I messed up 2 shops this week,

I am kicking myself because I did not one, but two Five Guys shops that were supposed to be online orders and I did the dine-in. Neither one can be rescheduled. On a brighter note, one of the managers gave me a $20 Gift Card for being such a good customer. Have I been outed?

One of those days. Shake it off and get back in the saddle.

Yes, Five Guys has an uncanny ability to out you as a shopper. Local managers have access to specific times from the reports and can easily relate this to finding you on video footage.

Friendly reminder to double check on your shops. I also make sure to put the scenario (dine-in, online order, etc) when I add something to my calendar. You think they could still use the information you gathered and give partial credit, but unfortunately that's not usually the case.

Ms Girly, are you blonde?

I normally do and copy my spouse on the calendar invite. Just missed it this time.

No, but I have some gray poking out. )

I don't want to be outed as I enjoy the free food, but I have noticed some of them start cleaning the dining room when I sit down.

There are lots of shops out there with multiple scenarios but this is the only one I have done that such critical information is no longer available to you once it's been assigned. It seems like they could and should make a change so you can check the shop type easily just before you begin.

It can be easy to overlook, at times. Before heading out for a shop, I've gotten into to a habit of taking a glance.

Sometimes, there will be updated time periods or other subtle updates. I'm glad I do, because I think to myself, oh that's why that shop later became available. The other shopper might have missed that requirement! Or not.

I just flubbed up an FG shop in the exact same way this past weekend.

Ah well, good to be a real customer sometimes to throw off suspicion. That's how I'm rationalizing this one at least!
