You must apply to many companies, they won't all be available in your area. That is now, but this thing is getting bigger everyday!
I have gotten several invitaions to do 'American Eagle Outfitters'. they have age limit of 24, size 14 women's. DUH! I won't be shopping for them anytime soon, my grandaughter is 7 months old!!!!!
Just like we all have, it's trial and error. I found that applying for these companies, they want to see why you want to shop. I said and always do 'To make a difference in how people are treated' I really need money, but they are looking for people with a cause.
We would all like companies within a 10-20 mile range that pays oodles, with hardly any paperwork. They all try to keep their costs down, to attract more companies to sign with them. I take the ones close to me, in town, or 15-16 miles away for little pay, then later in the month, it gets desperate, they raise the amounts, or add a bonus. It's worth your time then.
I did not choose a Mcd's in the town just 7 miles away, they called a day before, offered me $18. plus the cost of my food, I took it. The original pay was $7.50, $10.50 bonus, I got breakdast, brought it home, and laid back in the glory.
My secret? Be discrete. I checked the restroom, all the items it asked for, ordered it for dine in, got over to my seat, left and put it in my sack. I did nothing illegal, I checked the temp of everything, I do not lie, or make up anything. Always do the drive thru first, your receipts will tell the time you spent inside vs the drive thru later.
