I just offered $20 for a hedgehog shop and it was denied, saying I could except the eight dollar listed payment.

What is Hedgehogs? I'm in TN and that one isn't familiar. I'm registered with 10-15 MSCs so I feel like I would have seen it.

Also, I'm in Nashville, gigworker capitol, so the competition here is fierce and I rarely ever seen bonuses.

No Hedgehogs here in SC, but I do see some in Tenn and NC with the new MSC!!

I'm seeing Sonic on both MSCs and 5 Guys on the one I've shopped those for before. I was confused and this explains it!

Yes - and the new MSC will, most likely, *own* the client next quarter (if history repeats itself). The MSC cannot be named because posters have listed the client, however the same thing happened a few months back with a large petro client. The MSC that you are referring to lost the petro client but both were shopping them at the same time for approximately a month.

I am still using the MSC for SONIC that I have been using for two years, same for five guys. Are you saying there’s another MSC?

BTW, 10-15 MSCs are not a large number.

It is a descriptor used on the forum when referring to Sonic drive in restaurants. I started the thread so that either the MSC or client could be named - the first person chose the client so we cannot name the MSC in this thread now.

Ok, I feel dumb - Hedgehogs -
I would love to register with more MSCs that I have, but I'm cautious to make sure the companies are legit and that isn't always easy.

I'd love to know your top 10 favorite companies!

All of the MSCs on the "Official List" are legitimate. Not all of them are still in existence. The list is being revised.

There are four Hedgehogs within a 35 ml. radius of my house. On a basis of a few occasions a week to once a month, I either pass or are within a few blocks of all four conducting non-shopping business. In my area , the pay is currently $10+$10, but there is no mention of what constitutes the required entree, side and drink. My concern is that I will either have no interest in what I am required to purchase and/or the reimbursement will not cover said items. As a matter of principal, I refuse to spend any of my money to satisfy the shop.. Please share what food is required.

I did one with the new MSC yesterday, they asked that you order their 2 for $5, side and drink if offered. So that’s under $10. The old MSC ask that your order combo, I usually end up 9.**, which is also still under $10. Food is not bad too!

Thank you TD5678, When I attempted to schedule the location around the corner from the Post Office where I deposit my e-Bay, a screen informed me the location was not available for self-assignment. As both the fee & reimbursement were quite low, I decided to not pursue the work.

It's been awhile since I did a shop with the old MSC, but from what I gathered the entree requirements appear to be about the same. Different types of burgers and hot dogs, but no chicken items.

Yes, I just did one today, and I felt like the requirements are almost an exact copy of the requirements with the old MSC. Only differences I noticed were the need for a photo of the location, and you are required to visit the restroom if it's open.

I actually think their burgers are pretty good. Much better than the golden arches!

I received an email from the (possibly) new MSC today regarding these shops, and was surprised since I hadn't known about the possible move from the old/current MSC. The majority of my shops for the current MSC come from this client, so I'll be disappointed if they move to the "new" MSC. I did log in to the new MSC's Sassie website but don't see any of these shops listed in my area. I'm not sure if it is just because they have all been taken, or that they haven't opened in my area yet. I still see some September shops for the client on the old MSC website (currently on "make an offer" ), but no October shops listed there yet.

Here's some info from the email I received from the new MSC in case anyone is interested and didn't get the same email. I hope it is okay to post, since the client name has already been mentioned in this thread:

I don’t see any hedgehog shops on sassie for my part of North Carolina. I have not had a shop on sassie in a long time.
