Race to Zero is over Field Agent Do Work No Pay

A couple of days ago I was on Field Agent. They had a Just for Fun! category listed at $0.00.

They want you to go to a designated location and take a pic of the best halloween display in the store. No pay and they point out they are not charging their clients for this. You can do up to 20 of these! I am failing to see where the fun part is.

Each submission gets you into a drawing for a $25 Field Agent credit. I suppose this means money since you wouldn't buy anything from them.

If you are gonna lie to me, tell me that the drawing is for a million bucks, not $25. I didn't see this listed yesterday, but it was there today with fewer locations than Monday. These people have no shame.

I was wondering when somebody was going to bring up this gem. I've been trying to think a little better of Field Agent lately because believe it or not, they've actually had a few series of jobs in my area in the last several weeks that were decent pay for the work involved. But at some point, they're bound to remind you of who they are, and here it is.

Yeah, I'm going to schlepp around a colossal home improvement store looking for Halloween displays for no money. I've reached the conclusion they've got to be trolling the shoppers by now. "Hey Phil, you know the one where we make them circle the supermarket five or six times, taking five or six photos each cycle, and we pay them 3 freaking dollars? And some people actually take them! Well let's try this: Make 'em go searching for Halloween displays in a store bigger than several European countries, for nothing! Haw haw haw haw haw ..."
I never do anything for free or for the possibility or the chance of winning something (looking at you Market Force lol) I get paid to do the wild thing.
the “i’m going to be there anyway” crowd rushed to take them
Thank you all once again for teaching me never to take a survey or do a job for a 'chance' to win anything.
I do miss the carboard recycling bundle shops FA used to have.. I would string lots of them together when traveling on secondary highways where it took me less than 5 minutes per location to snap the pics and answer the questions

The Tone Loc reference got you a like.
Those were pretty sweet. There was also a period where that would overlap with some of the online ordering at the same store.
