Not a big fan of ACL. They take too long to pay, and issue pages of guidelines. I made a slight error the other day, and explained why..now the whole shop is in jeopardy. I told them I needed to be paid, or I would not do any others. Any other industry you would be paid whether it was error free or not! There are wage and hour laws people.

If your report doesn't meet the client's requirements, they can (and will) reject it. If they reject it, you don't get paid.
Perfectly legal. Not only legal, but ethical.

There is nothing ETHICAL about starting a business and recruiting GULLIBLE people to work for you for free just because they are stupid enough to do it. It might be legal for ACL to take advantage of those people but there is no way it is ethical.

Any shopper who takes a shop has given enough thought to the relationship that he has provided his SS# and other personal information. And, knowing the requirements and the reimbursement/pay in advance, I would say the shopper is informed and has made a deliberate choice. I would not class mystery shoppers with ACL as either gullible or recruited.

Or they can just pay me $5 now. Why do I have to do another shop?

I had a shop rejected because the location was closed. I called beforehand as the shop instructions specified and confirmed their hours of operation. The store closed early because they were slow. ACL refused to pay me a shop fee.

Prices are higher in different areas of the country. For example there is one location inside a convention center in Chicago, sodas in Chicago typically cost about $4-$6. That same drink just 35 minutes away where I live is about half that cost. I haven't done this shop but could easily see how a flat reimbursement could be great in one area of the county but not cover everything in another.

ACL is particularly understanding and will bend over backwards to work with the shopper and get a shop approved.

They don't pay for restaurant shops.
