Anything worse than this bookstore shop?

I don't recall there being a specific menu requirement -- I think anything edible or drinkable from the cafe is fine. And if I'm misremembering and it makes a difference you can also self-cancel the shop.

I just looked back through my records. It was $35, not $24.

I waited for a bonus. I got paid $24 and reimbursed for a pastry and a coffee at the cafe. It took me about 40 minutes onsite, which from what I understand is lengthy for this shop. Others have reported doing it in about 30 minutes, but I had a hard time getting two different associates for two of my questions. I bought a book bag for $1.99, and it only took about 20 minutes to report.

This shop for a bookstore is the worst. to the shop to bookstore shop and found out that it paid nothing required a store purchase which have a book nowadays is the least 10 to $15 minimum and the shop doesn't pay anything in it takes 40 minutes to do plus 20 minutes to entet and all you get is a cup of coffee reimbursed at the coffee shop no payment at all an only up to $5 reimbursement at the coffee shop. Is there any repayment schemce than this?

I used to do a great bookshop store for $10 and $5 reimbursement for the coffee and danish. I LOVED that shop! I like walking in the bookstores, going down the aisles and sitting in the coffee shop enjoying my cappuccino and pastry! They no longer have that assignment.... as the store sadly closed. sad smiley

If this is the same chain I am thinking of, I did a number of shops in their cafe too....it was one of my all-time bookstore chains.
Yup! I wish they were still around. smiling smiley

I never shopped that previous store, but a new bookstore chain took over their building, and there was a beverage-and-pastry shop there once that I did. Loved it, but it seems to not be offered here anymore. sad smiley.

Exactly the same here. A new bookstore (I have never gone inside) opened in its place.

The one in my neighborhood is still there but will be closing in about a year. It does not have a cafe. I did it once for a different company that paid a $15 fee. For the current shop we are talking about it would be a lot of work and I would not even get a reimbursed cafe item...Just the $5 minus the dollar or two I had to spend on a postcard or something useless.

Mmm on my end I see they have two dates available with this bookstore for a fee of $12 and $5 cafe reimbursement.

I simply sit tight for the "Make an Offer" symbol to fly up and afterward put in a number that is worthy to me. Some of the time they acknowledge, once in a while they decrease. It's not much, just business

Bookstores still sell books but now one third to half of the space goes to toys. I try to stay out of those booksellers because I am always dropping a c-note in there.

Mmmmm so I submitted an offer for this bookstore shop that I thought was reasonable but still waiting on the email. The very next minute I submitted an offer for a high retail store with them that was accepted less than 5 minutes later. That offer I definitely inflated more than I thought they would accept.

They all disappeared at $12 + $5 in my area. I suspect that they had the overseas schedulers call shoppers.
