in the photo. Mine never ever shows my face. If I do it in the bathroom mirror as the suggest and have to have the head area in the photo I make sure the camera covers my face and the flash makes it impossible to see any of my features. Otherwise I just hold the camera out arms length and point it towards my shoulder. They have never questioned it at all. All the want is to make sure you have the vest on your body.

Ironically enough, today I felt like being a character (as though that would be a surprise) and wore my vest as a fashion accessory during fellowship time after church and during the board meeting. When asked, I just said our meetings were usually hazardous terrain and I wasn't taking chances.

I never show my face in the selfie either, just the vest. It's no big deal and I make a lot of money each month from these shops.

I wear mine on non-required gas audits as well as the required ones. It takes you from "creepy guy taking pictures of stuff" to "official guy taking pictures of stuff."
