I have been during these shops since the end of August/beginning of September. But wait a minute. The $28 and the $12 can be done on the same day, and in the same time frame. The $28 one is looking for anything out of complainace, while the $12 one is looking for corrected branding(the checkmark and the word with the Zeeeeeeeeee). Knowing the one is longer paperwork, I do that one first. It is like a POSTOR said take as many pictures as you can and take one picture three times if you have too. Because you can't submit the same picture for different questions.
I have never had a manager refused me but I have one or two decide it was time for them to be "on the floor more". You know like straightening up or command other employees to "do this, do that". But that did not stop me.
When I did the audit in September, the shop fee was $35, it was 10 pages and had different questions than the $12 shop has but similar in nature. $35.......down from last year, but it wasn't stressful. Plus the store was smaller. At the end of September/October 01st a new audit shows up.
I only do the audits shops on days by themselves, because the photo submission is time consuming. Even if the store is 100% compliance, we still need to take a minumum of 20 pictures. My camera battery actually died during my film shoot. I was lucky I travel with at least two cameras and a camera phone. I finished the $28 shop and start the $12 shop. Yeah $40 but ............
I feel like the shop are more like we are doing inventory for VZ. I wish they would offer a higher shopper fee. I think a lot has to do also with the IPHONE 6 coming out. VErizon wants to keep and get more of those customers.
BTW, if you are doing more than one 36 page audit in a day, ask the help desk for an extension in submitting the report(if you need it). Even though they are priority, they will give you a little wiggling room. It is better to ask then to assume.
Don't forget the InVue Security sensors
