Tobacco Audit shops

August 31, 2022 07:41PM
These shops in my area just posted for $11/location, so the pay has gone up. They want the prices of 10 cigarettes/tobacco products, 5 single pack and 5 multipack if discounted. If no discount, just put in N/A. They DO have an LOA to print out and show....is this something new??? Was there no LOA last go-round??? I'm wondering now, with the LOA and increased fee, if these would be worth doing. There are a bunch near me, all within 10 miles or less. This is NOT the NJOY job.

A lot depends on whether the store is busy or not. I've done one shop where it required the employee to scan something to either tell me if they were in stock or what the price was, I can't remember which. These were for R.J.Reynolds.

I haven't had a problem getting access behind the counter to count the number of slots the tobacco product occupied. But I do believe I've had a LOA even in the past shops I did in December. Hell, I can't believe it was that long ago.

Still too low. Employees have no time with busy registers to ring. There are some around me. I say no thanks

This one doesn't seem to require getting behind the counter to count any slots or number of products. It seems to only want the price for each of 10 items. The one you reference must be something else.

Has anyone done the NJOY jobs? There seem to be a lot of them, but I am curious how much work is involved. Do you get an LOA? Are you allowed to go behind the counter or does the cashier do the count? Of course they make it sound easy.

Just like this cig price audit assignment. The last word in the pitch was "Quick." -- Yeah, ok.

I can't imagine doing the cig price check audit with people waiting in line, but are you going to hang out until the line goes down to no one?
