On the other side, I have had reports marked "approved" on the status page seconds after submitting. As for others, I have waited days to get approved. As a longtime MFI shopper, the only reason I check the Assignment/Receipt status is to be sure everything is there. When MFI gets around to editing it is their issue. I sure do understand why a new shopper would want to be sure everything was right. Feedback, even a rejection, helps the learning curve.
BTW, the only type of shop I have ever received questions about, and that was after the shop was approved, was for the breakfast place. When I noted a bathroom cleanliness issue there was no narrative on the questionnaire to explain why "dirty floor" was noted. (This exact scenario has occurred multiple times.) Now, I take a photo and send it back in response to the inevitable editor question about bathroom cleanliness. I find that by taking pictures of such things it also jogs my memory when writing the shops that do require narrative.
