Unpopular Pizza Shop

I wish I still lived in the area where they had real trouble covering all the locations. Once I did four shops and got what I considered to be rather decent bonuses given they start off as reimbursement only ($0+R).

In fact it seems like every rather lucrative shop opportunity doesn't last very long. It's frustrating that eventually the MSCs find people willing to do these for far less than they ever should go for. This pizza shop, in particular, should go for at least $5+R, and never for $0+R.

Unless the total distance you are driving is 9 miles or less, you are losing money driving there and back. It does take time to order the pizza, to pick it up, to take the photo, and to enter the report. I think the starting point should be $10 + R. Quoting an unrealistically high reimbursement amount to make it seem more valuable is IMHO deceptive.

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
I take it they have relaxed the photo qualifications from "Take one of the bottom of the pizza from the moon" and "take one of the side of the pizza without showing the bottom or top"? Yes, kidding. But only barely. I refuse to take food shops that require me to photograph the bottom of anything. The top. fine. The bottom...not a chance.

I do 2 for nss every month. 1000 times easier than Intellishop.

They must be easier. I have never had any photo issues with NSS.
As of now, both MSCs only require the top of the pizza. It was easy before, super simple now. And yes, anything less than $10 plus reimbursement is ridiculous, but I won't do it for less than $20.
The reason most people don't like their pizza is that they use a high percentage of "imitation" cheese. Hence the soybean oil.

Geez, so glad I am no longer tempted to do these (crappy) pizza shops since I went Low Carb / Gluten Free - and I am never looking back.

My memory of the last one was crappy, cardboard pizza that I had to manipulate 6 ways from Sunday and still didn't get paid for it - and I believe that was for NSS - I have since dropped them.
I'm doing a couple of these shops this weekend and it's been a while. I seem to be having a brain freeze so help out here guys. If I order a pepperoni cheese pizza - that's considered two toppings? Or does the pizza come with cheese and when I add sausage and mushrooms - that's considered two toppings?

All pizzas come with the artificial trans fat oil based cheese. If you ordered cheese, that would be "extra cheese" and get the shop rejected.

Stick to the two toppings allowed and be careful as some can't be combined with others.
Doing one tomorrow with a $25.00 bonus and only have to take one picture. My kind of shop!
I guess I won't worry too much about shopper fee, since mine is a delivery. Naturally, I have questions to ask them and they're "not generally" in on Saturdays. Nice.

Oh well, I guess I'll raid the ATM on the way back from my trailer checks and make sure I don't blow this one.

Plmcut, if you are doing it for NSS you can order just pepperoni as you are allowed to order either one or two toppings. You are not allowed extra cheese so if you ask for cheese the pizza place might think you are asking for extra cheese. You are also not allowed double anything (like two pepperoni toppings).
My first job a few years ago the pizza place gave me extra cheese just to be nice even though I did not order it. When it arrived with double cheese on it I had to decline the pizza and have another made. They could not understand why I was rejecting it as they had given me the extra cheese as a freebie. I had to tell them I was watching my intake of cheese. They ended up leaving the cheese one and delivering a second pizza. At least we had something to eat while we waited another 30 minutes for the second order to arrive.
my photo is usually too blurry to accept when I do bonus shops. I don't see blurry. I see the pizza as it was delivered. When I did the shops that required all the photos - no problem.

The pizza itself is given to the soldiers working the late shift. They appreciate it.
