Will This Be the New Exxon / Mobil Shop??

Regarding the SE, I did not see anywhere in the instructions that the vest photo is still required. In fact, it was not mentioned at all in the page that shows and explains all of the required photos. However, when you get to the absolute end of the survey, it will ask for the picture of your attire. So, be ready for that.

Also, I hate Presto!

I don't even know what my final answers turned out to be because every time I touched the screen to scroll or find the appropriate answer it changed previous answers to something else. It's extremely sensitive and there is no sidebar for scrolling. Much time is lost rechecking or unchecking answers that got accidentally changed.

disappointed there isn’t more uproar over this. i remember when maritz switched over to ipsos there were a ton of us upset, but this is 1,000 times worse . presto is total junk, and pay is outrageously low. i’m guessing a lot of people have just given up over the past couple years.i actually really liked sassie, never had an issue with it. presto is janky as heck, it stinks. app is just a mess to look at. i envisioned myself doing these for a long time, but for $12? we’re all worth more than that.

And, just as in the past, there is no mention that the photo must show the shopper wearing the safety vest, just the attire that was worn.

I wish they would put the time out at the end of the report instead of the beginning. I always guesstimate my time out so I don't have to go back and find that slot when finished, but sometimes I forget to check if it's close enough and submit with whatever time guestimated. It's a pain to scroll through the long reports to get back to the beginning. I suppose if I left it blank, it would take me back there before I could submit it, but I'm not sure.

I also forgot how much I freeze when doing these shops at night. So much for the lighting audits...it's been unseasonably warm here until this week. ugh

The answer to that question depends on one's quality of work, so I would disagree with your assertion that "all" is worth more than $12. Some people do crappy work, don't actually check all the pumps or interior parts of the c-store. Those people are not worth even $12 per job.

Last night, excluding my truck stop shop for another MSC, I made an average of $32.67 per hour doing nothing but E/M site experience and lighting audits. I could have done better than that if I had stayed hyper local, but I got a late start and decided to do the locations that were still local, but furtherest from my home.

I live in an area where there are mostly only service type jobs. I can't use my college degrees here. I'll gladly take $32.67 per hour for work that is not difficult and that I enjoy.

the only thing that they've accomplished by posting both shops at the same time is that no one is going to do the site experience shops by themselves during daylight.. And I don't mind $22 for half as many pictures and half as much time as a single $15 shop used to be. That being said, I'm only going to leave the house to do them if they are on an already established route, at least until the pay goes up.

They might, as in people like me who did all the lighting ones first, and now the site visits have gone up in price. I mainly did that because it was too cold to do the shops at night, and I could do the lighting shops barely getting out of my car. So now in my area there is a slew of site shops still sitting there all alone! (I'm waiting to feel less lazy before I pick any up)

Just wait. You'll see. When MSC seduces and recruits more shoppers in your areas, you'll never again see shops linger till bonus time. You'll barely see any left the day after they're posted. Trust me, my area is flooded and my choices are few. Trust also that MSC will not leave any area unflooded. They're working diligently on that.

Car counting? That is a new one to me, will have to go search it.

I love car counting
