Someone took all the Five Guys shops in my area for a whopping changed fee of $12. Taking shops for low fees ruins it for everyone! Wish people would learn to not jump on things. I have gotten up to $30 for a 5 guys- but when shoppers jump on $12 shops it ruins things for everyone

Dollar stores, fast food, groceries, gas stations, everywhere I go it seems like there are now 1 or 2 employees doing the work of 5 or 6 because corporate won't allow enough payroll to efficiently run their outlets.

Shopperbob observes - "In business, companies desire from their ICs as much work as possible, for the least amount of money."
It's not just ICs. I've noticed lately that it applies to employees now more than ever. Dollar stores, fast food, groceries, gas stations, everywhere I go it seems like there are now 1 or 2 employees doing the work of 5 or 6 because corporate won't allow enough payroll to efficiently run their outlets.
Something's got to break. They can't keep up the greedflation and still continue to stay in business. Or can they?

Sorry but I don't really consider $12 a low fee for Five Guys when you get a meal with it. So you are basically getting $30 to do an (easy) job that takes about 15-30 minutes with another 15-30 minutes for the report. A lot of restaurants offer NO fee just the reimbursement for the meal. Five Guys I have found to be more generous than most of the restaurant shops. If you are trying to make a career out of mystery shopping it is probably not the career for you.
So, again, sorry. If I am hungry and there is a Five Guys close to me I am taking it, even for $12.

For that particular location. But if you live in an area that has three Five Guys you can take all three and do Sestrahelena's scenario that way.@wrosie wrote:

Once you take a shop at a 5 Guys location, all the other shóps for that location are no longer available to you for about a month due to rotation.
However, that's not always true as I just found out if they need the location shopped.

There are 3 grocery stores near me that are shopped. I've gotten $30 to shop them. But since August they are gone at $12.
New shopper who apparently shops at the store anyways and figured it's a discount.
There is no way to tell other shoppers to wait for higher pay.

Regarding Five Guys, I always picture in my mind a single mother with three kids on Hard Times taking all three shops in her area so that the kids can eat. At the first shop one gets the burger the other two share the fries and then they rotate the Burger on the next two shops so each of the kids gets a burger. She just picks at the fries all along. And they keep refilling the sodas and sharing them.

We never know what other people are going through and dealing with in their lives. There have been times in my life where getting $12-$18 in between my regular job's paychecks bought enough food or gas to make it to payday.

What you don't seem to understand is if you would wait, you could do the same shop for $20-30 instead of $12.
That's what people here are saying.
