Which MSC is this for?

@Andrew475,
MSC cannot be named now, since the Client is given in the title. Sorry.

I was all excited, but I haven't got the memo on this one yet either.

the food is subpar at best but at least the reimbursement covers the meal and it’s something different.

Around here they are all for dinner. I will wait for the lunch shops since they can be done solo and provide enough food to take home for several meals if you order selectively.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Dinner in my area. I prefer lunch. Will wait. Thanks for heads up. It is the same MSC that had pre pandemic.

I am not asking for the name of MSC since that is not allowed, but any hints/rhyming/name assocation/software platform would be nice to know.

This MSC used to have 12-hour reporting deadlines for most of its shops. Its reports are often broken down into different sections, with each section requiring a certain number of sentences. A new reporting platform replaced the old reporting platform not too long ago.

The one in my city never gets shopped but the ones 25 or so miles north do. They were all snapped up by the time I looked. I'll be on the alert for them. My husband loves that place but it is not as easy to do them after he tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Only one of the locations in my area was listed. It was snapped up before I saw it.

I find this company to be too picky with the reporting. They actually rewrote one of my description, and it then had spelling and grammar errors. No matter how good the meal, sometimes it's just not worth the grief.

Picky reporting makes me wonder if it is one of the 2 narrative-intense companies. That is what I think of when I hear "picky reporting."

It would be nice if other shops left some better clues than just saying they have their platform (not sassie, shopmetrics, etc). Any rhymes, word associations, or other clues would be nice.

FrugalCat had a great clue that maybe you didn't pick up on regarding her husband's injury.

Yes, I get it now. It's the 3 letter acronym. I can't remember the last time I did a shop for them. They were always too overboard in their requirements for my liking so I stopped shopping for them awhile back.

It would be nice to see someone who did this shop post how the report was. How many questions? Same amount of narrative as usual?

10 sections of narrative.

Saw these shops on the board in a different city, but none available near me. Are they only for certain locations? I'm in CA and I saw it on the board for a different state.

I saw some in larger cities about 2 hours away from me, but not one posted for the local one which is in a much smaller town.
