I used to love these Popeye's/ Waffle House shops - the shop fee was low (a base of $6 shop fee- plus sometimes a couple bucks bonus+ cost of the meal) but the shops were very easy and best of all a chance to give away a prize to the hard working service staff that really deserve more for what they have to do.
It USED to be that if the order taker upsold a drink they got a GOLDEN TICKET which was a $25 prize. These are usally sponsored by Coca-Cola because sometime Waffle House has done these "soda upsell" shops too.
But now the last batch of shops have changed and I do not like them: Now they have a new "OOPS" certificate- if the server fails the test they get an "OOPS" certificate- not only do they NOT get a prize -- but I have to get his/her NAME to report them as failing the test !! YIKES!!!!!! The poor guy/gal feels bad enough and now gets a "You failed" certicate and gets reported! Also there is no shopper fee this time - ZERO DOLLARS SHOP FEE.
You better do the shop "for love of chicken and NO MONEY." I predict these shops will languish on the boards.
Can you say CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP?? And HEARTLESS HEARTLESS HEARTLESS ?? (the "OOPS Certificate and reporting the "Failee"
NO THANKS.
