Is there someone who can give tips on how to take a picture of the inside menu board? Do they have to be clear? Thank you.

The photos must be clear.
I hope you like their food and were seeking a meal!

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.

Clamchatter, I've been wanting to ask the very same question. How do people take the inside menu board photo without essentially announcing "Shopper! I'm a shopper here!"

They've raised the rates a bit more so I'm considering trying one of these out on a day when I have nothing else planned for lunch, but not until I know how difficult it is to take the photos. Can anyone weigh in?

Practice at home. Hold your phone with your arms crossed. With the camera pointing out, you can discreetly snap dozens of pictures, and you just look like you’re waiting in line. I practiced taking pictures of my gutter outside so I could find the best angle to hold the phone. My thumb tapping the “take picture” button is completely hidden.

I also see the pay is up a little but they are now late night, after 9 pm. Make sure you read the directions carefully before accepting one.

I fall asleep at nine. No way I will be out getting food. Lol.

Whenever I get close to a JIB, my android phone gives me an alert that says JIB is a popular photo opportunity.

My advice is if you need a pic of the JIB menu, just do it! If Google thinks it's normal for people to take pics of the JIB interior, then the JIB employees probably think it is normal too. Trying to bee too convert in taking pics often makes you look suspicious. How long does it take to snap half a dozen photos using the volume buttons on a smartphone? Answer: I get about 6 or 7 shots in a second. After taking the bracket shots, I go into the restroom to take pics there, and I check my menu board photos to see if I have at one good one. In the unlikely that none are good, then I can always pause another second to take another half a dozen shots of the menu board.

When I take a pic of the interior menu, I hold the phone up but not too high and horizontally with the push button to the right. I touch on the screen where the interior menu is so that the camera focuses on the menu for a clear picture and then snap it. I make sure the flash is off before starting of course. If an employee is standing at the counter, I just say I'm not ready to order yet. I try to capture the photo when others are ordering, so that way the employees behind the counter are busy and not paying attention to me.

I'M NOT OVERLY HIDING. WALK IN, HIT THE BATH FOR A PHOTO, STAND IN ONE CORNER AND TAKE A SHOT. THEY'RE N OT ALWAYS CLEAR, BUT, ACCEPTED. I'VE DONE THE SAME ONES OVER AND OVER.. PROB WHY MY FRIES ARE ALWAYS SUPER HOT! LOL

Yez i actually go through drive thru first if its not dine in. Park go inside and i sit at a table up front and am able to take nice clear pics of board, my food, reciept and bathroom. Enter it all while you enjoy your meal and call it a day. Always get as clear pics as possible. Enjoy and have fun.

Like Amber, the inside menu picture is my last. At this point, I don't care if they think I'm a shopper or not. The 2nd to last picture I take is of the bathroom. And while in there, I zoom the camera to where it needs to be for a good pic of the menu when I go to stand at the counter. When I come out of the bathroom, I go straight to taking the pic. Hold camera up, tap it to focus, take the pic, walk out. 5 seconds of them maybe watching me (half the time someone is not a the counter). And if they ask if they can help me, I respond about needing a picture of the menu for a friend.

I walk in, take a photo. No one says a word.

I done a Dunkin Donut the other day no problem they are used to it.

Oh, the employees don't even blink when taking the inside pictures anymore. They see so many people come through taking the pictures because of the volume of shops. Sure, at that point they knew that they are being mystery shopped, but that is okay with the MSC. I agree with others on doing it last in the visit. I also say nothing while taking or after the picture.

If you've attracted attention, fake being on a phone call and say, "Ok, I'll send you a photo of the menu so you can decide." Then take the shot.

Amber, what's up with the caps lock lately in all your posts? No need to yell, we can read in lower case quite well.

I go into JITB take a pic from a distance, seems to go through. yesterday no one was there, and the cashier was starring at me...took my pic and ran out.....
edited to add: I got sick from yesterdays burger.....no more for rme.

Live consciously....
