You're welcome.
I think maybe they just started bonusing them here. When I first joined that site, I never saw the pizza shops get bonused. It's just been in the past month that I've noticed it.

The only one I have done of the pizza was early last year when the bonus got large enough to bother with the photo nonsense. The bonus has never risen to that level again because they always get claimed at the original fee and if you sign up as a backup I gather you are committed to that fee as well. Their shops of all ilk in my area show as sign up only as a backup within a day or so of the time they post, so I rarely work with them.
In my area, there's a new MSP pizza player in town. $5 and $17, photos required. 3rd MSP to vie in as many months.
Yes, I got notice from an MSP tonight for the mangled pizzas near me. Big surprise is that the photo is $5.

Here as well. I just found the same pizza shops at another MSP with only one photo of the pizza. No cutting required. This MSP pays a whooping $3 fee. Think I'll pass...
I just found the latest MSP to carry the slice-n-dice pizza shops too (although minus the slice). So that makes 3 MSPs to carry those pizza shops in my area.
I received an e-mail tonight about the pizza shop you've all been talking about, informing me that it was up to $31. I haven't done that yet, but I won't be able to as there as it has to be delivery only and I do not live close enough to one! I decided to do the training and there is only like 87 pages to it... :O Needless to say I decided not to bother finishing the test, mostly because it was so insanely long.

We lived out in the boonies once and were out of anyone's delivery range. It was 20 miles to the nearest pizza place. Their driver would meet us halfway. I haven't read the shop guidelines to know if this could be an option, or if delivery has to be to a physical address.
I don't live in the delivery area either, but what I do is have them deliver to a store in their delivery area and meet them at the front door.

lizka, for that amount to be $31 makes me think it is CoRI you are talking about. Check the details, you can do carryout with CoRI now since it's the last half of the month.

Yes, 87 pages seems a bit long, but all you really need to concentrate on is how to take pictures properly. You can flip through the rest pretty quickly. This shop is one of the easiest shops. The form is extremely easy as well. I am not sure why I am recruiting more people to pick from my "money tree" (as it has been refered to in another thread), but I just can't help but share how quick and easy this shop really is. At $31, I'd grab it without thinking twice about it.

It really is simple, especially for $31. Not including reporting time (which is a pretty short report), I now get them done in around 5 minutes after I get the pizza.
Still none other than the first, one and only not gonna cut it here...though I do seem them in other states for about 7 mscs now...

I did some at the end when prices went up to around $15 for auto shops and a few simple others when the price went up! I find that now individuals must really need the money, as most are gone at the $5 level. You said it, with the tests and now pictures of all the shops it's definitely not worth it!

The pizza and gas station shops are the only ones that require pictures.
I refuse to do those pizza shops. I have never done one without some silly feedback. Special cutters, labels, etc., etc., etc. The company does not pay enough to even bother.
the tests are mostly easy... you can copy and paste the exam in word and then go over the presentation and then just fill it in as you go... the pizza shops i have done 5 so far and the last two were voided... i dont really understand why... the last one said the photos were blurry and they werent... sad... i will have to get free pizza another way...

Not from what I read! They want pictures of all of the outsides of locations!
This would make a whole lot more sense if they accepted an photo of the outside of the location in lieu of a receipt. Both a photo of the location to prove you were at the right place AND a receipt to prove you were at the right place is, IMHO, overkill. Pick one, folks. Next thing they will turn every shop into a reveal so you can get a signature and STILL require a photo of the front and a receipt smiling smiley

You may want to reread. I just accepted 4 shops of theirs a few minutes ago. None required pictures. I did 3 shops for them over the weekend, none required pictures.
Well up to today I have had a fairly good experience with them. I have done routes for them which increases the pay but the last few months they keep delaying puttting in the shops and putting them in for the wrong date and then getting upset when I won't do the jobs on the days they put them in for because they are at different parts of the state. This month I complained and was pretty much told that if I didn't stop complaining they would refuse to give me a route. I have done almost 2000 jobs for them in 2 years so I said go to hell. They are not worth it.
My, one more happy worker smiling smiley Do you get the sense that they don't know the meaning of 'loyalty'? Loyalty and respect go hand in hand and nothing in their fee structure would indicate respect.

I have had a negative opinion of CORI for years. I'm glad I have found a place where we can talk freely, unlike Volition, where a person is limited to positive post and that at the whim of Ray. I had a CiCi shop rejected by them when I didn't elaborate on a "yes" question. The scheduler told me she didn't have time to let me fix it. ie "Yes, all crew memebers were wearing hats" instead, offered to have me repeat it. I told her where she could put her pizza and her attitude.
Oops, we still have to honor our ICAs. Can you change the client name to 'pizza' or 'pizza buffet'? There is an 'edit' option in blue letters at the lower right hand corner of your post.
Cori has a new client in my area, a video store, that was/is shopped by a different MSP in other parts of the country. Their video shops weren't in my area. As I understand, Cori's fee is lower, reimbursement similar. Money talks? Or just different MSPs with the same client in different areas.
The fee is $1.00...and $6.00 for the movie and the candy, then you have to go back to return the movie (on your own time).

Ouch, a $1.00 fee.

I have to comment though. You mention having to go back to return the movie. Do you not have to go back to return the movie from any video rental store??

Yes, but there is always Netflix! :-)

A clarification email said, with apologies for the confusion, that the fee is actually $2, plus reimbursement of $6. You have to return the rental to the original store. I trained, and looked at the report, and it's very simple.
We just got two bonuses. One blue light is 7.19, the other is 7.58. Nope!
