I would rather do the merch gigs in those stores. Merches are the best. You are permitted to be there and never check the restroom, or purchase anything, or run the risk of getting kicked out of a location.

I will only ever do price checks if it's in a big multipurpose retailer like Walmart or a supermarket chain that has really big floor space like say, Stop & Shop here on Long Island. You can lose yourself in the crowd, so to speak.
But so many MSCs offer these in little cubbyhole convenience stores with the promise that "It only should take 20 minutes!" huh? Try spending 20 minutes taking photos in a 7-Eleven on Long Island. Your chances of not being confronted are basically 0%.
Another case of Mayberry-based MSC's not understanding that all markets aren't the same.

I was doing a price check at the QT at 15th and Denver and an employee confronted me and asked what i was doing. I said i was just checking prices. My assignment was to take pictures and prices of all the grab and go selections. Within 2 minutes of him asking, the police roll up with lights flashing like they were coming to a crime scene. I went out the side door and left, never to consider doing a price check again.

I do QT frequently. The key is to split up the shop into a couple of visits. If I'm asked I tell them I'm waiting to hear back from my husband because whatever it is that he wanted wasn't available and that usually buys me some time. I can usually get in and out in about 15 minutes with two visits.

I respect and applaud your determination to get the work done. I hope you're at least getting a bonus for putting yourself through all that. That said, any situation where you have to lie and risk having the police called is more than I'm willing to deal with considering the amount of pay. Perhaps you have been able to get more money from them, but the most I was ever able to negotiate, and the amount that got me to actually try it, was $50. $50 is not worth all the hassle to me.
They are fortunate they have you to help them get their locations done.

I was doing the large club store price checks. I was approached by the manager and asked if I was there representing XXX company. He said I was NOT authorized to be there and I was asked to leave. He said the LOA was fraudulent and I should never attempt to complete any such work in their store again.
I reported this to the scheduler. The scheduler wanted to know how much of the store I had completed before I was asked to leave. I was then asked if I would be willing to return the next day to finish. Oh, let me think....NO!!!
Glad that works for you. I'll pass.@foodluvr wrote:
