McD's shops

The problem with Arby's is that you don't get to choose what to order, and you don't find out what the required sandwich is until after you assign the shop.
Ah, but right now it's a delicious "steak fajita" (which is NOT steak, and certainly NOT a fajita, but is yummy!).
Then again, last month it was "hog belly", which was as awful as it sounds!

I liked the pork belly and the chicken fajita. I did not like the meatball sub. Eww for me.

Hog belly is a bad name for a sandwich but it wouldn't be a bad name for a blues-rock band.

I haven't seen Arbys listed in my area for at least several months.
My posts are solely based on my opinions and for my entertainment, contact a professional if you need real advice.

I saw several last month. I have not seen any this month, but they are grabbed so fast that I might have missed them.
There are some Arby's shops that allow you to choose your entree. They typically pay $1 less than the assigned entree, but if you need a free lunch, it's a great way to go!
Part-time Colorado Shopper since 2016.
Did not like the meatball sub. Would not reorder. Other items are good.
There is a very good way to find out. Drive by your local Arby's and you can see the feature sandwich is in the window and on the digital board.@mjt9598 wrote:

There is not one in my area but I have seen them posted in other parts of the state.
McD service and timing has really gone downhill since they are not longer mystery shopped.
Has anyone seen the Arby's posted for December yet?
They are out in my neck of the woods but $4.00 and $8.00 when they used to be $15.00 and $8.00 and now you have to take pictures.
I miss doing them in the airports. I probably did 20 of those a year. Super easy and paid well.
I've picked up a couple McDs on a different MSC but haven't seen any since August.
I miss McDs also. I found they paid good and not bad for fast food.
Bad idea, SunnyDays. About half of the Arby's I do get marked off for not having the current promo on the menuboard. Did one yesterday that had the mint chocolate shake and the fajita flatbread. It's been premium steak for a week.
I like both versions of the shops. One pays a dollar less, but lets you get any sandwich, and you can get a salad instead of a fried side. The other requires 2 pics but I think the report is simpler. So, no sandwich choice but higher pay and reimbursement, and an easier report. Just wish they would allow 2 shops in the same meal period. I would do 2 drive thru shops and my hubby and I would have dinner!

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.

Since Ronald the clown stopped offering shops I miss the urban adventure. Some of the shops were in neighborhoods that suburbanite should not go to if their vehicle, clothes and demeanor do not match the reality of the "in your face".
You had to be "real" when you got asked for "change". If I had change to spare I would not be eating here. No! I am not buying or selling drugs, I am just getting a burger. I appreciate your kind offer to have a romantic relationship in the back of my vehicle. if you had all your teeth and your breath did not smell.but you can have my burger, you need it more than I do.
I was on the schedulers begging and pleading hot list. when they forgot to mention where the shop was and the suburban shopper had no clue and kept on driving to live another day. Of course the fee had to be adjusted to "combat pay" Yes they did have locations in nice locations but they did not pay as well.as a shop that got flaked and the scheduler was desperate. You called me, How much are you paying?Let me change my clothes, my demeanor, get into my ghetto mobile that looks like it belongs there, it was not worth stealing. .

McD's and Stripe's restrooms have also gotten really gross since they stopped being shopped.
I would love to shop Arby's. There's one not too far away, but none of the MSCs I'm signed up with seems to be shopping thlem, or Denny's, or IHOP. If anyone can suggest an MSC who might be shopping these stores, I'd appreciate it.

Because we all signed Independent Contractor Agreements (ICA), no one who is signed up with the companies that shop IHOP, Denny's, or Arby's can tell you. The ICA is a binding agreement, and the ICA of most companies contains a strict confidentiality clause and we would not be able to communicate the company's clients through email, private message, or on a public internet forum. However, one of your previous posts suggests to me that you are already signed up with the company shopping Arby's. The shops go fast, so perhaps they are taken before you are seeing them. I don't think Denny's or IHOP are currently shopped, unless they have landed with a new MSC that I haven't found yet.
I don't miss them at all, because I've had lots of time to get over them. I did 125 of them in 2009-2010, and several in 2011 after the new company got them. That new company banned me from all future McD shops and would not give me a reason for banning me from McD shops. So I am glad the account will go to a new company if and when McD ever decided to institute a regular mystery shop program again.
I have mystery shopped McD a few times in the last couple years, but those were different McD programs (All-Day Breakfast Shop, for ex.), and they were for different companies.

Denny's is still there. Could sign up for one 20 miles away right now if I wanted, but I don't do reimbursement only.

I empathize with that. I don't do jobs with no pay either. Even if I like the food, I don't write reports for free. I would rather pay for food at a restaurant I like and enjoy the food without having to work while eating. If all shoppers would refuse to work without pay, all shops would pay fees.

Where do you live? I didn't even know Denny's was shopped.
Upstate NY. It is a small not often discussed MSC.
