Hi, I'm not the person you asked, but thought I'd offer my opinion. I just started doing the shops you mentioned for TCI a few months ago. They used to pay $15 for that shop. It recently went down to $12, and it seems to be staying at that rate, unfortunately. The shop itself is actually pretty easy - you go and look at the bikes, check for specific issues (it's a short list), take pictures, and leave. Boom, done. The one area for a narrative just asks for a general impression and I don't think I've ever written more than about five sentences, just summarizing the issues I saw and the neatness of the department. So, as shops go, it's pretty easy. Plus TCI pays fairly quickly, so there's that. I do wish it still paid $15, though. I don't like having to drive anywhere for less than that, but I live very close to that retailer and try to schedule other shops or errands to do on the day I go, so I'm not just leaving the house for only $12. Hope this is helpful.
