Where Are You Shopping Today?

Disgusting Sbarro. Haven’t been in years. Now I remember why.

And they require several photos. The Sbarro locations in my area are never busy, so it's difficult to take photos and not look obvious.

I believe it is a separate app where you take pictures at locations? I have too many things to keep track of. I finally did a shop with Field Agents and I think screwed up one minor detail.

A phone app called We Go Look that requires photos of real estate and/or vehicles, stuff like that.
I just booked a shop for tomorrow where I will get $60 for opening a credit card account that will pay me a $200 bonus for spending a set amount within 90 days. Soooo, I am busy loading things into my cart at amazon that I will purchase once that credit card arrives. All, I point out, items that have been on my "to do" list for some time. The rest of the spending will be made up of early 2022 Rx refills since that is when my only expensive Rxes renew. Oh, and I will get 3% cash back on prescriptions.

I’m having trouble finding things lately. I have never done gas station audits. Am ordering a vest for when I get off work tomorrow. Then I’ll give em a go.
Had a food delivery from a ghost kitchen, and a food truck today. Will have another ghost kitchen food delivery and a fast food chain tomorrow.

I think this will be the last round of these ghost kitchen food deliveries I'll do...the food is terrible, and there's no pay, just reimbursement.
Next week: a few merches and a few shops, which are conveniently located near mil. Perhaps we can get a visit after all that work.

I probably had a different ghost kitchen shop. But man! Wiz Khalifa and George Lopez are terrible!
This morning was 3 convenience stores.

It would be a violation of both forum rules and independent contractor agreements to give you this information. As far as I know, at least two MSC's have Goodwill assignments. Good luck! smiling smiley

Hotel valet parking for a cash integrity shop. This was what we call "a catch." The valet attendant pocketed a total of 40 bucks.

WOW! Wonder what happens to the valet now??
Today I'm doing 2 merch jobs putting POP on LG appliances, and one bonused grocery shop.
Halal guys for a latish lunch shop. Easy report and such a generous reimbursement that the leftovers will provide at least two more lunches. I really enjoy their food!

I've done a couple George Lopez deliveries, and it definitely depends on the licensing restaurant. One ghost location was terrible, but followed all the brand standards. Another location didn't follow a single brand standard, but the tacos were really good. That good location, their churro was legit a Disneyland huge churro and was glorious. Totally not the brand standard. The brand standard churro bites are terrible.

There's a different company that does a bunch of national ghost kitchen brands, including one for a big YouTuber. It's the same company that does the video game store age audits.

I haven’t worked up the courage to sign up for a Chevron shop. Should I? The vest and thermometer are a bit intimidating. Lol.
I did a few coffee shops earlier that just required menu board photos. I know all the locations, so I knew it would be easy to get the photos. Report was quick, too. Later today I'll be making some after-hours storage calls to see if I get a call back in 24 hours.

I'm not shopping today, but I'm still shopping, LOL. I wrote an apartment shop report & then Coyle contacted me about two shops I did over a week ago asking me to verify if music was playing, what color masks people were wearing, if I took a photo in the lobby, and if there was hand sanitizer, and how did I know the person's name who was working here or there, or whatever strikes their fancy in the back office at Coyle.
This week: one merch, one restaurant, and whatever shops will fit neatly between merch and personal visits to thrift and grocery stores.

This weekend one night at a hotel, two grocery stores, one curbside pickup for dinner, and then two dine-in lunches that are right next to each other the next day (I'll eat one lunch and my husband the other one).
