I grew up in a small town about 35 minutes from where I currently live. They have a farm store that has dog grooming mystery shops and to make the most of my time I like to meet my mom there and get lunch or pedicures. I finally got around to opening up the second to none website and I see that they have a cable/tv shop there right next to the farm store that pays decent and looks really straight forward. Finally, two shops I can do in this small town.
I've done this shop and it was straight forward but I noticed now they have a requirement that you must take a photograph inside the store. This location is so small, I have no idea how I would take a photo without being made as a shopper. Apparently other shoppers haven't figured it out either because the fee keeps going up with no takers.
If you have a friend with you, take a picture of them (but have the friend on the edge of the picture). Take the picture at the highest resolution on your phone. Then crop your picture to take your friend out leaving the picture you need.
Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

what's wrong with just taking a photo. it's none of their biz why. timidity is not an attribute in this biz. it's like being embarrassed by doing the pro scenario assignments for the home improvement stores and leaving a basket full of light bulbs (100 of them) at the check stand without buying them. jeez... strap it up, bucky.
The picture is easy. I act like I'm sending a text and can't read the screen because of the lighting. These shops pay very well in my rural area.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

Or do a selfie. But I have been chased out of stores because I took a picture of something.

I'm wondering if all cable offices are like the one near me. The associates are behind a chest high counter with bullet proof glass separating them from the customers. There is also an armed police guard telling you what associate to go to. The area for customers is a 12x12 square with associates on both sides. Four total stations. To take a picture of the required item, my phone would need to be eye level with the associate as the item is on the wall behind the associate. This is the only cable office I've been to. Are they all like this?
^^ No. The one by me has an intake associate who does triage near the front door and assigns you a number. Then there are seating areas with TV where you wait to be called. (What you described is more like the Subway shop at a gas station. The bullet proof glass was complete with lots of dings. I told the scheduler I'd never do that one again!)

It doesn't pay enough for me to be inconsiderate to the store employees in that manner and take the time to fill the cart with those lightbulbs. It's not about embarrassment, it's about money. The MSC should pony up more jack. Like $50 for that shop instead of $15 would make me more inclined to do it (and that doesn't mean I will drive 25 miles or more to do it, either).
hmmmm... living in the ghetto/'hood with bulletproof glass at a tv/cable store or living where i do with the wacky, dysfunctional, misogynistic, cultish mormons?
verrrry troubling conundrum?
at least i could prolly get a martini on sundays or a costco that sells wine/alcohol at the ghetto/'hood locations?
but, here in utah, we have ?????
i'll see myself out now.

I'll hang out in the hood anyday rather than hang out with cultish morons, errr, excuse me, Mormons. One of my sisters and her husband are Mormons. We don't talk.

Yes, you can get whatever you want here. The drive-thru daiquiri stands don't have bullet proof glass.

There are soooooo many flavors, I'm sure you could find one you like. I don't recommend the blue raspberry. It tastes like a Sharpie smells.
A historic farmer's market near downtown St. Louis has a walk up window to get cocktails while shopping. I avoid the pre-made strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas. Some of our grocery stores have adopted the concept which I wholeheartedly support

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

We are quite civilized. I'm trying to recall even one place where we cannot get drinks. I'm sure being the world headquarters for Anheuser-Busch for 150 plus years had nothing to do with it, LOL.

I'm not getting the mormon connection to St. Louis history. But then again, I still don't get why they built a temple here about ten years ago. Over the course of my life I have known maybe four and one of them wasn't sure.

sorry, i misread your comment about "being not able to remember..."
Oh, you thought it was tough to get drinks here? Hell no. Even places like the zoo have sold beer forever and added wine more recently. We have whole festivals devoted to beer or wine.
