As I've been submitting my reports for the flying horse gas station shops, I'm finding photo requests in the reports that are not outlined (as far as I can find) in the latest guidelines for 2017. Maybe some other shopper has found them?
For instance, the shop asks if you remembered to ask the attendant to turn on the outside lights. Yes, I did. Were they working, it asks. No, I answer, the employee said they were on a timer or did not know how. In the photo request, it asks for a photo. Wait a minute! I didn't see a mandatory photo for this.
How about the overall shot? Where does it say what is and is not required? It just says, "properly captured, shows canopy, store, lot, etc". It does not say canopy lights, perimeter lights, MID, just an ambiguous "etc".
As for the lighting itself, are we now expected to show that the lighting was on? If so, where in the guidelines is that request/photo?
I could go on, there are other areas of ambiguity.
What I am saying is, excluding commonsense, it leaves much open for interpretation and editor disputes.
