Putting this here instead of the mystery shop forum because the question isn't really about the mystery shop, itself.
Pretty much any gas station has us check for drug paraphrenalia. Up until today, I have seen the odd item in a station very rarely. So today, and not coincidentally at a station in the rough side of town; I saw "all of the above" that we have seen on any gas station's list of items. Every possible item you have ever seen a picture of in guidelines, it was at this station. I took the pictures, the guy who was probably the owner just stood there and had that "yeah, everyone takes those pictures, and I don't ever do anything about it, and I am not going to start now" grin on his face. Clearly, he makes good money off these items and simply doesn't care about the report that he gets from corporate. The rest of the station was a dump, too, and I am actually shocked a brand of this stature has its name on this station.
But really, my question is not what the heck the client is doing still allowing the place to carry its name, how does a gas station like this not get closed down by the police with so much obvious drug paraphrenalia? It just completely baffles me.
