Folks, it is all about location, location, location. Here in my big city the month begins with pages of shops within 10 miles, some of them multiple at the same location. The popular (not perceived as dangerous?) neighborhoods go first. Some shops I know they have I have never actually signed on early enuf to catch. Within a couple of days most are gone. The hard to fill ones disappear with an occasional $1-2 bonus when the shop is at night usually or some of the $8 cell phone shops. My birthday falls on the 15th of the month. They offer a birthday bonus. On the 15th when the rest of you are looking for bonuses there is usually nothing for me to choose from but it IS nice that they said Happy Birthday. Bonuses by phone, oh yes, I remember once getting an early morning phone call to drive an hour away thru traffic for an additional $2.
But hey, we have other things going for us in this big city. If there is some fast food restaurant I like I could probably eat there almost every day within a few miles. And weather is never an issue.
