I opened a shop email today that had the subject line of "$60 phone shops for Android users". I opened it and you had to make 6 calls to get the $60 as the shops paid $10 each, LOL.

I have been seeing more and more of this..Ipsos has 22.00 for a big box paint (target) and reading further it's actually two shops, 11:00 apiece....in different stores....the report is a bear. They must think we're like the movie "Dumb and Dumber" to fall for this.

Live consciously....

I personally go straightforward in my emails and just headline my emails that it's an ABC type shop for XYZ. I can see how it frustrates shoppers to hear that it is "free" food, when they do have to travel there, pay attention, and write up a sometimes lengthy report. It's really only "free" if there is a decent base pay on top of the reimbursement, and the shopper was going there anyway. If I have to call you, then you probably weren't going there until I asked lol.

We also appreciate that you’ve suffered through your share of shops, so you feel our pain.
