I know which company you mean, but I swore off their night shops several weeks ago because all of their stations around here use pump attendants and have tiny "stores" so you can't get violation photos except in the bathroom. $5 extra reimbursement doesn't begin to get me interested enough to accept the shop.@89lulalula89 wrote:
I'm surprised no one else has info on these jobs considering this is the same oil company that is widely mystery shopped by the MSC. Maybe my original post was not clear enough. These shops are often offered as mystery shops at a starting rate of $8 with a $5 reimbursement and two required photos along with photos of infractions.

No, I'm in New York State which allows self-serve, but this particular client chooses to employ attendants at many of their stations.@2stepps wrote:

I have scheduled 4 of these nighttime audits for this month. Sunset is 4:46 pm for my first location, so I will not be working late. I have not been notified of a job fee change, so I presume the pay is the same as last year (stopped doing the mystery shops because job fee dropped below my threshold), which is okay. Guidelines look somewhat more organized, and order of shop has been changed so that the unrevealed portion is short and easy. The non-specific increased reimbursement is nice, especially now that I have a hybrid car that struggles to allow 10 gallons in an empty tank. I have always liked these audits and will probably take all I can get. Fortunately, they are all open 24 hours in my home area.

@AZ....or anyone who has done these recently... About how long does it take? I have never done one. How long would it take a rookie?

It seems another big change for those posted now is that you no longer have to shop between 7-9 pm? It merely states it must be dark outside. That makes a big difference this time of year.
