I encourage shoppers to go paperless as much as possible. First is the obvious environmental benefit. Second is the huge amount of money sucked out of your business by ink/toner & paper. Guidelines can be downloaded, notes can be made on smart phones/tablets and audits can often be reduced from dozens of pages down to a one or two page cheat sheet. I felt like I had gotten a raise after not having to buy a ream of paper and an ink cartridge every single month

Two options. Tell the scheduler in the writing they can assign you the shop, you will look at the guidelines and report right away and if the pay/work ratio is unacceptable you will cancel. Or just start a thread about the shop and ask for other shopper's opinions.

Just this morning I sent an email to a scheduler with the same concerns you have. I have heard from the scheduler several times and the last time she told me how to see what is in the job. I thought I had missed something on her site but when I checked it out it was the same place I had clicked which basically told me the # of questions in the report,the fee and the physical location of the shop. The first time I emailed I got a response that the shop I was referring to must be at a different msc as they have no shops at that company. This particular job was at a vendor inside a store I would not mind shopping. The job said the name of the store I would like to shop. Turned out the vendor inside the store carries a brand I cannot use myself and there was a purchase required with reimbursement but none of this info was in the few shop notes. I cancelled the shop and advised the scheduler that they might have a lot less emails if they at least let you know who was to be shopped and that a purchase was required and what the reimbursement would be. I doubt my note will get any changes but I can only hope the company will consider my email suggestions.
Schedulers and msc owners, if you are reading this please provide some infor in your shop advertising so that we have some idea what the shop is all about. Most companies do so but a few do not.

Sandy the scheduler knew exactly what I was asking for and dodged and evaded my question because the job was bigger than their Facebook profile cared to mention.
Forums are impacting the payment in good ways, how else would we know the threshold for bonuses on companies screaming "We can't go that high"? Its thanks to the information and input from all the members, thank you to all the great members who help us out so much!

How do you save forms in Evernote, where you can edit it just like the original form?

GuyFawkes: It makes me feel (from the schedulers avoidance of what the job entails) like nobody wants the job anyway and you are not getting a direct answer as to why...because the job likely is pretty awful.
