I grabbed one in my town to try it out. I am very glad it doesn't have a reveal like the previous MSC had. Not a fan of reveals.

Oops! I apologize for mentioning the FF company. I wasn't thinking.
It has happened to all of at least once or moresmiling smiley

The fee does not tempt me even a bit, and mandating the entree selection negates any useful reimbursement. One location here continues to sit on the board. I may bite winking smiley at the going rate times four.

Husband and I had not eaten there in twenty-some years. We recalled our favorite sandwiches and decided to revisit. Afterward, we realized why we had not eaten there in more than 20 years.
The new sandwich just came out. Its posted in their front window.

When I first read your post, I thought you said, "Husband and I have not eaten in 20 years." I was thinking: 'You sure must be hungry!' smiling smiley
If that were so, a negative opinion would really speak volumes!
Are these shopped monthly, does anyone know? They were on and off the board before I could snag one. I'd love to try at least one, and will have to "jump on it" if they post these for March. I admit I was amazed when they all got taken in my area.

There was only one on my job board and I have not seen anymore posted in this area. My shop for this location is March 1 so I think they are probably March shops. Just don't understand why there are not more of these locations since this FF place is everywhere. I have not eaten there in 20 years also and am curious to see if the food is any better - probably not!

I did this shop yesterday and got the Italian sub. It was not good. The bun was chewy yet soggy and was dripping with sauce. They are supposed to cut the sub in half and did not. I took a couple bites and threw it away. The dining room was filthy and it took 5 minutes to receive my sandwich. Not a good report from me.

Too early to determine the cycle yet, this was the first time. Could be the only time? Time will tell.

Potentially, they had a quota to fill then pulled open locations once they had enough of them covered.

I did one of these shops and enjoyed it. The store was new and clean. The promoted sandwich was all right. While the fee was less than the MSC's previous fast food client's, the assignment was for either dine-in or drive-through, not both. I'd do another one, but haven't seen any more listed in my shopping area.

No fee, no shop.
The report was pretty easy. No narrative involved. It took me some time to upload the photos, only because I was unfamiliar with their system. My meal came to $8. I might do one in the future, depending on the sandwich required. I don't care for ruebens, and the sub was a fail for me.
Did one of these shops yesterday, to fill in a route and to try out the scenario. The sandwich was "as advertised." I would ordinarily choose something else. I do enjoy the potato triangles, even if they are sometimes greasy.

Once a quarter probably won't kill me. This location was on its toes, perhaps because of so much competition close by.

I enjoyed the bread it came on but that kind of sandwich is not my piece of pie. smiling smiley
There were literally dozens of these within 200 miles of me, and they have all disappeared. Since there aren't any shoppers in my area, I asked the scheduler what happened. She said she didn't think they'd been assigned, just taken down.

Anybody else still seeing these on their job boards?

Just curious.
A few March shops showed up today and were grabbed pretty quickly.

No fee, no shop.
I went today and it was okay. The sandwich was not cut in half and many of the drink selections were out of order. On the plus side, it was an easy shop and the side dish (potato cakes) were very good. I would do it again but not go out of my way for it.
I did this one today and it was great. Everything went as it should have, easy photos. The sandwich was toasted, fresh produce, loads of meat, right amount of sauces, etc. Then, when I went to enter the job, I was supposed to do a dine in and I'd done a drive thru. Thank goodness for rescheduling!
On a dine inn shop how did you take a picture of the sandwich before you tasted it. The dinning are is so wide open it will be hard to take any picture without being seen
It is not uncommon for clients to have more than one MSC. One FF has three MSC shopping it. As far as MF shops going fast, It seems that is happening in both Metro areas I shop. I would speculate that first MF is the MSC most shoppers recommend to beginners and second with the loss of the big client shoppers who have limited number of MSC's are grabbing whatever they can.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

My shop had a booth with a partition that cut off the view from the counter, so it was easy. You actually could take it into the restroom!

No fee, no shop.

Everyone takes pics of their food. Well, not everyone but it's very common. Lots of foodies checking-in on Facebook, Yelp, Zomato, etc...

After taking pictures I move them to a folder in my OneDrive app. It looks like I am either sending them to someone or uploading them to FB, Instagram, etc. These days we are the only ones who find the process to be suspicious.

The only issue I had with taking the sandwich photo is that blinding sunlight was pouring in, and cast a shadow. I actually had to move 3 times, not totally because of this, but because the sun kept getting in my eyes. Like someone else mentioned, I sat in a booth, far from the counter. I had more of an issue taking a photo of the signage. There was only one sign, and it was right next to the drive-thru window. I had to drive around and snap the photo. I'm sure the drive-thru cashier thought I was nuts.
I did this shop today and I loved the sandwich, would totally get it again. But I also frequent this restaurant, I love their roast beef sandwiches. Mine was cut in half, had all of the proper ingredients, and though it was a bit drippy that's what happens when you put garlic aioli and red wine vinaigrette on a sandwich so I'm not complaining.

3 min in line, 2 min to fill out report and 20 min to get all the pictures into the report. tongue sticking out smiley
Why so long? I have 2 of the sandwich, 2 of the menu board. Only a few minutes to upload and link.
