Seems to me that I get $1 more in income and pay tax on $1 more, so I come out ahead unless my marginal tax rate is >100%
I'm ignoring mileage expenses since they would be the same in either case.
And that assumes you do enough shops for the MSC to get a 1099. Or do you all claim ALL your mystery shopping income even when you don't get a 1099?

Well, I just did some research by using the Panda Express app. $7.50 won't even cover a bowl at some of the locations in my area.

Yea, this is true, but I carry filtered water with me (minimum of two 34 oz. bottles), I don't like to drink soda fountain drinks. I quit drinking carbonated beverages in 2009, and for a number of years I didn't do dine in fast food shops because they all have a drink requirement.

I did one and got my lowest score for any mystery shop ever, a six! (No I don’t care as I’m still getting paid the same.)

Amyann, happy to share. I got the report back with this comment from the editor: - "Please explain in the overall comments why your food was in a take out container with a bag.
- OverallSatComment: Please provide comments to support your response to your satisfaction with this visit. It is required to have at least three sentences."
I explained the food was served in a takeout container because I wasn't offered any other option, and added a sentence to the overall satisfaction comment field, which wasn't hard since my initial narrative in the other narrative field went well over the character limit. The report was then approved with the six score. Most of the shops I do for this MSC are on their other platforms or are Sassie ones I've done so often that there's almost no chance of an editor sending it back. My impression is the six rating is fairly standard for this MSC if the editor has to send the report back. As my overall score remains 10 and I'll be paid the same this is of no concern to me beyond general bemusement that such an easy shop yielded my lowest score from any MSC ever.

Yeah, I also received a 6 from a lady named Tina. She asked me the same question:
- The photo uploaded for your food ordered photo was in a take out box and bag. Did you dine in or take out?
I had to explain that every customer was served in a carry-out container.

Thanks. I was wondering if there was a purchase drink requirement. The reimbursement will cover the meal here.

I suggest that other people report the original post. Unfortunately, that would mean that you and I are going to get reported as well, Sandy! Maybe I should report you, and you can report me?

When I read this the first time I thought it was just a typo and meant to read ”like”. Still think so.
