As far as I know, they even don't know your seats until you get them at will call. Have they been able to tell you your seats in advance?@PasswordNotFound wrote:
I haven't had any issue with editors, but requiring food observations and not reimbursing for the food is chintzy. Also, ask where your seats are before accepting the assignment. Sitting in $16 seats is in no way worth it, but $150 tickets certainly are.

The basketball game I did this year the seats were great....and yes you do get paid for food.....basically you get reimbursed for everything.

Did one football game shop in September. Home team lost 59-10 or thereabouts, so many observations were tough with a sparse crowd leaving when it was something like 42-0 at halftime.
Anyway, that result was a bummer and I kept getting edit requests for more info really late at night. That's not going to cut it if I'm getting texts for edits on the drive to work, too. So, I pretty much told them they have all I'm giving them and that's that since it seems like nobody was on the same page as far as what I was to be watching for and what really was going on.
One and done...but the emails for hockey games in San Antonio ceased.

Tracy is good to get a hold of you as long as you are on his good list, just don't cross him or you will get silence, or worse you wont get paid.

I've got to say that the two or three shops that I've done with Service Scouts were among the hardest that I've ever completed. I put in at least three hours of writing and probably the same amount of time through a couple rounds of editing for each assignment.
That said, these shops provided me with amazing opportunities to build memories of a lifetime with people I care about. I would have never been able to afford the events that I attended for just myself, let alone to share the experiences as gifts to others for whom these events were bucket-list caliber.
My success in completing the shops and reports were primarily due to Tracy's personal commitment to my success. She was patient in answering questions as I pored over the long list of interactions, constructive in her criticism, and she made sure that she was by her phone throughout the events to field multiple calls from me during the actual execution of the assignments. Best shopper-support I've ever received, bar none!
