My first reaction was to "just say no." But because we can use coupons and order the small chips, and/or order less than a full entree of one of the menu items, I'm going to do two this month and see how it goes. I've only been getting one or two assigned each month lately, but this month I got three. I'm guessing a lot of shoppers are opting out. I might, too, if the "meal downsizing" I have to do in order to keep the same profit margin means I don't get enough to eat or don't like the menu option(s) I'm left with. When they dropped the fee to $25, I had to give up either the drink or the meat on my salad. Looks like I'll now have to give up the salad and opt for a two-taco order.
The only reason I've kept doing these is because I like the food. The report is still a PITA if there are a lot of issues (and there have been!). If I don't like my new food order (to still make $$ doing the report), I'll be gone.... Between having to stay in-store at least 30 minutes and doing the report, it's still a 1 to 1 1/2 hour job (the latter if there are several issues to address). Not worth it if I clear less than I was at $25! I'd rather eat there on my dime, order what I love, and not have to do the report....
