Hi Plarka,
Welcome to the forum! If you want to stay under reimbursement, stick with a veggie sandwich or grilled cheese.
The MSC does not set the price; the client does. $12.75 must be their fixed cost.

Talking about sticking to the veggie sandwich to stay under budget; it has 440 calories, 15 grams of fat, and 1040 mg of sodium. I stopped buying the veggie sandwich because I thought since it was "veggies" it would be better for me and a healthy alternate.

But this is counter productive for the client as they will probably get less reviews of their burger which I assume would be important to them. Someone at the MSC should at least let them know that a higher reimbursement will get them more burger reviews. I know, a lot of assumptions by me here.
In my experience if you wait them out a little, Big Lots will eventually get a fee. In my high-population area (Long Island) it admittedly usually isn't big enough to do it unless it's a "stocking stuffer" in a geographical cluster with other shops I'm doing (although I was shocked to pull in a $20 fee on one here about a month ago -- rare!). I also have ties to North Carolina which I visit a lot and have gotten some surprisingly handsome bonuses for BL down there and in Virginia on the way to or fro. Just wait 'em out, if a bottom feeder grabs them at no fee, plenty of other fish in the sea.@author.jbjones wrote:
Probably not. I've inquired about this, also, weeks ago. I'm more concerned that this MSC doesn't pay a fee to do grocery stores and Big Lots. Even with high gas prices, they still seem to think shoppers are anxious and willing to work for nothing.
Yeah, my policy is, if I'm getting a sizable bonus I'll "donate" the $1.75-ish overage that is typical of a burger order in my area, and give them the burger review they want. If I take one with a modest bonus, all bets are off, I order veggie sandwich or grilled cheese and stay within reimbursement.@Plarka wrote:
I did a Five Guys today and my total for Little Burger, Little Fries and Regular Drink was 13.89. The other day it was 13.74. The reimbursement is 12.75. I emailed the help desk but do you think they'll do anything? I'm new at this.
At my local FG, I am able to get a regular fries and large drink with the veggie sandwich and stay under reimbursement. I did one last week where I would have been able to get the large fries and only gone over by around 50c, buy didn't need enough fries to feed a family of four! So I got the veggie sandwich with cheese instead, so I spent closer to the max.@Tarantado wrote:
You want to get the lowest cost possible? Veggie Burger, Little Fries and a Regular Drink.

Funny (or sad) thing is that the guidelines say that the client prefers that you order a burger. Yeah, well we prefer that they cover the cost!
Just wanted to make it clear that it is not a veggie burger. It is a sandwich with veggies. Basically a burger, hold the meat.@ShopperFun99 wrote:
Maybe if none of us order a Burger, but only ordered a veggie burger
