Last video shop was a short new home shop (no report) way out on Long Island. Bonused to $140. That gave me a chance to see some (to me) entirely new territory, the small towns of LI, where local businesses outnumber franchises. From there I headed back to Manhattan for another (third in 5 nights) overnight hotel shop and a morning valet garage shop, before landing in CT for the holiday. Returned to MD late yesterday and have 5 reports to write and videos to upload, plus 5 more garages to finish before 11/30.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

I just did the Sbarro's and a gas station shop.

I did a hotel bar shop with Hubby. It's nice to have a reimbursed night on the town!

Yesterday was a bonused cafeteria shop and day before a bonused grocery store and heavily bonused Krispy Kreme. Today an oil change, tomorrow a car wash and dinner at a pizza restaurant. I live in an area with LOTS of shoppers so bonuses are awesome!

I picked up a Panda Express for fun and it was DEElicious! MMMM, that Walnut Shrimp!!!!!

Radio Shack

What company offers golf course shops?

My most recent shop I completed was #14 out of a group of 14 gas station shops for Intouch Insight. Easy to do and they pay within 2 weeks. My kind of shop!

(MSC deleted) audit of a Best Buy. I do 5 -10 per month for them.

Naming the MSC and client violates ICA and forum guidelines - MOD

California Tortilla on Saturday and Chipotle on Sunday. Those bowls were my lunch all week.

Yesterday I did a fitness equipment video shop, membership at a big box store, computer shop, and 3 home security shops. Great question!

Yesterday I did a Post Office shop. My next shop is a "Web Inquiry."

Working in S. Arkansas and N. Louisiana!

20 banks and one pet store yesterday. That's my all time record; 21 shops in one day. I'm not working today or tomorrow. Then right back at it on Monday with 11 banks. This bank is open on Monday which is weird, but also convenient for me!

Shopping up and down the Colorado Rocky Mountain front range.

TWENTY bank shops in one day?! Im drooling.

Did a Mexican Upscale Dinner tonight with DH. Tequilla, delicious food, music and FUN, YEEESSSSSS! Have one other restaurant scheduled for next week. Then NOTHING, but that's OK. Scared of weather surprises and we both have to work.

Are these with the same company? I used to do them for ABC MSC but haven't seen them when folks mention them.

$5 recorded phone shop. I wish it was a restaurant or movie theater reimbursement shop instead though.

Yesterday I completed a checking account inquiry at a bank and then went a casual restaurant for a very delicious lunch. Both shops were about thirty minutes from my home but the bank was bonused. The cost of the lunch will be reimbursed with a small shopper fee. I generally don't like to go to that particular town, due to crowds and traffic, but it went well. This week I have three shops lined up. The first is USPS, then an evening dinner at a casual restaurant (closer to home!) and then a brunch at an upscale restaurant.

How on earth can you do 21 shops in a day. Even if you only sleep for four hours that is still less than one hour for travelling time, shop time and report time!

Sorry.

Not all shops are built the same. 20 Harland Clark bank shops? Holy cow no way. 20 teller shops would be super easy to do in a metro area. I mean I don't know if Wells Fargo has teller shops but before I moved I could easily hit the 5 in my town in less than 2 hours. A big city would very likely have 20 that you could hit in 8. Most teller shops take maybe 10 minutes to report so that's another 3 hours. 11 hour day.

I've done 30 gas stations in day only working 9 hours.

I have been working a little more in a sprawling metropolitan area lately. I look around and count how many shoppable places there are for miles and miles and miles, and I just know that if I lived there I could do a dozen shops or more on some days. I truly believe that this would be possible, even with rotations.

My most recent completed shop was a merchandising task.

Did a BWW this week.

Looking to do a JCPenney pillow shop this week.

Blaze pizza.

Did a new casual dinner shop tonight. Was not impressed. Food and service was horrible. Think we'll skip this.

Just did 4 shops after working 8 hours at my regular job today... 3 grocery stores and 1 at Skyline

Just had dinner at La Mar Cebicheria's Miami's outpost.

Today I did 4 Circle K shops with the lottery ticket purchase. I also did a FedEx "pack and ship" scenario shop, and a retail (NOT food) shop for ACL that pays $25.00 if all goes well! It was inquiry only with no purchase required (first ACL shop I've done since 2005...that's 11 years!!) I WAS going to do my USPS shop today, until I realized that it's only been 16 days since my last one at this same location instead of the required 18 days for the regular box scenario. So I'll do that one on Thursday instead. Also have another 7 Circle K/lottery ticket shops to do this week, along with a Home Depot appliance inquiry shop. For the rest of the month, I've still got 3 grocery shops, a Goodwill donation-only shop, and possibly a Medicare formal event shop, if my app is approved. I also only do this part-time, but am able to pick the shops I want.

ETA: Oh, one of the most unusual shops I've done this month was last week. Went to JC Penney, bought some mattress & pillow covers/protectors, shipped them to someone the Client wanted them shipped to from nearby UPS shop with Client provided label. Shop was approved the next day....reimbursement will be received this week for the items....PLUS the pay is $35.00, although that will take a few more weeks to receive. Easy-peasy and fun! Well worth the time and drive!
