Mystery Shop with bad descriptions....

has anyone else dealt with a specific company that does a lot of food shops and the descriptions list 2-4 different locations and its hard to tell what you are actually shopping? I've over come this issue by shopping the address listed BUT Lately I've been noticing shops for food delivery, I took one and it said to use a specific delivery app in the job description, luckily i looked at the report and the report said two different delivery apps.... I inquired with the scheduler with no answer until the second day and second request.... I almost wasted a shop because the shop listed in the description was not the one they wanted and the one they did want does not deliver to me. how can this person keep posting these horrible shops?

You get what you pay for ...

Don't take this the wrong way but I have no idea what you are talking about.

You have to watch the location, address, streets, meal times, etc..
So many variables, due to many locations close by in certain cities; I hear you. It can be very confusing, for just a few duckets. Be selective, and do not accept low offers.

Unfortunately the company is the least transparent of all. You just have to invest the extra time to google the addresses and decide if the pay is worth the extra trouble. For some of them, you have to actually assign them to get a clue what the shop is and what it requires.

I have two rules that come to my mind this morning. First, if there is a significant amount of info, BUT, the fee is missing, I delete the announcement. Secondly, there is an MSC with the owner's name in the title, the name escapes me, but she never lists the locations; I also delete.

Yes, those are the two most important pieces of information necessary to make a decision whether to apply for the shop.

A new one to you. It's a well known slang for money.

Well, but, well known by whom? An Italian who lived 400 years ago? I have heard of that word but not in the broader context of the slang. This reminds me of my scrabble dictionary that claims Za is well known slang for Pizza. I have lived in many states in the US and several countries abroad and eaten pizza in every one of them and have never heard it called Za.

Well, it is well known enough for Merriam-Webster to list it as a variant spelling of "ducat," for there to be an Urban Dictionary listing in 2008, for Habbo (established in 2000) to use it as one of its main currencies, for it to be a common term in poker (though "duckett" is the more common spelling), and for it to be in song lyrics. That's a pretty wide spread of demographics.

I have heard of pizzas referred to as "Za," but rarely and not lately. I am in California.

Just looked it up in Miriam Webster and it says it is the name of the currency a long time ago. There is no reference there that I could find that it is generally used now to mean money. It also evidently is the name for the currency in game Habbo you mention and also for poker players. Not sure what percentage of people are familiar with the name money is called in either game but I personally would not consider this to be widely known as a word used to mean money in today's world. Yes, I have heard the word in the context of the currency in Italy long ago.
Anyway we are way off the subject. Thanks for an education into urban lore.
