I charge for administrative time as an hourly employee, and pre-calling falls into that category.

Also, pre-calling stores takes a lot of time you will not be compensated for.
I am employed by a company that only allows admin on certain jobs. If precalls are not required, there is no way to charge for them unless you contact your manager, etc.
Bottom line - if you are following the instructions given for the job, you should not be afraid of getting kicked out of a store. If you want to make phone calls that are not required, I don't know of any company that would be happy to pay for it. Just because you can turn admin time doesn't mean it won't be questioned how you spent it.
