Since you mentioned plumbers....my daughter had one out a couple weeks back for a leaky shower faucet.
Three hours of work, $1200.
And he left a hole in the wall, 18"x16".
I should be a plumber!!!!
i live in big metro area w/lots of shoppers. i take lots of low hanging fruit because the fruit i grab are very qucik & easy shops w/no narrative except for no answers which is rare. many@ShopSouthTexas wrote:
If several shoppers are all eyeing the same shop, waiting for there to be a bonus, only one person wins here. Not everyone wants to gamble like that. Of course we all want to make more money. But in the end, waiting around ends up earning you a big fat goose egg. Might as well take the bird in the hand. That being said, I live in a very large city that has shops that fly off the shelves regardless of pay. ACL reimbursement-only shops are gone the week they are released if that tells you anything. And yes, I do a good share of them because I love me some ACL regardless of whether or not its worth it to the next guy.

i dont do reimb only shops. i dont like to eat out much because limited healthy choices. so those lunch & dinner shops arent worth me writing long report. some people feel that way others dont. thats why we run biz the way we want to run it.@hotsauce1 wrote:
If it's a reimbursement-only lunch at a place around the corner from my office and I have nothing to do that day, I'll take it. Someone out there wouldn't mind a "free" pizza or toilet paper because they're on a tight budget and that's one less thing they have to buy.
why is shopper a teaching someone how to shop. that is not our job & most likely breaking ica you signed w msc. having required 2nd diner for some food shops or underage kid for compliance is diff situation but u still dont have to necessarily teach them how to shop.@Shop-et-al wrote:
Shopper A may use Shop A to teach someone else how to shop while Shopper B may scoff at Shop A and seek their pleasure elsewhere. This is not our business. Genius 1 may be able to complete any mystery shop devised by humankind but have no time for mystery shopping beyond the occasional ff drive-thru or quickie gas station shop where they were getting fuel anyway, while ordinary folks may have time to devise routes and get money by doing large numbers of shops. This is not our business.

Nevertheless, it sucks when someone takes a cell phone shop for $7. It definately bites!

OMG I am diverting from the subject of the thread but your scenario sounds so much like the car salesman I came across when I was actually out to buy a car for myself. 2016 models were at the end of the year with thousands of dollars discounts and he brought out a fully tricked out and never used 2014 model of the same car I was planning to buy new that had been special ordered and then changed their mind. Insisted on taking me on a ride. This car was thousands more than the one I was looking at that was brand new. Not to mention they had to jump the battery of this wonderful and expensive old new car. He showed me all the gizmos that I could hook my smart phone to and also open my garage door with etc and on and on. I kept telling him I did not have a smart phone or a garage door but that did not phase him in the least. His new tack was that if a friend with a smart phone was in the passenger seat my friend could use the stuff instead of just sitting and chatting on the phone since my friend was not driving. Yeah, i really want to spend $5,000 more on a car so a friend in the passenger seat can bother to make her phone calls thru the car instead of directly.
Anyway, mostly this type of stuff is why I don't do car sales jobs even with a big bonus!!! But then in my town a big bonus is $2 so why wait for one anyway.
