Some Blue gas changes this round

April 07, 2021 12:11AM
The limit is now 15 per day instead of 10 (Yay!). We are still looking for two specific types of oil and a photo is still required either way but now there only has to be a total of six facings and it doesn't matter if it's one type, the other or both. I haven't read everything yet...

That's a game changer, although I was getting a little spoiled doing only 10 some days.

Yes! Now, with the new, lower bonus amounts, we can make almost the same money in a day by doing 15 stations and working more hours!

So far with the new oil requirement, I've answered both ways.
When I've answered that there were more than 6 facing of just one type passed, I received a lower score due to my answer (the person reviewing my answers left comments that I should review the oil requirements).
So, after being instructed that my answer was incorrect, later shops that I answered "No" even though there was more than 6 facings of one type, my score was a "10".

Most of my gas stations only carry the one type and not the other. Even on my worksheet, I list the the total count on the types. So, I know my answer is correct, yet I cave to the editor's instructions.

All I can say is the editors are obviously not following their company's instructions!

Yup, the oil thing drives me nuts. An editor wrote to me to change my Yes answer to No because they didn't have the required oils. I wrote back and pointed out that there were 8. She apologized, said I was correct, and I received a "10" on the report. So if you think you are correct, don't change it. Maybe they are going by old guidelines. Crazy though

The consensus has been that Sunoco is longer being shopped. No one here has seen them posted with any MSC. Or they're just not telling.

If I were given the opportunity, I would do that. However, I never get that far - the editor just marks me lower with the instruction to review the oil requirements and specifically the types and amounts. Perhaps they believe my amount is incorrect, but, in reviewing my photos for those shops, there is enough in the photo to ascertain the amount. SMH

I named Sunoco but there is no MSC to connect it to. So no violations. That's why I threw the name in.

It doesn't matter; there are no Sunoco in this part of the country anyway. I did buy some stock in the company even though their gas is not available to me.

MSC is not mentioned in this thread so why not mention the gas station? Mobil and Chevron have Blue in their logos. Actually, red, white and blue. lol.
