Fast Food Question added for Dec

I did my first one of those for Dec today and noticed that question.
It also seemed like they took out some questions.

I've done a couple with the new questions, too. I either pick a close location when I am in the mood for an unhealthy meal or wait for one to get to $25.
They still have way to many redundant questions in my opinion.
Yes, I did the dine-in 45 seconds, line-to-meal, and yes there was a bus full of unruly kids ahead of me.
But they all ordered really fast.

I did one right before Thanksgiving and there were 8 cars ahead of me in the drive thru line. There were 2 registers opened inside one had a family of 5 people ordering (1 senior, 1 2 adults and 2 teens). the other lane had 3 groups of 2 making it a total of 6 people. My order took over 5 minutes to be delivered. When the manager called my order, he said...."Ooops my bad, this is to go.
Noone ever asked me if my order was to go.
Last week, I got an email supposedly from the client, asking how many people were in the drive thru, how many were in the shortest line, did I walk away from the register and such. It seems their people were trying to figure out who the shopper was. I don't know why they were so defensive, when I passed by there at 6:00 last night there was still a long line of cars.

I hope you did not respond to the client..
Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.

Yes, certainly an email I would forward along to the company with a request for how the client got my email address unless it was the company that was sending it along to me.

Yes!
One page asks if you shopped both the drive thru and dine in.
Next page:
Did you shop the drive thru?
Uh, I thought I pretty much cleared that up on the previous page.

My favorite is "why did it take so long to get your food?"
Seriously, how the heck should I know why it took *so* long if it took less than 2 minutes. I have no clue what could have caused a 1 minute delay lol. Slow walker? Slippery shoes? Workers stepping all over each other in a rush to turn off the incessantly beeping machines?

Oh, I should have clarified that the MS company forwared the questions to me. I responded with a simple yes or no without explanation. The manager had the order to dine in and then changed and put it in a bag.
I was asked if I had asked for a bag. So right then I knew they were trying to find the shopper.

I once had a shop where a couple in front of me ordered 100 cheeseburgers. Although there was no bus in the lot, they were bringing all that food to some after game party. Now, how do you measure something like that.
I love it when they bonus to $25.00. Once I got two in my area at $26.00 each....heck yeah I'll do it...
.One time they called me and asked if I would do a shop and I declined. But it still showed up as accepted; I did it cause they bonused to $16.00.
I realize now that you are automatically put on as accepted unless you opt out of the program.

Auto assign pretty much kills any chance of a bonus. If a shopper is in an area where shops have been regularly bonused, competition is either minimal or not interested. It would not make sense to opt-in for auto assign. The site allows the shopper to select yes or no for auto-assignment for shop types, and other criteria.
you are right. I never thought about it that way. Makes sense.
About 4 years ago, I did one and it got declined because I used the debit card so I stayed away from them because I didn't have cash laying around for fast food. Now that I get more shops that aren't reimbursements. I take it that many don't accept here for that same reason. Now I gladly wait for the bonuses.
I pay with cash because I know that they are picky about this but I really doubt that the average Joe working FF can make change any faster or slower than he can process a credit/debit card.
Maybe this might bring up a new answer for why it took 2 minutes and 11 seconds to get a burger and fries, "The employee appeared to have trouble subtracting $5.43 from $6.00?"

If you really want to mess them up, give them a $5 bill, 2 quarters and 3 pennies to pay for a $5.43 'meal'. Or let them ring up the $5.50 you give them to pay for it and THEN present the 3 pennies.
That is clearly above my pay grade, said a certain President.

I like to get quarters back so I use pennies whenever I can. My bill is $5.27, I give $6.02, if it's $4.78, they get $5.03. So many of the cashiers just look at me like, "Well what am I supposed to do with this?"

One of the questions at the end was about using debit or credit cards. I checked that as one of the three.
True stories about Walmart.
1. I returned some merchandise, paid for with cash, and the total return came to $19.25. I said, "let me give you $.75 so I can get a twenty back." The response, "I can't do that or my drawer won't balance." I left shaking my head.
2. Walmart's no receipt return policy is to give back cash for items totaling less than $4.99 and a gift card for items totally $5.00 to $9.99.I returned a quart of unopened motor oil which came to $4.30. I said, "Let me give you $.70 so I can get back a five," The response, "If you do that I have to give you a gift card instead of cash." So I took the $4.30 in cash,added $.70 in coins, then asked, "Can I give you this and get a five?" The response, "I told you, if you do that I have to give you a gift card." I left shaking my head.

At a Mc Donald's I gave the girl cash/a $.50 piece which clearly stated half dollar. She asked, "What is this?" I said, "You've never seen a $.50 piece." She said no, then asked how much did I give her.
Oh the tragedy and this is our future.

I had the MS company email me on behalf of the client once. The cashier tried to give me the wrong change. The order was $6.09 and I gave her $10.09. I had exact change ready as I was told my total when I ordered. The cashier tried giving me $3 change. It took me about a minute or so to convince her she owed me another $1. She finally forked over the $1 and blamed it on the cash register (though my receipt was correct). I reported all of this. The client wanted to know if I had given her a $10 bill and then later gave her the 9 cents (no), and also if she had called a manager over to help her (no). That was about it.
That's a question on a few casual dining shops I do. The shop requires cash payment, though not cash register observations. The question on the report asks if exact change was given, or if it was a rounded amount, was it rounded in favor of the customer.
I did this shop a few day back. Only one register open in the walk-in. Three ladies in front of me, together all talking on cell phones to someone else and also trying to talk to each other. All paying separately and ordering one thing and then changing their minds and ordering something else. Finally when it was my turn to order one comes backup and says she didn't want the pickle or something like that. So I get ignored while the whole "hold the pickle" thing gets worked out. I should have just turned away and gone to the restroom while this mini crisis was being worked out and come back in a few minutes. Instead I foolishly hung in there and had to answer inane questions about why it took 11 minutes to get my food.
Oh I am so glad FF shops were removed from my shoplist.
Recently I am at a FF for quick meal. MY totaled was $4.96. I gave the clerk $5. My granddaughter was with me. She had a penny. I gave it to the clerk. The clerk said to the MOD, "she gave me a penny, how much change do I give her? The MOD says just give her back her change, that's all". The clerk gives me 5 pennies. I say "I gave you a penny, the least you can give me is a nickel."
Still perplexed the clerk ask another co-worker about how much change does she get? Meanwhile, I am saying to my GD, "stay in school, baby, stay in school."
The first MOD is back at the window, I am still standing there. She says to the clerk, "what's the matter." I'm giving her her change," she replies. The clerk then says to me, " Oh this is what you want." She hands me a quarter. I turn to my GD, "let's go baby, But please stay in school, and learn everything you can."

lololol I on the other hand tell mine to learn all she can and marry a rich man too.
I've been answering my multitude of McShops that I want to use a debit card, take someone with me and do drive thru and inside separately so I don't have to eat so much. It would be great at least to be able to take grandkids with me too. Doing the two components separately means I don't have so much to eat at a time and reduces the possibility of being spotted because you just went thru the drive thru.

I recently asked for automatic assigning. The next day I received two assignments on different days in a town 25 miles away. Yes, I am going there tomorrow anyway, but the main reason I go is an assignment I get from another company about every six weeks. I don't want to go there three times in two weeks. I don't know quite how to handle this because I will have to cancel the two new ones, not reschedule them. I thought I had put in my profile that I only occasionally go there and that it wasn't included in my automatic assigning. I have another company that auto assigns me FF and I usually go on the day without having to reschedule because it is in this town. And, yes, they are not bonused. I thought auto assigning would be a way to get more assignments from this company without having to constantly check their website.
It's interesting what you are saying about the questions that might identify the shopper. Don't these companies realize that in small towns we fear we've given up our identities as it is? I have never understood the point about identifying the shopper anyway. I definitely do not want anyone except my immediate family to know I do this.

I did not take the auto assign option. IMO, it seems hard to regulate and too easy for assignments to be scheduled to you in areas you would not go.
IMO don't ever take auto assign for the arches. You'll turn a $15 shop when they call into a $7.50 quickly.
