I did the shop and my total with the small meal was $ 10.49
My meal was good.
On side note: since I followed the guidelines it says I will be reimbursed the full amount (in 2 payments) but on other shops I do for them I won't be reimbursed? Why is that
I am guessing, and I could be wrong, that the client has agreed to pay the additional amount to make the shopper whole for a SPECIFIC meal purchase. Arby's shops specify exactly which meal you must buy. On most other shops, there is not a specific meal. Within limitations, the shopper is permitted to select which items he wants to purchase, and he can usually get the meal and stay within the reimbursement or he can spend a bunch more than the reimbursement, depending on what he selects. For example, on one drive in shop, the reimbursement is $7.80. If I buy breakfast, I am always within the reimbursement. If I buy a regular size hamburger, fries or tots, and a large drink, I am at $7.78 including tax. If I buy a regular size coney and tots, I can get an enormous sized drink or a shake and still stay within reimbursement. However, if I choose to buy a double burger or a foot long hot dog, I will exceed the reimbursement. I think the difference here is that in Arby's case, the shopper is locked into the choice of meal and with other shops the shopper can choose a meal that is within reimbursement or can choose a meal that will cost him extra.
