Market Force Gas Audit

I've been doing the gas shops for a couple months now and noticed that they just changed some of them to an audit. Has anyone done the new audits? They are revealed and the instructions say to plan up to an hour at the station. So far they are paying the same as the ones that I've previously done which I could complete in 10-20 min max. Biggest bummer is that you can't take anyone with you!

More About Gas Station Mystery Shopping

I have done both the regular mystery shops and the audits. The audits do take longer, and were originally posted at the same fee in my area. After you do a few of the audits they get easier/faster as you can get into a grove. Smaller stations go by quicker too. I don't sign up for the audits when they are the same price as the mystery shop only assignments. An hour worth of work plus the report, which takes a bit longer uploading all the photos, in my opinion should pay more than the twenty minute mystery shop. Be careful when they post. It will say on the far right side in red 'mystery shop plus audit' or something like that. This month, all I saw were the audits. Later some competitor gas stations posted that were mystery shop only at the same fee.

I just did one of the mystery shops... Most disgusting gas station I have ever entered. They used the cooler as their personal fridge with half drank beverages inside... half eaten fruit in the coolers as well... The cashier did not want to give me a receipt... He said he did not know if he could give me one for my purchase... Really strange.

These audits can take quite a bit of time when they are new for you. My first took around 1.5 hours. Now I can usually bang them out in 20-30 minutes. I don't ever accept them at the initial fee. A 30 minute shop with possibly 15 minutes for report should pay more than $9.

Did my first one this week and had a similar experience. If I do more, I'll make my own checklist for the photos. The system took a long time to upload all the photos.

This is just about the photos and getting them into the report. You can upload all your pictures into the report at one time by holding down the control key, clicking on each picture, and then double clicking the last one. They'll all load at one time lickety split. Hopes this helps out anyone who didn't already know.

I ended up doing several of these. My first one took about 45 minutes but after that I got into a groove and got them down to 20-25 min. I was offered a bonus to do a string of them and did 5 one day. I added a fast food shop onto it and made it the most shops I've ever completed in one day!

I agree that it's pretty easy to upload all pics at one time.

Are these worth doing for $20?

In my opinion, yes. If you've ever done a gas station audit before, this should be very easy. They have some specific things to look out for, otherwise you're just poking around and making some observations.

I'm in New Jersey, and this particular company's stations around here generally don't have convenience stores. This makes it even easier, but also more likely that someone is going to follow me around.
