More About Gas Station Mystery Shopping

Not very to both questions. You just need to make sure you get the required photos, clear and framed well. You also have to spend a particular amount of time at each location, depending on the brand, so you're shop timing needs has to be tracked carefully.

I have done them, they are not bad at all. It's a reveal and you have a time limit sometimes but this allows you to take your time and get everything right.

They also get easier and easier as you do more and get a feel for the specific job.

O.o o.O

Happily shopping New England and beyond!!!!!

As you get organized they get easier. I found all the paperwork daunting at first until I realized most of it did not pertain to the station that I was at. They are used to being audited but sometimes you get a nervous manager or employee who is not that cooperative. IMO there is far too much paperwork for what they actually want but that comes clear after doing 1 or 2 stations. I will not do them anymore unless they have a bonus because uploading the piks (on my computer anyways) takes too much time for what they want to pay.

>>but sometimes you get a nervous manager or employee

I've only done three, but I have already had one employee ask, in a shaking voice, "Does this mean that we're in trouble?"

It seems that MF has a few different gas shops. The one I did in November/December was a regular mystery shopping and did not required taking any pictures. Both the shop and report were easy and fast.

Well, ethics is key in those audits. Just yesterday I declined a free car wash in exchange for not reporting missing name tags... No way!

All the gas shops were picture ones. I did a ton of them this month and am tired now. Time for a break.

Wow! It's amazing to me that missing a nametag question is that important to them. I hope you were able to report that they tried to bribe you.

Nametags are always important. Sometimes I think we do the whole report just to make sure they were wearing nametags.
