Okay ... I got two email invites for Green shops today. I've never completed a Green shop before, but I have been doing the others (do we call them the Black and the Blue?) and perhaps that's why I was included. I read through the email as well as the linked info and then I came here to the Forum to look for more info because essentially I've been offered a route (with no Bonus) that is made up of 4 locations that are spread 20-40 miles apart for a total about 170 miles if I did them all in one loop from home. I was running all this through my head, realizing that the gas reimbursement probably just covers the cost of running this route, and the 3-1/2 hours of driving time would probably eat up the $1 snack I'd buy at each store, so the pay is, in fact, the only pay (which is fine - just evaluating in my mind).
The trouble is, I have no idea how involved the job itself is. Is this a 30-minute audit like the ones I'm doing now? Or would I likely be spending an hour or more at each location? If the audits are tricky, it might not be a good idea to do my first Green ones far from home. (How strange that I would even have to since there are dozens of them within a 10-mile radius of my house!)
Anyway, this Green Gas Station thing is a new phenomenom. What I'm reading above is if I want to do them, ever, I'd better jump on the invitation. Then, in the future I'll likely be invited again (but possibly only to the ones I've done before?)
But I still don't have any guidelines so it's hard to say if I'd be interested in completing these 4 for that price or not. I would do them at their distance to "get my foot in the door" - but not if I'm only going to secure these 4 locations in the future. They are all over the place and a mix of daytime and nighttime shops - a real mess of a route, really.
