Are they labeled as 'gold' or 'premium'? I see some shops ( I forget the MSC) with $200.00 reimbursement for dining. Is this premium or does anyone have a chance to be assigned? I have no idea at any of the MSC if I am being offered select assignments.

This one was called Napa, I'm guessing it's not a chain since I have not heard of it before. It's about an hour from me.

This is good to know, I always read the parameters as saying they would not reimburse the tip under any circumstances. I agree with usually tipping any overage if it's not a place that one would usually tip 15-20%.

I have done one and I had no trouble getting paid even though I gave the location a fail. When the employee handed it to me, I thought it was frozen because it was so cold. Everything inside the bun was rolled up into a cucumber shape and the bottom bun was soggy.

As shoppers, we do not pass or fail a client on an assignment. We simply report what happens and the information we provide is reported back to the client after editing. Are you one of Kayla’s followers since this is the language she consistently uses?

Ehh, to quibble...we can give feedback that amounts to "failing" the shop, but it has to be documented. Our opinions are a part of the shop.

Yeah, that is about as clear as mud on their end, isn't it? They do reimburse for the tip even though it looks like they won't.

Before the sub prices went up and the previous MSC still had this client, I used to be able to get extra meat and extra cheese and still be able leave a tip. I don't really care that much about the extra cheese. I always get the club supreme (turkey, roast beef, bacon, and swiss), it's a delicious sandwich.

To further quibble, for the most part we will most likely never know if a location “passed” or “failed” and I put little thought in assuming. For a shopper to say that they passed or failed a location seems like a power play to me.

I saw some shops a couple days ago that had a bonus so I decided to take one. One of them is still on the board and I wanted to add it on for today as well but noticed that now it does not have a bonus. I reached out and they said that only certain time periods they offer a bonus? Does this make sense? It is the end of the month so I find it odd that it did have a bonus and now they took it away although it is still available.
