Just some comments on the comments. I think the 1st audit will be time consuming as the guidelines have to be followed. And the guidelines for each brand and type of shop is different. One requires a photo of the attendant's torso showing the uniform and ID. Another wants a photo of the counter, not the employee. A third doesn't ask for either. All the ones I do require a photo of each pump, except diesel pumps for one brand. One does not ask for a shot of the canopy or building, the others do. One wants a pic of the pumps from a 45 degree angle, the others, not needed. There's more but my point is these are very detailed shops and take time and several stations to become routine.
I don't take anything close to 80 or 100 pics. More like 20 to 25 and after having done hundreds of them can easily whip through them in 20 minutes. And that's walking, not jogging. Walking a mile or two a day is good exercise.
I don't use my phone camera or the app either. I can take one handed pictures with my digital camera which is about the size of a pack of cigarettes or a deck of cards. More than once the camera has slipped only to be saved by the strap around my wrist. And I also prefer to upload the reports at home in my office relaxing and watching the Mets lose again. Except on Battle Bot wednesday.
Also, I only do revealed and set up mini routes of 5 or 6 or 7 a day. I like to leave after the morning rush, around 10 am and return sometime around 2 or 3 pm. Routes can be very profitable if negotiated properly.
Some of the restrooms can be pretty seedy but not many, at least around here where there seems to b a gas station at every corner. I think the competition keeps them clean. Some of the restrooms are so small that I have to leave the door open and stand halfway outside to get a good shot. I don't think there is a requirement to step inside and close the door.
I think a majority of managers, owners and some attendants take pride in their work and the appearance of the station. Most are friendly, some not so much.
Finally, I think the shops are set up by marketing people that come up with ideas at a conference table. A little field work would probably provide more logical and effective report requirements. But that is a topic for another discussion.
