What shops have you regretted taking?

I did one Sbarro, never again, I didn't even like the pizza I had to order. Way too spicy for me. I had to throw it out.

I know Gelson's well, their bakery is great, (pricey) a cup of coffee and a pastry, they have WIFI, so doing report right there works, however, 22 pages is a bit extreme, although I see them on the board all the time, I'll pass.
They are known as one of the Valley's high end groceries, but not nearly enough money, do you have to scrub their floors or what? Thx for the tip, I was thinking about it as my friend lives up the hill from the Encino one.

I'm curious to know where you live as I get paid once a month. Maybe different companies.

Ok so there is more than one company. I shop for the company that you mention and always on time pay

I regretted applying for a certain group of phone shops once I learned that there are 71 questions on the report. First I cancelled the other pending applications and then I turned around and cancelled the three that I had been assigned. Made the decision that if I cannot view the guidelines before applying, I need to inquire as I noticed some companies don't allow for self cancellation and don't respond to such requests until after the shop.
It irks my nerves to cancel what I agreed to, but 213 questions for $15 I will not do.

My only problem with the IKEA shops was that it took forever to find an employee in the Marketplace area.
The one I hated was where I had to go into my actual bank and claim they had falsely opened an account for me. I understand why, but I always felt like they were giving me the fisheye whenever I went back in on my own business.

I hated all the late night shops that had a short period of time to submit the reports and/or the ones they take shops off the board. I understand that's part of the agreement I signed up for but it sucks when I woke up to find out there's nothing to report.
