Email says:
"VERY Easy $17 Arby's Drive Thru Shops!!
Can you complete any shops by Sun. Oct 2?
These shops pay $5 Shopper Pay + $12 Reimbursement"
SMH, Arby's MSC. You got my hopes up making me think the pay was $17, not the low starting pay plus reimbursement.

Like HB said, I do not like being told what to order, either. I did have a truly easy Subway shop Tuesday. It was to see if the cashier was correctly entering the sale when you pay with cash. Sure enough, he saw the cash in my hand and did not enter the sale on the register. He used a calculator and told me what my cost was. Then I was supposed to act like I forgot to order 3 cookies and use cash again. The minute I did that he just said: "Two dollars." I guess they are having a huge problem with associates pocketing the cash. Yikes. The shop only paid $5.00 and reimbursed the sandwich - $10.72, cookies - $2.00, and I received the payment already today, $17.72. The shop was 2 miles from me so, I did not care about the low pay. Locations further away were listed at $8.00 base.

Maybe they are thinking of percentage increase and basing their "huge."
So if a shop pays $5 and they add $2 bonus, that's a 40% bonus. So in their minds, that is HUGE. In most shopper minds, $2 is a waste of time.

Well RBG is sending an e-mail whose subject states "phone shop".
If you open the e-mail you will find that it is actually a chat, phone call, web inquiry and some kind of digital app shop. There are four components to the shop. Now it does pay $42, but it's not just a phone shop!
To me this is very misleading.

Another MSC just posted "$2 Church's 2-piece FEAST combo + $10 reimb, dine-in/drive-thru, your choice!"
At least they were honest and saved many people from bothering to open the link.

Re Subway it was a 100% app based company that is known for the scavenger hunts ???? They don't do tons of mystery shopping or audits. But the subway showed up for either credit card or cash shops in some locations.

I almost accepted one of the Subway shops where you had to pay cash, then pretend you just forgot or thought to add 3 cookies. After a few days of seeing these, I thought surely the cashier is on to us, with so many people forgetting the cookies until the last minute. And then paying for the cookies by credit card? If not, they'll find out later if they didn't ring up the cash sale.

TBH I kind of like the Arby's shops. They are pretty easy and don't take that long and I don't mind ordering only the promo. It's nice to tack on to a route and not have to pack lunch. It's always interesting though because there are about 10 within 30 minutes of me and half of them start at $15 and the other half start at $5. Guess which ones I do?
