IPSOS Is Not Paying For Diesel Checks

In reviewing my shops that I've performed for IPSOS, I am now finding that shops that require to also check diesel pumps are no longer paying the additional $1.00. These are the shops that ask you to see if there is a separate diesel canopy and require a photo of the canopy. They also ask about the number of diesel pumps beneath the canopy and the pump toppers as well as the koalas.
I've done a few of these this year and so far the new debrief/report/whatever its referred as only requires the one canopy photo, nothing more, unless there is an infraction.
In the past, I was always paid an extra $1.00 for the additional work. Much like the additional $1.00 for the Synergy Element counts, apparently the additional work is not being paid.
Not a big problem, but, in my view, it seems to be a small whittling away of Shopper pay for additional work required.

Did you pick up the shops with incentives? Did you submit a route? PM if you wish

None of the above!
These are the same shops that I have done for quite a few years, over and over. Meaning, of course, I am asked if I want to do this shop per shop guidelines (every other month).
Of course, I have always said "Yes".
These shops are on my own route that I have designed. Formerly, some were shops with diesel canopies and paid the additional $1.00 for the checks. No bonuses, just shops that I count on doing every (other )month.

Ipsos has changed their bonus and incentives on the gas station shops. The yellow shops no longer pay a bonus for night time. They also are not paying the bonus for checking the oil for sale inside the store like they have been doing in December. Still getting a few shops with nice bonuses that are close to deadline but not like the routes I had been doing before.

And I agree with your red and blue shops that don't pay the extra for diesel evaluation. Thankfully, where I live there aren't a lot of diesel only under canopy stations here.

Remember when the diesel assesment first started out as a completely separate project with it's own fee? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
