Last night, I did a drive in stalll shop at a fast food place. I get ready to upload my pictures and I didnt take the required menu board and garden area pictures.

What's the craziest thing that you've forgotten to ddo on a shop?

It was probably when I discovered during the shop that I was at the wrong location.
How much time do you have?

Shopped the wrong location, on the wrong date, or at the wrong time. Forgot to get a receipt. Didn't check my phone or would have realized I took pictures in selfie mode. Lost the receipt before taking a picture of it. Forgot to take a picture of the back of the parking ticket. Forgot my wallet and had to drive all the way back home to get it.
I recently went to the wrong mall. I knew better too! There are two very close together with an interstate separating them. The problem was that I did this during peak traffic on a Saturday.
Took the wrong friend on a fine dining shop once. I knew she was too impatient butt I thought at least she could remember not to pipe up and call staff overvwith criticisms while on the shop. She still does not understand what she did wrong.
Went inside to order instead of the drive though. Among other gaffes.

Did the wrong gas station,added fours hours of driving to my trip to fix it, and ended up doing the wrong staion again.
Forgot to take paperwork including introduction letter to a movie theater about 40 minutes from home. After walking out from trailer check # 3 of 15 the new manger confronted me and wanted to see the paper work I didn't have on me. I ended up driving home and scrapping the rest of the project.
Took a bite of the sub sandwich before taking the photograph. Noticed my phone sitting there after I took the bite, shook my head and went to get a second sandwich. Saved half of the first and half of the second one to take home.
I have forgotten to take a photo of the front of the building too many times to count. I once dropped a receipt in to a huge, deep puddle. I knew picking it up would not go well so I took the photo while it was intact and underwater because as soon as I picked it up it went to shreds. That was fun to explain!

For product tests/reviews I have opened and used the product before taking the photo of how it arrived in the box-I'm just too excited and forget everything I'm supposed to do like I haven't been doing this for AGESSSSSSS
Thank you, friends,--these have absolutely made my day. We are not alone.
Operating on auto-pilot, I did a Phillips 66 debrand but took the pictures that are required for the normal EIA shop.

Did not realize it until I made a pitstop and checked my phone

1.5 hours roundtrip to return and get the correct photos.

Have synthesizers, will travel...
I went to the wrong restaurant location, had a great experience, took all the pictures and notes. We then went to the correct location and it was terrible.
Forgot to take a pic of the outside of the restaurant... TWICE. Two shops, forgot both times. Had to drive back and take the damn pic.

Another restaurant shop, I did dine in but was assigned bar shop. Luckily, the scheduler was able to switch it for me because the dine in was never assigned.

Got a shop rejected because I had googled an address and took a screen shot of the image. Accidentally uploaded that pic to the report and it got rejected for using a google image. Even though... it had nothing to do with the required pics.

Took a bite of the food before taking a pic... salvaged it by using some good photography tricks and garnish.

I am sure there are more.
I've taken a bite of the food so many times. Always take the best picture I can and include a note.

Forgot to take the pictures of all the pumps, when that was required, after the attendant expressed amazement about my age doing this work and it totally threw me off....thinking, I'm not OLD!! Didn't even take one photo.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
too many to count, I could write the book....lol

Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on
Got to the restaurant for a shop that requires several pictures, and realized I left my phone at work. I added a lot of extra driving time to that shop!
Its nice to know that we are all human and make mistakes. Once, we started etring wings and forgot the photo. We put the bones and a napkin on the bottom of the bowl to make up for the eaten wings. It was accepted. I have also done that with the fries that I have eaten and forgot the photo. I wish the companies would have consistent criteria.
Performed a night shop in daylight hours.

On the latest Presto shops where you make a purchase 1 x w/ card and 1 x w/cash and verify if there is any signage regarding card purchases. Last round in my area required using VISA for the card purchase. I knew this loud and clear as I picked several of them up. I used a Mastercard debit card on one instead.
Buy a taco as my inside purchase. Go to my car to eat the taco. FInish the taco. Drive off. That night wonder why I can't find the photos for that station.
