I've just seen them pop up on Presto as Insta-shops. for the $5 as noted along with $3 gas and $3 purchase. They used to be $12 with a different MSC that used Shopmetrics in Upstate NY.
I do have to admit I picked up one of these insta-shops on Presto for $6 plus the $6 reimbursement. I was on a route and the location was two blocks from a highly bonused shop and I needed gas for the route. I got $5.03 in gas and a soda for $2.52.
I went over on the gas purposefully because how many people put less than a gallon of gas in their car and it's $3.49 a gallon?
I wonder if I'll get the full $6 reimbursement or just $5.52. And I know I probably screwed someone who was waiting for a bonus.
With the old MSC I was always able to negotiate a higher shop fee for the out of the way locations prior to going to them. The location I did today is just such a location. I probably would have gotten $15-20 shop fee depending on how often it was taken for the base fee in the past.
The other thing I noticed is there was another insta-shop listed in my route that disappeared after I did the first one.
But how do you negotiate a bonus with an insta-shop?
