Anyone done the new Chevron shops?

Where you only reveal if the clerk is out of uniform?

Doubting they are worth the measly pay currently being offered, but curious as to what is involved.

TIA!

I like these.. I'm rarely in the gas station more than 10 minutes. It's quick and all you do is take photos of a couple of negative issues if there are any and get a photo of the clerk if they're not in uniform.

CoolMusic, these shops are not new. They've been around forever. The employee photo started about 2 years ago. If you had been doing the fully revealed audit, you were not able to see these on the old platform so that could be why they seem new.

P.S. Did they give a reason for your green/white ban? Is it something that can be fixed? Sorry to hear that.

The uniform pic is the hardest part, and it's not even that hard. At first it was a pain having to say I need a pic because you are out of uniform. Now I just say I'm going to do a quick audit, take the uniform pic first, and then say, "That's it."

Exactly. I’m not arguing with any gas station clerks. I am now saying, “I need to get your photo here behind the counter. Thanks.”

I've been doing Image Branding shops for over three years now. I don't do the Chevron mystery shops at all. I just walk in and say, "I'm here to take the pictures for Chevron/Texaco". They always know what I'm talking about.

Anyone else just praying that the associate will just have on a uniform?

Heck yes. Every single time.

I have actually noticed a LOT more uniforms and name tags than there were before the photo thing started. Some stations had a wear-watever-you-want policy for countless years. Now there are uniforms.
