As far as the lengthy report, I printed and laminated mine and use an erasable marker.

I don't get Trendsourse. I applied for an open shop and heard nothing. I logged in on their board a couple days later to delete the shop application request and found I was assigned the shop as a backup. What? A backup. I was not notified by email that I did not get the original shop and was assigned to be a backup. If I had not logged in to cancel I never would have known. Then I wanted to cancel the backup but guess what? There is no button to cancel the shop. Once again, I don't understand Trendsource or their lack of communication. AND, no, if their original flakes, I will not be doing the backup shop. I did not ask to be a backup and already have other shops assigned. What nerve.

I'd rather do a round of grocery shops than one $40 narrative heavy one. If I don't have better paying shops I don't mind doing the grocery shops from time to time. I do get burned out on them after awhile though.

I have never taken one of their grocery shops. It seems like too many observations for the fee offered. Many of these do sit on the job board. Do you know if they give PAD often for them? Does it seem like too much work for the money? For another MSC, I can do 3 back-to-back shops at another store (different departments). Half the observations, twice the money. But I have considered trying one of these.

I have a galaxy note 4 that I use for these shops. Have a PDF program that I use a stylus on to write down all of the counts and names and descriptions of the associates. Have all the scenario questions ready to go as well. I don't bother answering all the questions as I can remember what happened when it is time to fill out the report. The first shop I did was very stressful since it was one of the locations that have a lot more than just grocery and I didn't know at the time that it was ok if you didn't locate 3 employees in the grocery area and just report on what you see after being in the store for 30 minutes. I have done about 10 of these now and feel pretty comfortable and used to it by now. For about an hours total worth of work for locations that are either close to where I live or on the way home for work is worth it to me. Just don't know what to do with all this lunch meat!

Ha Ha!! I've been there with the deli meat!! But hubby likes it!!
^^THIS^^. I've gone to asking for PAD even for the one that's 5 minutes from me. I figure that if most of their shoppers are asking for PAD, they'll eventually figure out that they're not paying enough.@HonnyBrown wrote:
Kristie, always ask for PAD! You may not get it, but always ask.
