Why No Purchase Reimbursement for Gas Station Food Audits for Alta 360?

February 24, 2018 12:34AM
I noticed that you MUST make a purchase for the food audits at gas stations but they do not reimburse you for it. Why is that?

I don’t know why they don’t. But the jobs are super easy, just make sure you have all the pics before leaving. Also if it is a bigger station with multiple islands get a 2nd pump pic to verify the different advertisements. I did about 7 in one day. Last one had to be reshopped because the pic did not come out. HTH

If shoppers take the assignments without reimbursement, there is your answer.

Because they are cheap and stingy and low-paying sharks.

You must consider $4 - $7 per station good pay To each their own.

I've never done a shop for them in that price range.

Thanks for clarifying where the needle marked people are from.

As a plasma donor due to my grandfather's lack of blood clotting antibodies, I take offense to your statement. On top of that, for 8 hours a month, I get paid anywhere from $3-400 monthly. Stereotyping is a tough way to live.

If what you are doing us out of graciousness then you do not need to be paid for it so your indignancy falls on deaf ears. 99.7 percent of plasma donors are extremely impoverished and the lifestyle is reflected in behavior. Research papers are extremely easy to find with the advent if "The Web". Look it up.

"The Web" does not give the entire picture. Google doesn't make one a genius. IJS

I was drunk when I replied to that post. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has feathers and a beak, it's probably a duck.

What were you drinking? I'm having wine in a box.

Alcohol definitely doesn't make geniuses.

You could not be wrong in your assessment. Did you stop to think that nobody is defending the people with research papers who donates to supplement income? I use the money to pay for museum memberships, zoo trips and school expenses for my three children. On top of that, the value of plasma is very high which is why all of the donor centers pay. I have yet to find a non-paying donor facility to do so "out of the graciousness of my heart". Keep drinking though, you're keeping me entertained.

Actually, there are, of course, plasma donations that are not paid. The "centers" you go to use a misnomer when they call their place "donation center". Just like the "Goodwill", you do not see the irony in that? Hospitals and the bloid bank are the only true donation centers. You are being paid for a product, you are not donating. Let's be honest.

I see my honest post has been reported and then moderated. Yet the disgusting posts about meats remain.

Why was your comment about the "needle marked people" reported? I liked that post better than the vegan post.

Not me! I find it all entertaining! If I don't, I just move on to read another subject. Carry on, kids.

But.. what I don't find entertaining is driving past one of Alta's gas stations wayyy out in the boonies and thinking, "I could have done that, if only they would pay a reasonable amount. Bummer." I have made offers that were way lower than I could get with other companies and they were kindly rejected.

What do you consider a reasonable amount?

$13 is absolutely minimum with 2 gal gas and a dollar thingy for a basic and unrevealed review with a mid and overall pic. $7 ? wth? For all of that plus pics on anything off? Seriously, I don't even want those emails coming into my life! Only because they may have something reasonable someday have I not removed myself from their shopper database.

I have never seen an Alta360 gas station shop with a gas purchase requirement.

You probably weren't asking me. Maybe I've even been blocked. They aren't the only ones. Bare wants us to go buy a $200 product, along with the warranty, return it and cancel the warranty and report the interaction for $12. Why would I do that when I can do a fast food, drive through for $16 that takes 7 minutes max onsite and a basic report with NO narrative? And, we probably cannot do another at the same location for a year? Who would do this, these? Life is too short to be so cheapened by multi-billion dollar companies!
