Uber eats alcohol compliance delivery shops

Just got the email for this. I remember them from the last time they were posted, but IIRC they were reimbursement only, and the scenarios are obviously testing that an ID is shown, so it's likely you'd get nothing. Well, this time there is a fee plus reimbursement. My issue this time is the ethics of it. I feel like I'm a cop using entrapment lol. Do you all feel slimy doing gotcha type shops?

The company would rather be "caught" by a mystery shopper than the police or an agent from the Alcoholic Beverage Commission. While titles and enforcement vary from state to state, the idea is the same. If "we" report a problem, an employee may get fired. If the "police" find an infraction, the liquor license may be pulled, a criminal conviction may result, and an entire company may go belly-up with the loss of all jobs.

Yeah, I did one of these in the past and I'm not comfortable doing more. I understand why they are being done and don't necessarily agree with seeing if they are doing the right thing. I have concerns about reporting someone who could then lose their job and that person now knows my name and address.

Love these shops. I do all of them in my city. I get like over 30 and do them all. But they just switched these. It's no longer instant shops. They are now mystery shops and limited to 4. Really fun and easy shops. The gopuff ones are even easier. I do get not doing these as often because of someone losing their job and knowing your address. I Just did one and the driver scanned her ID. Usually this doesn't work when they do it. But this did. Felt so bad. But not sure if anything will happen
