When the old company had the Pegasus gasoline stations, there numerous instances when the attendant would refuse to sign the LOA and allow me to take photos. They were quite adamant about it, demanding some form of identification other than the LOA. Of course, I did not have anything that could identify me as someone who was performing the shop for the company.
Nevertheless, it did not matter to me, other than being humiliated or embarrassed in front of other customers. But, they did not know me, so those feelings were shortlived. Besides, I was still reimbursed and paid and the report was shorter as was the photo-taking at the particular station.
Now, with the new company, I've not had a single incident. I wonder if it is because the monthly shops are performed by the same shoppers on a regular basis (as you are aware the MSC asks if you wish to perform the shop again in accordance with the time specifications).
Even the quarterly shops have become more accepting as these are often owned by an independents who can be notorious for their negligience and demeanour.
Or, is it more that the new company and their client are more communicative with their stations?
