I actually like the reports now that they are shorter. I do wish we could do away with the phone call portion, and that we didn't have to stay there an entire 30 minutes. I feel the pay is fair, and I like the food, so I'll continue to shop for them.

Birdy,
Sorry to hear of your issues of late with this MSC. I would suggest perhaps a 3-6 month cooling off period of not accepting shops rather than an outright quitting of the MSC. It is generally better to leave your options open as you never know what the future holds for either the restaurant or MSC.
Whatever you decide, best wishes for you going forward!

I get that the OCD editor in you can't stand sloppiness like misspelled words when an MSC holds us to such high standards. Did you email anyone (like Corey or Tracey) to tell them how you feel?

It seems that Ardent puts on a "green" and responsible facade- but are just as heartless and cut throat as ever. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT - I THOUGHT THEY WERE A BETTER COMPANY.

Sandy, how is the Asian shop? I've wondered. Have you also eaten at the burger joint? I like it but don't find it one of my favorite places to shop. And, yes, I agree, when we received the notice that fewer shops would be scheduled for the burrito client, I figured fewer staff would be necessary. What that generally means is that either lower-performers or those with less senority will be cut from the staff. So I am not surprised to hear that some Ardent staff have been let go.
Hi Austin, I guess what I said was misleading...They do have the Asian shops out here in California but I am not shopping those shops...I cannot mention the actual name of the restaurant but it has the word Shop in the title so that was why I said the Asian shop. not a shop shop. I have not seen any of the Burger places and don't even know what they are called. There seem to be a never ending number of new Burger joints so maybe one of the local ones is theirs and I just had no idea. As for table visits, I have been shopping Ardent for several years now and have probably had only one or two times there was a table visit. Usually it was someone wanting to take my tray away if I was finished. So the level of service in that regard has not changed for me and they do still seem to be coming and clearing tables and sweeping etc.

darewright, it was just proper usage of grammar. Would you say, car went fast or the car went fast?

I'm not happy with them reducing the payment, particularly because things are always more expensive in NYC and I already had a pretty slim profit margin. But for their burrito joint and burger joint I really, really don't appreciate some of the KQs they make me do. I'm happy to observe and ask innocuous questions but for the past few months they've been making me consistently lie about having allergies. For the burger joint they also tell me exactly what I have to order, which I don't appreciate, and I don't think I've ever had any other fast food restaurant do that to me.

I feel like a ditz because after 2 1/2 years of doing the reports fully, I finally get some different feedback concerning the report comments along with the usual great job on the report feedback. I was informed that I did not need to fill out EVERY comment regarding the food. The editor instructed me to provide a comment/explanation only if I had marked it with a "No" answer for the comment. There was no need to provide a comment on the "Yes" comments on the food.
