My 18 year old cleaned up with those Gulf night shops this quarter. Apparently he was the only one willing to do them around here.@LIJake wrote:
Don't think they went to an app. Last quarter the Shell shops disappeared quickly, before I could self-assign any. So this time I was able to grab some. In my area all gas station shops from this MSC disappear quickly, except Gulf night shops.

It's my opinion that many of those shops may have been posted in January in error. I now see those same shops posted as February shops. It's as if they were removed from January only to be added for shops to be performed in February.

For the seasoned shoppers out there, how long does it take you to do these Shell shops? I'm using the MSC's app, which is super clunky in my opinion cuz it wont let me jump to specific questions. I've never done gas stations before but most of them are taking a little over an hour. I think the MSC wants them done in under an hour. Not sure how thats possible when some of the stations I've done have 16 fueling locations and every one of them had an infraction or two. Plus not to mention its 20degs out. I made the rookie mistake of signing up for a bunch of them and after doing the first one, I dreaded doing the others but got em all done. For the amount of work/pictures/time required, imo they are not worth the $12.50, 2 gals of gas & $2 C-store. There are still more in my area but I dont know how I could get them done faster to make them worth my time.

Are we not allowed to ask which MSC you are referring to?

That's a good idea. After 10 of them, I know what to look for and I wouldn't have to fight the app. It keeps crashing and locking up. I can't believe that the Marathon & Circle K in my area pay $7 for what seems like a vary similar shop thru a different MSC.

There are a ton of BPs in my area that haven't been scooped up yet & they pay $19. I was thinking about trying one since they pay more than Shell and I already have a vest just need to get a name tag. Do they ever offer these jobs in the spring or summer? I need to get a pair of cheap gloves & cut the tips off so I can work my phone.
