New FF shop for Marketforce

OMG, you couldn't pay me enough to eat one of their Reubens! Horrid, horrid, horrid. If that's the required order, I would have to cancel the shop. But they do have sandwiches I really like!

No reveal makes this a significantly better shop than it was with the old MSC.

Good call bgriff. Also, if I don't have to get an Italian Sub and can get another type of sub that I like (which I didn't even know they offered) I will be okay.

Oh, ceases, my husband likes Reubens. Yuk. Sauerkraut. Ick.

On a slightly off topic tangent: I grew up in Florida. We ate black eyed peas, cornbread, and greens on New Years. Up here in the NE US, my husband's family eats pork loin (ok) and sauerkraut (disgusting). Just sayin'.

We have one in my area.. However, I have not seen any posted in my area

I remember I did one a long time ago for Dine In.. The last one I saw (with the other MC), is that it was a reveal Drive Through

Sigh. I regularly did these for the old MSC. MF dumped me years ago. Sigh.

These are all gone from the job board already; I'm surprised! Yet the fast-casual burger place still has lots of shops available. Go figure.

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

I'm still ticked about the lowering of shop fees for the fast-casual burger restaurant from $7 to $6, so as a matter of principal I won't do them unless they are bonused. Heck, even at $7 it was too low of a fee.

All of the new FF client's shops are gone but 2 in my area. Guess someone's hungry.

It doesn't surprise me. The pay is roughly the same as the old MSC with no reveal and they never hung around long in my area before.

I can't find any new FF shops in my area like you all are describing ..... maybe there aren't any (Sacramento/Yuba/Davis/Folsom area of CA)

I wish I could have some Mexican food shops. They don't have that client here apparently.

Okay I need to get my butt in gear and go do my shops...have a good day all!

I wish we had any Mexican here. The Mexican Restaurant (not FF) that used to be on the MF board (at least in our area) has disappeared. And yes, the discussed FF here used to be elsewhere requiring curly and usually the plastic cheese sauce. Haven't seen arches show up for us yet this year. Are they still there?

Don't like Sauerkraut! We just had Reubens at a restaurant this week and were so disappointed at how little sauerkraut they put on!

I just saw the new FF shops posted for Marketforce. I guess the other MSC who had them before did not get to renew their contract. Unfortunately, it looks like there are extra steps to take now (taking a few photos and uploading them) that were not requirements of the other MSC, and the pay is less, too. Bummer, because I really like that client.

NOTE: I'm not on the forum every day. If someone comments on my post, I might not reply right away. I've been a shopper since 1991. I've never done any work for a MS company in any other capacity.

Also, the price for sandwich and shop fee is the same as the "other" company. It was $14 bucks, $9 for the sandwich/meal and $5 for the fee. So, I found at least that part did not change by much.

I've done 2 or 3 of these shops a month for a couple of years for the same MSC. I don't know of another MSC doing these in my area. For the new version, I have to order a specific sandwich, a hot side (used to be I could get a side salad) and take 2 pics. For the extra work (taking pics), the fee went up 75 cents. Reimbursement went up $1, which is good because the previous $8 in my area was about 35 cents too low.

Lucky for me I like all the sandwiches, including the Reuben!

I really don't find the fees and reimbursements for MF that unreasonable considering their FF reports are usually very easy. Much better than some other companies that give no fees, just reimbursements.

No, they are no longer shopped. The only arches shops are the ones that have been done for years for promotional items, generally for children. For those, timing does not matter. Quality does not matter, Cleanliness does not matter. Just order exactly the right things inside and outside and see if they gave you the right promotions, generally for a specific sex and age child. Those were never done by MF, and are not done by MF now. The end of the arches shops has been a subject of discussion for months.

Extra work? Taking a photo of an entre is significantly easier than doing a reveal after the shop. IMO there is now LESS work, not EXTRA.

I think I know who it is but I don't see any! I looked for quite a ways and in another state. I am going to have to find out .....

FIREMAN'S ???????????????????????????????????????????????

I can't find the loaded Italian sub on their web site. Is that still the current required sandwich?

What is the fee and reimbursement please?

It is still the required sandwich. I checked their website and the Rueben is available, so it looks like that's what we have to order.

I just received an email from (the FF company) advertising the loaded Italian sub, and it's back on the menu.

(Mod note: Because the MSC is listed in the subject heading, listing the client in your post constitutes a violation of Forum rules and probably a breach of your ICA)

rainy you need to edit your post!!!!

please

I am trying to figure out which FF place you all are referring to.

These guys also are doing a fast casual shop that is very vegan friendly....did this same chain for another MSC. It seems easier from Marketforce so far as its dine in and not take out.

Silver certified (since 2009) and willing to do shops all around the greater Chicago, NW Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin areas (including airports!.

There is one of these shops sitting on the board in my area with no takers. I would pick it up but I am trying very hard to not eat fast food. I wish someone would take so I don't have to look at it every day. LOL
