Maritz "Premium Shops"

Am I the only one that commits to memory every day how many shops Maritz has listed as shops with incentive in my area? It helps me to know how desperate they are when they come a'knockin. If the number doesn't go down over the span of several days or a week, daddy's about to have a windfall.

It's kind of like a breeze fall! Every few days an area gets to the right price for travel which is great because I have a day or two in between to regroup and add on. Sweet.
Maritz doesn't have enough shops within driving distance for me to even keep a tab open for them.

But when they DO get desperate -- WOWZA!!!

There are a ton of Maritz gas station shops in my area but they go fast at regular fees. There are also a ton of shoppers in my area. As a result, I do not see bonused shops on the board but am able to successfully negotiate for some pretty good fees when they are desperate enough.
I do all I can to be the one they call when desperate.

Thanks to my GF's former work schedule I was able to book a couple of recent local gas station routes that were all evening only, making for some nice bundle action. I will miss those days now that we have a more normal schedule.
Can the gas station shops be done on a Tablet now? Or are photos taken, uploaded to PC, and inserted into the report? I did many gas stations for Maritz over the years; however, I left early this year because of issues attaching photos to their reports or having data disappear from their reports. Not hearing anything about issues now but would be nice to do them with a Tablet and be done with it!

When Maritz calls me, they often offer a smaller incentive than what is on the website. Last week, I was called about 3 gasoline shops that were online with a $4.50 incentive for each. Having no shops at all for that day, I said I would do them for a $5.00 incentive each, thinking that such a small request would be quickly approved and I could run out and do them immediately. Nope! I was told that a supervisor had to approve it and the scheduler would get back with me. Today...4 days later...I got a call-back and was told they had a counter-offer of $3.00 incentive. The website still lists the shops with a $4.50 incentive. Don't Maritz employees have access to their own website?
No, they don't. It's stupid. I seem to have better luck if I submit an incentive request online. The incentives online also vary by shopper by some algorithm. My wife has an account as well, and we always get different incentives. I do most of the jobs and seem to get higher incentives most of the time, but sometimes she will get a sizable incentive on a shop that I'm offered only the base rate.
