No. I don't shop that client, but they are shopped by at least one MSC.

I do em all the time, the offer option is always available in my area and can complete it for a huge bonus each time. Found the sweet spot to be assigned is about $53

NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!

I wish you didn't tell me that.

I do them all the time too...

for $6.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: NO offer button is available in my area, though.

Also, I ONLY do them as convenience shops when I have to go out and have to eat. I figure why not, since the shop would be along the way. I also like that their burgers use no preservatives, nor additives (fresh meat daily) and their veggies are fresh too, as they cut them EACH morning. That means the fries are made from fresh cut potatoes every single day.

It's one of the few ff places that is decently healthy. I also load up my burgers with all the veggies practically. Hungry already!

From reading other threads, it is likely you have maxed out or are out of rotation for locations in your area. I think if you get removed for any other reason the MSC notifies you. AFAIK, they also don't tell you the max allowed. They think it is more fun to just surprise you by removing the client from your job board.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

well, i just took the certification. for $53, i'll take a bite of the burger.

In my area, 20 is the highest I have had accepted.

I have gotten some really good bonuses from this MSC but the most I've ever been able to wrangle for a 5G is $25. I'll do 'em all day long for that though! MMMMMMMMMMMM

Dang. Rarely on the offer board here. I always grab the location near my house when it goes up, and other area locations tend to stay listed for a while, but rarely seem to get the offer button.
Had a lunch shop there today, reporting it now.

I feel like a cheap burger hoe. I do them for $8.

I wanted to ask the same thing but thought I might get reported for being insulting or something.

My rate is $20. I have not been successful in getting them to go higher than $25.

I don't eat healthy and I totally wondered the same thing. In trivia one night there was a question about different Burgers calorie counts and Five Guys was the highest.

1.) No preservatives, nor additives in the meat. I believe it's prepared fresh daily and never frozen (In-N-Out ships their burger patties in daily and never has frozen meat too if I remember correctly).

2.) Fresh cut daily veggies. Also never frozen or left overnight (to dry out).

That's about it.

I do load up my burger with almost all the veggies:

lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green pepper, jalapeno, mushrooms

I dunno about calorie counts, fat content, etc. By its meat seems higher quality and fresher.

edit: I saw a YouTube promotional of Five Guys a few months ago where they explained the preparation of their food items. I think I searched Five Guys story or something like that. Lots of interesting facts about them. Shaquille O'Neal owns something like 10% of all the franchises.

Possibly, liz. But not every calorie is equal either. I guess I'll back off from saying they are healthy...but I think I said something like "relatively healthy" in my earlier post.

something along those lines.

I might even be wrong on that too!

Picked one up today for $25.

You're welcome.

My $6.00 Five Guys trips - I've done a lot of them - are probably subsidizing you all's bonuses.

I'm going to stop doing them for $6.00 now after seeing these prices!!! I'd rather just not go period.

This is from a 2014 article in the Huffington Post.

Jayne Hurley, a registered dietician at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), cringes when she hears the food industry’s better-burger label.

“These new upscale burger restaurants are serving more meat between the buns with at least twice the calories,” Hurley said. “You would get a healthier meal at a traditional fast-food burger place like McDonald’s or Burger King. The Big Mac and the Whopper look downright petite compared with the burgers coming out of these upscale burger joints.”

In June 2010, Hurley and co-author Bonnie Liebman, CSPI’s nutrition director, singled out Five Guys in their annual “Extreme Eating” feature in the organization’s Nutrition Action Healthletter. They reported that a Five Guys Hamburger sans toppings is 700 calories, considerably more than a Big Mac’s 540 calories or a Quarter Pounder’s 410 calories with everything. A Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger, meanwhile, has 920 calories and 30 grams of saturated fat — one-and-a-half days’ worth — without toppings. That’s more calories than two Quarter Pounders.

“These places aren’t serving healthburgers,” Hurley said. “And there are so many reasons not to eat beef. It’s full of saturated fat, it’s high in calories, it increases the risk of colon cancer and heart disease, and then there’s the threat of E coli. We don’t recommend eating it.”

Is 30 grams of saturated fat really that much? How much do other food items have?

Nah, it's perfect if you are a six foot, six inch, 18 year old, male linebacker and it is your only meal of the day.

LOL! Metabolism? I remember that!

I do them for 8 all the time.

It really sounds like it's area dependent. With that said, i am in the low pay area, $6-10 fees. It's still a decent meal though. Low stress work and easy timings.

I'm totally reporting you. This thread seems to have affected someone in my immediate area. The normally "fly off the board" burger shops are just sitting there. I"ll take them when the make an offer button appears. I'm not eating meat and salt and deep fried potatoes for less than $25.

Yes.

If you are no longer seeing these shops, you have been disqualified from the account. Inquire with the help desk, if you're so inclined. Sometimes, mistakes happen.

I agree on the timing being easy, but I don't like the report.

Certification? I never had to do that, is it new?

I never do one of these for less than $18 bonus and generally get then for $24.

I feel sick to my stomach. I do them ALL THE TIME for $6.00 and feel ecstatic when I see a unicorn for $8.00!!!

Everyone here owes me a thank you for subsidizing everyone's bonuses! But NEVER AGAIN hahaha! I shall abstain until I get $12 minimum!

Certification is required usually the first time signing up for the shop. I remember seeing the certification periodically. But last week, i had to certify each time i signed up, it looks like they fixed it.
