Which MSC Is Doing These Gas Stations?

1. Named for the historic Greek battle in 490BC
2. Created by the late, not-so-great, Venezuelan Communist pain-in-our-rear aka Red Pyramid
3. A large bay that is the arm of an ocean or sea
4. Near and dear to NASCAR fans--their names could almost be synonyms for each other RACE...
5. Named after that daytime star in our sky
6. Similar to number 4 but more on the QT and much cleaner, better managed

I am already doing these stations:

7. The red badge of courage
8. The blue insignia of Naval NCO's.
9. The yellow abalone
10. The green eyes of Texas are upon you
11. An acceptable signature in the old West by someone who could neither read nor write (or a line from Mr Miyagi in Karate Kid minus the first two letters)
12. "The black coats are coming! The black coats are coming!"

More About Gas Station Mystery Shopping

I kind of had fun wasting 5 minutes deciphering all of those descriptions until I realized I'm not able to tell you anyway.

Also I find it hilarious that I could figure out all of the stations you don't know but your descriptions of the ones you do are quite confusing.

Definite points for creativity!

I can tell you that gas stations in general are done by Maritz, Market Force, New Image Marketing, Cori and others I am sure, but I am not allowed to connect numbers with names.

a number of the brands listed are only assigned to
route shoppers on a permanent basis

Save everybody some time and just apply with more companies.

I figured out three of the ones you're already doing (8, 9, 11) but only one of the ones you're trying to find (5). And there are none of them in my state anyway so I couldn't help you even if I could help you.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

This was a fun game.

1. Named for the historic Greek battle in 490BC Marathon

2. Created by the late, not-so-great, Venezuelan Communist pain-in-our-rear aka Red Pyramid Citgo--although, as has been noted, your history is wrong.

3. A large bay that is the arm of an ocean or sea Gulf

4. Near and dear to NASCAR fans--their names could almost be synonyms for each other RACE... Racetrack

5. Named after that daytime star in our sky Sunoco

6. Similar to number 4 but more on the QT and much cleaner, better managed

I am already doing these stations:

7. The red badge of courage

8. The blue insignia of Naval NCO's. Think that it's Chevron

9. The yellow abalone Shell, and the trademarked symbol is closer to a scallop than an abalone.

10. The green eyes of Texas are upon you

11. An acceptable signature in the old West by someone who could neither read nor write (or a line from Mr Miyagi in Karate Kid minus the first two letters) Exxon, formerly Esso, formerly Standard Oil of Ohio

12. "The black coats are coming! The black coats are coming!"

Basically, as has been noted, our ICA's [Independent Contractor Agreements] prohibit our disclosing which MSC shops which company. Further, the forum rules prohibit same even with using hints for oil company names.

Apparently you didn't notice that MMMM had already mentioned 4 MSC's earlier. :/

Well feeling slightly less dumb as only two of the stations you figured out are located anywhere near me. So I won't waste any more time figuring out the answers to riddles that I can't answer due to ICA violations.

Big deal ~ MMMM just said those MSCs do gas stations. Not any *specific* gas station. Since when is that against the rules ~ either ICA or forum ones? Generalities and all.

And everyone (not me, because I rarely do gas stations for various reasons) for as long as I've been here (what, two years now?) has referred to various gas stations by colors or whatnot, just like everyone talks about hedgehogs and clowns and arches. Like, "I was doing the purple and green gas stations for S-o-S MSC and how do I do XXX?"

So far, it doesn't seem like any rules are being broken. Not that the OP isn't asking us to, but so far it hasn't happened.

One of the stations that James mentioned by name is done by one of the MSC's that MMMM gave.

Well now, I wouldn't have known that unless you'd said it. Heh!

And at least both MMMM and James named multiple entities. MMMM their four MSCs, and James at least eight gas stations. If a person didn't already know which MSC did which gas station, you wouldn't be able to put an exact gas station together with an exact MSC.

I mean, if you really wanted to do a lot of gas stations, you might go sign up for all four of those MSCs MMMM listed, and then realize "Hey! One of those gas stations James mentioned on the forum is shopped at one of these four MSCs!" Still not exactly an ICA violation, is it?

And just as an aside, I used to think that the 'clown' fast food place was the same as the 'arches' fast food place. Then I got the idea that the 'clown' one was the one with the antenna balls who lives in a box. Or, shall I say, balls you put on your antenna. (Hmmm, still doesn't sound right. Heh.) Anyway, I never thought of that guy as a clown. Maybe he *used* to be a clown, but apparently they were in other parts of the country for a long time before they came here, about 12 to 15 years ago. The 'arches' place has a clown mascot, too. I remember tons of those ads from when I was a kid.
