Screw Ups?

I got a nasty note because all of the lunch items were in the same photo! Go Figure!

There's a shop I do where I have been pinged for not taking a separate photo of each food item, down to the tiny cup of salsa (fast casual shop)... to be safe (because the editors at the MSC each seem to have their own rules), I take a photo of the entire tray, then a separate photo of each item. Of course this is all a neat trick to do in public without people thinking you're some kind of food creeper.

Wow, that's weird, wales, since there is only space for one photo upload for that shop and that other shopper got her/his shop rejected over it. Yes, go figure, considering the MSC.

I am talking about a client that is strictly regional to the DC metro area, so not the same at all. Sorry if it looked like I was referring to a mentioned MSC or client. I was not.

Okay, you were out your fee. That makes sense. That sucks!

Honney,
$25 parking fee + $2 tip + $25 MS fee, down the drain. Park fee of $52 only in NYC, lol. This was DC hotel valet.

Hmmm Parking receipts...In a local shopping center where I do parking jobs there are two new things. When you enter the lot a photo is taken of your license plate. If you leave before the free validated time is over the gate reads your license plate and just magically opens for you before you even get to the machine. Big Brother is here. No magnetic strips on their tickets that you pull either.
I did the valet shop at the same place today. The valet asked for my phone number and said I should call when I get done shopping and they will text me when my car is ready. There was no ticket!!! Only my phone number! I just entered my report for the shop with no photo of the ticket and it was accepted. They have little hand held devices to enter numbers into. I went to the cashier instead of texting them so I don't know how you pay if you just show up for your car...maybe they use square or something and the valet does it. No receipts either. And no signs telling you prices to park. I guess it is a case of "if you can afford to shop here the parking fees don't really matter to you."

I was taking the second, backup photo for my Arby's shop tonight and the entire sandwich dropped about three feet from the bank ATM machine's ledge; the only place around with enough light to take the pic. Only a pickle slice survived.

Helloooooooo Taco Bell.

spicy, I couldn't help but laugh because I've done that. My backup meal was Canes chicken and it was good, but boy I was mad at myself. I got the photo before the drop like you so it was okay.

One time, I forgot to do the report. Luckily, I had 24 hours instead of midnight.

I've done that a couple of times.

Yes, the drink needs to be in the photo, even if it is only tap water.

I am that food creeper!
Instagram everything HA!

I forgot my story once. Was shopping a T-Mobile location. The employee asked what I was doing in the area and I stated I had accompanied my wife to do some shopping. Later on the employee referred to my wife, and I replied, "I have a wife?". Instant cancel!

Have synthesizers, will travel...

I have forgotten my name a couple of times. Once was a shop involving an appointment. All I could do was tell the receptionist I was there for a 2 o'clock appointment and pray she used my name first.
