Watching weather reports. Tomorrow's merch might be possible today, tomorrow, or the following day.

I did a Bank of America on-line shop for (relatively) a lot of money for the time invested. It was so easy I am certain I must have done it wrong. I guess time will tell!

Today is one merch job re-stickering watches in Target, along with 2 more HP Ink audits.

Today is a gas station.

My first post office shop in over three months. Surprisingly short line, clean, spacious and lots of air movement.

Did a post office shop today; I was in the building for 35 seconds.

Did a merch job in 2 stores putting special coupons on some frozen product. Have one more store to finish up tomorrow. Would have gotten all 3 done today but the UPS driver got here later than I was expecting. Oh well.

Today I did 4 gas station evaluations in an area with no cell or internet coverage due to recent storms. I'm still picking through photos and composing reports tonight. I'm so spoiled by phone apps!!

Today is a gas station convenience store.

On Friday, I did one of those phone app jobs where you buy a product to try it, and are reimbursed for it, plus a fee. I was already in WMart, and it was for an ice cream cone product, so I got it. The product was yummy! Hubby & I enjoyed it! I wrote up my evaluation and it was all approved, paid and reimbursed by Saturday. I like those kind of easy jobs.

Today was two convenience stores. I filled my tank to almost full with the reimbursement amounts.

I've done two of those. I felt paranoid driving around the back and taking pictures of those bales, especially when workers would walk out in the back for whatever reason. I quit doing them.

guysmom, I got called out once. There were two manager types where the bales were. One asked to see my credentials and I showed him my license. He asked why I was there and I told him. He asked more questions, and the other manager shut him down by saying that I was verifying the recycling program. He apologized and said that the store attracted a lot of weirdos.

I have met Honny, in person, and she is anything BUT a weirdo. I strongly suspect that something else was going on with that suspicious manager's concerns.

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

Convenience store and then cabinet store. Nice bonus for the latter; nice fuel and food reimbursement for the former. I will bring home some fresh muffins, plus my lunch and fill the gas tank. Nice way to restart MSing.

wales, thank you. The guy was on edge for some reason. That was the only time I've seen a managerial presence in the back of the store.

Occasionally, I'll see forklift drivers, but they don't care who is back there.

Three recycling bales, a convenience store and a grocery store.

One QSR locaiton.
Bill was $11.95. Got yelled at for not handing her $0.95 and expecting to get change from a $20.
I had $0.95 in the coin holder, which I had planned on using, but the whole situation was odd.

Two QSR locations that were one minute away from each other. I love it when I can do two shops basically in one spot.

Just one NetSpend card replenishment job later today.

gas stations and gas stations

Two cricket wireless audits today.

Cabinets to Go

I love those!

Today was a convenience store.

New sign at one unrelated business explains that due to Federal Reserve action, they want customers to pay with exact change if they use cash (which is not the preferred method of payment).

Anyway, this week is merch and shops. Next week is for shops (unless I add something later).

My convenience store shop from yesterday and Sunday had a minimum $7 with a $7 reimbursement. Both of my shops were under $7. Both were approved. YAY!!!!
