To all concerned about forum policies, including ending or deleting threads, Jacob crested the Meta area just for that sort of discussion. You would be doing everyone a favor if you moved any concerns about forum policy to the appropriate area and let this thread die. There is little to no hope of generating a useful discussion of forum policies on this present thread.

I was asking a simple question because. You don't need to be jerk in your reply. The topic of delete threads was just discussed, at length, last week. A well respected member of this forum hammered me last week for making a joke about content being deleted from this forum. It seems odd that it would happen, on a Sentry thread, the very next week. Different standards?

I appreciate y'all letting me join and I'll just sit back down quietly in the corner and see what I can learn from listening to the discussion. I had a couple of questions but I'll just keep 'em to my self for the time being.

aprilredbird, I agree that shop doesn't pay a lot but you knew that going in. I agree 122 miles is a long trip but you picked this shop up for the "free" meal because you were going to be in the area anyway. Since you were aware of the fee and the mileage going in, there should be no complaints about Sentry on those issues.
Yes, their food shops require a lot of narrative. You can get the time down considerably as you gain experience. Yes, their editors are really tough. I've been doing one particular fast casual for some years and I still get the bounce backs now and then. It's always some dumb mistake I made or some "no" comment I omitted. Actually, I'm surprised they still put up with me. I have another one at lunch today and I'll give it my best shot.
Here's the deal on shops we don't like. There's no point in berating the company because we are not a good fit for one of their shops. If we do one and it's not for us, we're free to move on to something else. We don't have to accept any future shops from them. If you're not willing to learn to do that particular shop for the fee and reimbursement offered, someone else will do it.
What you've actually told us in your post about Sentry is that you were disappointed in how the report went, that you got bogged down and it took you two hours. Those reports do not take that long once you catch on to them. It's up to you to make it work and it's no reflection on the MSC if you don't want to put in the effort to learn to do the shop efficiently.

If you wanted a free lunch on your route, I'm sure that there were other shops that pay more of a shop fee for less work. I like the fries but not the burgers at the place you shopped. I did that shop once and with all that narrative, I did not do anymore. Plus, how many sentences can you possible come up with to describe the smell of the ladies room? And really, it is kind of silly for them to expect to 'taste' the burger through your description - and all for $4. Thankfully I was deactivated from Sentry for expressing my opinion and I no longer worry about them but I do read the posts because they make me laugh that things will never change with this MSC.
