I had a good run at a low price with convenience stores/gas stations that did not require a lot of work to complete and the reports went fast. I was able to complete and report all the shops and made a decent day's pay for doing so. They were all located in one town and with route planner, it made everything so much easier in a city I was unfamiliar. When these shops ran out at the end of the year, I believe the MSC lost the contract, as they have not reappeared in the new year. I tried my hand at red, white and blue stations, thinking they would be similar but with a total of 7 photos instead of two for the quick shops. The pay was the same. The problem was that I had to document in writing and with pictures any issues at all sites, including any illegal materials, porn, adult magazines, pipes, bath salts, roach clips, bongs, drug magazines, excessively chipped paint on anything, dirty bollards, side panels, toppers, even excess signage on the doors into the building entrance. I would up taking anywhere from 20 to 40 photos because if one pump was dirty or chipped, or two bollards or trashcans or they didn't contain washer liquid and squeegees, then a picture of each one had to be taken and documented in writing. I was spending over half an hour at each location for $9 and then an hour to document the shop. I quit after one day and told the scheduler why. I was at one podunk town and found synthetic dope for sale and was ordered to leave when I started photographing. The man behind the counter was carrying a visible gun on his waist. He did not pull it, but after the manner in which he spoke to me, that was it for me. I was through. I did not spend 8 years in college to obtain a doctorate degree and 43 years working in high paid positions to spend an hour and a half for $9. I love most of this work and if the first ones open up again somewhere, I will take the red initial ones again. But the red, white and blue, the MSC needs to pay $50 a shop and the shopper needs to be armed.
