I’m at s Blaze Pizza right now just for the heck of it. I have done this once before and the biggest issue was getting names. I noticed the instructions now say you can just give a description if you don’t remember a name. I was relieved that my entire order from start to the cashier was handled by one employee. Made it easy. I get my times by using my IPhone stop watch. Good pizza too.

That's funny, since I love that most of the time they have names on their hats. When they do, you don't need a description.

I use my iPhone stopwatch and go back and forth with the notepad to put start and end times, as well as descriptions.

Today I did:

DT breakfast
7 gas stations
DT lunch

It was a nice day in Corona Del Mar. Lots of Bentleys, BMWs and Audis today.

Plus, I discovered Moscow Mule Kettle Chips are divine! What a find.

My server also had her name on her hat but on the side and to the rear so it was impossible for me to read. Since she was also the cashier I have her name from the receipt which I was later able to verify as she walked past my table. I noticed that most of the other employees also had names on the side of their hats which were difficult to see and sort of defeats the purpose of having a nametag.

Today, I am shopping my favorite sports bar after work. It's a To Go shop, and I take the metro home. This will be interesting!

Parking garage shop in the same building as my bank account opening shop. Then another garage 3 blocks away. Then home to do some intense recruiting for a small, fast-growing MSC.

On Tuesday, I did a sports bar. I am in their rewards program. Every so often, they send out rewards for freebies. The one I received was for some boneless wings, and it expired on Tuesday. They could not figure out how to use the coupon. The senior manager ended up comping the appetizer.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened with them.

Last night I did an EXCEPTIONALLY well paying valet shop (that I tried to schedule but no one took).... sat at a restaurant and ate dinner while I waited. Took me 20 minutes to finish up the report when I got home.
Today I am doing another parking shop so I can walk a few blocks to Wrigley Field to evaluate a Cubs game and then drive back towards home and check intoa nearby hotel for the night.

Tomorrow is Pret-A-Manger for lunch, and Saturday is a gas station/convenience store. Wednesday, a friend and I are going to a sports bar and using a reward that I got solely from shopping them.

Today I had to reschedule shops At 3 AM my cell phone buzzed me awake with a local emergency message about flooded roads in my immediate area. I live on high ground, but am between two very flood-prone streams that can be dangerous. The storm water management ponds behind my house went from being a bit damp to being 3 large lakes. Even with those restraining runoff, those streams had enough flash flooding from the mountains where they rise (about 40 miles NW of here) to close key roads for much of the day.

Tomorrow, three garages that were inaccessible today, plus lunch with a shopper buddy. (Not a shop! The best deli in a 200+ mile radius.)

No shops for me today! I'm just finishing up reports from my route last week. :/

Have I mentioned I detest reports?

I got a call from an MSC today to do a bank account opening shop for $80. That will be on Friday. Saturday, I have a gas station/convenience store shop.

I checked the job board of an MSC I do gas station and convenience store shops with. I noticed a shop for Huddle House and it had a fee. This MSC is usually reimbursement only for their restaurants. The shop dates were Tuesday and Wednesday, but I asked the scheduler if I could do it on Monday. I have Monday off. She assigned it to me.

Now the question is: Stuffed Hash Browns or a Grilled Chicken Salad?
