Got a nice assignment, 4 shops 100 miles away, $75 each.
First gas station, tried to use the app on site. Nope. Opened the website and tried to report-as-I-go. Nope. More than an hour and a half later, I gave up, took the photos with my digital camera, and went to shop #2. It went OK. On to shop #3. Ordered a burger at the hedgehog shop; waited 25 minutes after I ordered, and left.
Now, heck, I remember the guidelines saying wait 20 minutes and if not served, leave.
Don't know when that changed, but when I got home and started the report, guess what? Nope. Not only did I not eat, but I won't get paid, either!
So then I go to report gas stations. #2 and #3 are there, but #1 disappeared.
Ugh ugh and ugh. A $300 profitable mini-route turned into a disaster. I can reschedule the hedgehog; I hadn't begun the report, so I merely rescheduled. No big deal, except it means driving 200 miles round trip one day this week after work (double ugh) for a crummy $75.
And wrote the helpdesk -- opening the report and doing part of it on site royally screwed up everything. If they open the report back up, I can use the photos I took with my digital camera -- IF they give the report back to me!
Since I couldn't use the app to report, I'm exhausted (over 4 hours of actual work, 4 hours of driving), and I'm looking at more hours inputting reports.
And this is my day off!
(Edited to add: The icing on the cake? Gas stations' hard deadline today, so cannot be rescheduled. )
