I accepted four shops for this month! I also accepted a California Tortilla shop for this weekend, so no need to make lunch next week. YAY!!!!!

The KSAs look identical to the questions already in the survey.

It give the opportunity for more narrative and explanation with specific examples. At least, that's what I intend to do.

Thanks Pua. I like it when I can get descriptive. I've actually gotten dinged for TMI.

I'm doing my first chipotle shop tonight. Any advice?

15 pages of very good advice in this thread. Make sure to refer to your training docs. Remember to describe employees by gender and hair color.

Actually hair color is not required. However if there is something distinctive in their appearance like tattoos, jewelry, or obviously dyed hair, etc include that.

I always use hair color and never had an editor at the MSC tell me not to do that. It might not be needed but it is not something that I have been cautioned about. You are right - distinctive but not offensive (obese, really short, scraggly beard, beer gut ...) Sometimes the person is so generic that all I have is gender, hair color and length. (No age or height guesses, either.) I want to say, "Please, dude. Can't you put some purple highlights in your hair or wear a rainbow wig?"

Join the private Facebook page if you haven't yet. Just ask your scheduler. Some great tips and advice there.

I had my training in December, 2016. The trainer said to not use certain metrics (age, weight, etc.) in the descriptions of the employees.

I remember thinking, "Everyone will look alike!"

Off topic (don't we all do that sometimes?) I had a recent questionnaire from one MSC that asked some basics about their forms. I commented that I can't tell ages or heights worth a darn so I would rather not use them than mislead the client into thinking I was describing someone else. The identifiers are great, as long as the crew has some. One day, Tortilla 1, Salsa 1 and the cashier were all female with dark brown hair restrained in buns. That's all I had..No one had earrings, tattoos, highlighted hair etc. (One tip I got at the meeting that I have used. Cite the color of the slacks if possible. I have used "khaki cargoes" or "faded denim skinny jeans."

Shopping SoCal and Maui.

The color of the slacks? That's an odd one! I say that because I don't know what I wore a month ago.

I wouldn't have thought of that but the trainer mentioned it. It has come in handy when the other descriptors are generic. Problem in my area is that just about everyone wears jeans. Fortunately, I only have to remember it until I write the report. I try to get the report written soon after the shop.

But Pua is not talking about YOUR slacks. She's talking about the slacks the crew members are wearing. If there are 4 crew members on the line and they all have long black hair in buns, the slacks each is wearing or the jewelry might be the identifying factor to a Chipotle manager who reviews the video footage for that day.

rofl taco (sorry, I just had to put that in there), I know what she meant. I wasn't descriptive enough in my post.

To put what the crew members were wearing in the report would be odd because the report would get to the Chipotle the following month. If there is an issue, would the crew members recall that they were wearing tan khakis on 1/26/2017?

Video footage is very different.

Hijacking my own thread: there is a survey on my receipt from today. Is this new?

Okay, jeans I can do!

Designer based on pockets and zipper. Bootcut, flare, straight; low rise, midrise; stone wash, deep blue, black; button fly or zipper...I can be very specific!

Ooh, I'm excited! I'm going to incorporate jeans into my report next week!

I noticed the surveys popping up around the last week in February. Not much of an incentive for us, is it? Free burritos for a year? In months I have eight or nine shops, I get two free entrees a week

Today I did a Chipotle shop and hit the jackpot! Everyone on the line had unique hair colors and styles, one had a prominent tattoo, all but one wore jewelry and her jeans were cropped and gleaming white. Perfect! Except I threw out the receipt and now have to redo the shop. Rookie mistake. So bummed! At least I like the food.

Ouch! I suppose on the bright side you had practice observing and taking notes.

Chris, you threw out the receipt? Oh my. I don't even have the words to respond to that.

They dropped their job fee and also cut the reimbursement in half. Did they also cut their total narrative requirement down to 2 sentences to match the cut in pay?

Did you pay with a card? If so, ask your scheduler about using your credit card statement as your proof of visit...

There is no reimbursement. They cut the required purchase so that the net amount of take home pay would be approximately the same.

@Tarantado, thanks for the reminder! I wish I had paid by card, but I paid cash. I blame McD's

Those were the first FF shops I ever did and they required cash. Old habits die hard!!

Chris, you can have Chipotle pull a receipt for you. You would just need to tell them the day and time you were they. They may be able to email it to you.

I've had to do that for several shops.

Wave a white flag on that one- hey I am a shopper I need my receipt...

It's a common thing, actually.... Receipts for business meals, per diem, etc.

They defiantly don't have a hard limit of 2 shops per month. I'm assigned 3 almost every month and if I'll be in the area of others I've said I won't shop, I get those assigned to me shortly after requesting them.

I average eight shops a month. Never fewer than seven ... sometimes nine. I live in a densely populated area. I checked 16 Chipotles on my available list that are reasonably close to where I work and live. I am guessing that the hard limit some folks experience may be because there are more shoppers than shops so the schedulers spread assignments to give everyone a chance.

Like Tarantado said, people need receipts for a variety of reasons. I requested a duplicate at Aldi, and the cashier didn't blink an eye.

I've been shopping Chipotle since January. In January, I was assigned two shops, and I picked up an orphan.

In February and this month, four shops.

I am looking forward to seeing what next month has to offer.
