I have quite a bit of experience with these, and they generally take me between 20 to 40 minutes on site. And they take me 20 to 40 minutes to debrief on my phone. Therefore, I would say that the average location takes about an hour total of my time. They're not difficult, they are just long. They want photos of every infraction. They also want overall photos if there are no infractions. You have to get names and or descriptions, and you have to observe and evaluate multiple associates. These are not worth doing for the base pay. Not even close. However, they generally bonus well towards the end of the month. Without travel, I will do one of these for $25. I wouldn't consider doing them for less than that. They are also more lucrative if you really need the food. However, when I'm shopping alone, having to purchase a meal inside and another meal through the drive-thru just leaves me with more food than I need. If it's close to home and you can refrigerate the food, or you have friends or family that can eat the additional food, then that's cool.
The least of my concern, as stated above, would be the restroom. They are generally clean and well maintained. Often the locations are quite busy, though, and that can make any photos a bit more challenging. You just have to be fearless. You have to just go in there and start taking pictures.
There are 7 to 9 narrative boxes, so if you do four to five sentences per narrative box, you will be looking at about 35 sentences total of narrative.
I can't believe people pick these up for the starting base pay. But that's their prerogative I suppose.
