Panda Express shops
I haven't seen any bonused so far. They seem to be sitting on the job board in my area.
No bonuses where I am. Some shoppers are taking them, but many of the lobbys are still closed. Those will only pay as a closed location.
No bonuses here either! Our lobbies have reopened and most of their restaurants here.
I got an email with maybe 100 locations or so left, and it said that Friday was the last day. But there was no bonus. So I'm guessing this is a program that doesn't have to get every location done. At least not every month.
I haven't seen an email recently about locations still available. Was it sent by a particular scheduler or an automated email like some of the shopmetrics stuff that is "notifications@msc.com" I know this particular shop is not on shopmetrics platform, but i was curious if it was generic email or a particular scheduler.
No bonuses here, either.
All were grabbed immediately in my area.
The emails I have been receiving about Panda Express have been coming from a specific independent scheduler. However, there have been no bonuses added. I might could ask for bonuses, but I have bigger fish to fry right now.

Where is the "closed location" rate?
The MSC is tight with bonuses. May you can contact the scheduler and ask for one?

I just did an online order. They didn't offer online so it becomes a closed location. I'm getting $2.00 and can't do it again for 90 days. ?
$2 for a closed online shop location is OK if I find out when I am trying to place my order that the location is closed. I would not be pleased at all if I have to get there before finding out it's closed and then I'm paid only $2.

I'm ok with the $2. I wish I didn't have to waIt 90 days since I couldn't do it.

One of the dine-in shops that I couldn't do close to home because the dining room was closed I was paid the full $6 for, and the second one, the one that is 2 hours from my house, also a dine-in that the dining room is closed, they are only paying me $2 for. I don't like it when the rules change randomly in the middle of the project.
I too am bummed at the 90-day rotation. I just wish the MSC reimbursed what the plate actually costs. In my location, the smaller plate costs $8.55 without a drink. The reimbursement of $7.50 is not enough.
I am glad to see that these underpaid shops are largely sitting on the boards,
$2 on a long rotation is wild. Same to me. I wonder, if it was “closed” why do we have to wait?
Agreed!
I am so happy that none of these are being picked up in my region. The pay is laughable. I hope they wait until the last minute to start adding bonuses and then a massive snowstorm hits the country. And I hope the client gets pissed when lots of locations don't get done.

I signed up for a Panda shop, but once I read all the timings involved (hh:mm:ss), I declined it. Not worth the piddly pay, as much as I enjoy the food.
My plate was 9 and change. I waited 30 minutes( outside) to order on a Sunday. It was ridiculous. I won't take another one.
The reimbursement only covers a bowl and no drink.
Contact the scheduler with a bonus offer. You decide what it’s worth to you to stop and fool with that. And u say it that way because I did a panda , the food wasn’t that good even though there is a reimbursement and yes the pay for even messing with it is pathetic. I don’t even look twice at the pandas.
Are these Panda shops being offered by the same MSC that was posting them pre-pandemic? (That was the "Who wants a burger?" MSC.) I only ask because I did them regularly in the past, but I have not seen any posted for about 20-22 months. I am not sure if they are using a new company, if they are simply not having locations in my area mystery shopped anymore, or if other shoppers are grabbing them up faster than me. Thanks!
I don't think so, they switch to a new one in last month.
Is it the usual company posting the Panda Express shops? If so, I contacted them and they told me they are not doing Panda Express shops yet.

No, it is now a Sassie company.
Thanks! I found the listings near me.
