Market Force gas station audit

April 30, 2019 06:35PM
Has anyone done these? I am getting e-mails with premium pay and some seem pretty good. The only thing is I can't see what all it entails so I don't know if it is really that good. If someone who has done them can tell me how long it takes and anything else you can tell me to help me understand what has to be done.

Is it the revealed or unrevealed audit? I do the unrevealed audits and they are a piece of cake. However, the revealed had 36 pages of guidelines and I cancelled the shop when I saw that. Looks like way too much work for the lower pay.

Revealed. I love unrevealed. Thanks for information. Not worth it.

As revealed goes, it seems easier than the others. You don't need every pump.

I find the revealed more difficult than other reveals I do. In my area, the stations were not as well maintained: and there were a lot of issues to document.

If it's $20 or more including reimbursement, it's worth it. Once you've done a few, I find they take 20 minutes or less. It looks like a lot more work than it actually is.

I did MANY of these before parting company. Just because it states that there is a premium pay, it does not mean it is valid. One company, guess who, sent me out on mystery shops to kiosks at gas stations where I was REQUIRED to make a store purchase and a gasoline purchase for the shop to be valid. The problem was that the only thing available for sale in the kiosk was cigarettes and cigarillos. And, tobacco, alcohol, and lottery tickets were forbidden purchases by the client. A good idea is to google the address. If it shows up as a national chain grocery store, you will probably get stiffed.

I only do the mystery shops for the gas stations. The full audit is too hard and has too many requirements. It gives me a headache. They have always been accepted but I still stopped doing the full audits.

Have done shops for every branded station within 70 miles. Once you get the basics, they are all pretty much identical. With the exception of 1 company who's questionnaire is 96 questions compared to 40. I can finish one in 20 minutes or less. I have a 3 day route on one company involving 12 stations with the best MSC on the planet.
