I’m finding a lot of the do-overs newly posted today. Just did a station where I only had to remove two white stickers smiling smiley

I received an email today which stated a sticker removal I submitted on 7/15 had been rejected as I left the white circles on the pumps. However, the email also stated I should ignore the rejection as I submitted my shop before the guidelines had been changed regarding the white circles, and it was only being sent out so the system would post the shop again to have the white circles removed.

I did two shops today. One had no stickers at all, the other was a six-pump station with grey circles on four of them. Picked up four other shops which are certainly do-overs. Will get around to them tomorrow.

Also, the guidelines have changed slightly in terms of what cleaners are suggested for use, as well as what types of cleaners to avoid. Among those suggested are Simple Green, Dawn Ultra Platinum Dishwashing Liquid, Turtle Wax, and WD-40. Thought it interesting that rubbing alcohol isn't listed as an item to avoid or a suggested cleaner.

I got the same one, and did a do over yesterday which had 42 pumps!! None of which had any circles but some had some sticker residue so I at least cleaned that up! ALways a bummer tho, to do a site shop and then the sticker shop shows up days later at that location.

Finally got lucky today with having a station that I did the regular shop at, to also have the sticker shop available when there were no stickers on the pumps. About time!

Since I'm not seeing as many of these shops, I'm wondering if the program is ending/has ended. Or, is there another wave?
I say this because some of the shops for the "Site Experience" that I did I noted that still have their stickers on the pumps.
Could it be that there only needs to be a certain percentage done and not 100 per cent?

I can still find some out in my boonies, and some major metros, now up to $25.

I don't get the (il)logic behind the pay offering.

I recently made up to $200 + reimbursement for Site Experiences, taking me a max of 30 minutes, but they wanted me to do physical labor at the same location for longer than that for $18 (at the time)?

No way, Josefina...

Too bad, so sad! What was that address again?

J/K. You can't do a re-do?

I've had a few site experiences sent back to me with a message to fix an error like a missing picture or a picture which didn't show enough of the photographed object or area. Shane they couldn't have done that with your shop.

I did a site experience the other day. While fueling, I decided to peel back the stickers to see how hard they would be. As I was test scraping one, the clerk came out and flat out busted me, asking what I was doing. To avoid looking stupid, I told her I was there to remove the stickers for Exxon. I had decided I did not want to do the sticker removal, but I ended doing it anyway, lol.
