Knowing which shops are not worth the time takes a little time to figure out at first. Market force is currently peddling a 39 question, 20+ photo audit shop for $10. I accepted them at first in handfuls, once I printed out the 25 page guidelines I cancelled every single one. Even if these shops were across the street from me they are a no go.
I agree. They have mystery shops for the same stations. You get 2 gallons of gas, make a $5 purchase, look at the inside, take 4 pictures and your done. For the same pay as a full audit. I'll do the mystery shop, but not the audits.

Its the AT&T, same ss Cricket, 15-25 in store and do audit on tablet while you're there. Let the price go up.
I absolutely agree. Especially the one that requires 2 interactions. You have more flexibility as to date and time, but the pays the same and it's a lot more work.@mcav0y wrote:
The orange box store paint shop. I did it once at the previous rate of $15 and decided it was too much work. Then I did it again for a bonus of $30. It was still too much work. Now it has been sitting at $9 and just was bonused for $11.

I track the pizza times using the stopwatch function with the lap feature. Add the sauce, hit lap. Pay for pizza, hit lap. etc. I meant I pick up four locations at a time.

You need to be competent in basic addition and subtraction. Verify the numbers up and down. Not a big deal. It's literally junior high math.
Example:
Joined the line: 12:00:16
Step 1 (51 seconds): 12:01:07
Step 2 (28 seconds): 12:01:35
Step 3 (2 min 33 seconds): 12:04:08
Step 4 (1 min 10 seconds): 12:05:18
Total time elapsed: 5:02
If this is the shop I do where you make your own Pizza (sorry I dropped in to this thread half way through so I am guessing here,) I have always wondered how the timing should be recorded. I put the exact times in the recording such as if I entered the line at noon and 16 seconds (12:00:16) I would put the exact time I got to step one as 12:01:07 PM etc. But I have always wondered if since they say minutes and seconds they do not want the actual time but the time elapsed where you would say 0 minutes and 51 seconds for that step. That would be easier to figure out. They have never questioned me using the exact time with hours and minutes and seconds so I have never tried the other method just using time elapsed ( 0:51 in the above example). Does anyone record their times in the amt of time it took to get to the next step rather than the clock time?

If the company only offers one kind of shop for one specific customer, that I will not do again....I see no need to keep then active. I have many MSC I will not do certain shops, but keep them because they offer many other types of shops.
