My experience is 75% of fast food employees could care less what you are doing. And if they do ask,, I'm sending a text to someone about what they would want with their sandwich.

You don't have to. Vertical is just fine. I've done some of these.

Hold your phone vertically, act like you're texting or even taking a selfie. So many people are absorbed in their phones these days that nobody looks twice at you doing it.

There are no drive thru's around where I live unless the place has been around for many years. At a million dollars or so a square foot in Los Angeles ( a bit but really not much of an exaggeration) only the older fast food places have a drive thru. Having been to the local Jersey Mikes before I was surprised to see that the one near me said drive thru in the subject line. But the actual individual job said dine in. It was a poor choice of a subject line as some shoppers here would not have even opened the email.
The other misnomer is advertising it as a free meal when the cost of the meal is more then the reimbursement unless one wants to drive over, order and do a report for a half a sandwich.

I'm looking right at that email that specifically states Jimmy John's drive thru but there is no location listed in that city!.

Apropos of nothing, does anyone know why the MSC offers Jersey Mike's shops in New Jersey but not on Long Island, where I live? I get emails almost daily from the MSC because the NJ locations are technically within my "willing to travel" limit but when I set that mileage limit originally I meant go east, not west.
I mean, New Jersey is fairly close to me, "as the crow flies," but there's this big honking silver turd between me and NJ called NEW YORK CITY. So between horrific traffic and usurious bridge tolls, NJ is not an option.
I'm guessing there's some sort of weirdness where the Jersey Mike's on Long Island are privately owned and the ones in NJ are franchised and are required to participate in the corporate mystery shop program? I don't know, I'm spitballing here, does anyone know?

Agreed and even if you did hold it horizontally no one's paying attention to what you're doing as you're ordering your sandwich.

I thought this MSC always requires horizontal, even on presto shops. I assumed that it was a setting on their end that that always puts the pic sideways if I use vertical. I have not done this specific shop, though, or it's sandwich competitor. Don't need a sandwich that badly to spend the time for just food.

Jersey Mike's stores are usually franchised. The five near me in Southwest Jersey are owned by the same franchise owner and share the same promotions (often tied to the Eagles). To the best of my knowledge, they are not shopped. I don't think that there is a "corporate" MS program since I have never seen one in Southwest Jersey or in the area where I grew up (and still visit) near the original store in Point Pleasant, NJ.

This shop description is so confusing. I got a push notification for the firefighter subs competitor shop for Jimmy John's / Jersey Mike's. However, it specifically said drive thru Jimmy John's on the email. I then clicked on a city that is about an hour from me but I am going out that way tomorrow and the address said N/A. I tried to Google the location for Jimmy John's, but could not find it in that city. I emailed the scheduler about the address and received an email stating shop the store closest to me the scenario assigned? I'm looking right at that email that specifically states Jimmy John's drive thru but there is no location listed in that city! I guess they don't want someone to accept the shop because the response I received was not at all helpful.

I'm super irked about one of these jobs. My first job to get burned on. The guidelines say it is for either Jersey Mike's or Jimmy John's and to map which is closer. So I did that. Got an email I failed and got a 1/10 because I did the wrong one. I said I mapped them as instructed. No response after that. Very irked.
Does anyone ever try to contact the company when you get burned by conflicting information? They obviously have your work. I highly doubt they are just throwing it out.

I don't think so. I've done tons of shops for this MSC and never had a requirement for horizontal versus vertical.
