I know, I know. This is an odd heading for a post.
Here's the deal: I have done more than 300 assignments for Market Force. This is the first time I had two MFI shops fall apart. At the first shop, the register wasn't working so I could not get a receipt. I had the cashier write it all out on a piece of paper (no business cards.) I did GeoVerify and snapped a picture of the "cash only" sign. I emailed the help desk offering the additional verification documents. Yay! My report was accepted and I got full pay without having to email photos.
The next day, I did a kiosk wireless shop that was full of traps. I even went back out to the parking lot to go to the website to double-check the address etc. because I couldn't believe I could even shop the place (this was a kiosk inside a store with no staff and no phone number.) I couldn't take a picture because the scenario was that I wasn't supposed to own a cellphone of the targeted type. Again, I had to get someone to write out all the store info as there was no business card to be had. I got home and found a "we cancelled this shop" notice that came in after I had done it. I wrote the help desk with a full explanation, filled the report and again received full pay.
Moral: Document, document, document and get ahead of the problem by notifying the help desk immediately. That's what worked for me. I hope this helps others who may face a similar situation. Happy holidays and Mele Kalikimaka!
