A lot of this is an over the top reaction by the editor, but since you are just beginning to get rolling with shopping, do know that the MSC's will take it very seriously about not having someone with you if they explicitly say not too. The end client/location can dispute the entire report if they want a solo shopper on that basis alone. Judging by what is posted, I am under the impression that i
Extremely rare to never.
Every now and then you might get a clerk who makes you wait a little to call their boss. As far as flat out rejections, I've had three in 11 years.

All in all, I had a fabulous holiday that has its roots in Paganism. You?
Great! I enjoyed my first day off from this since March 22.

Not everyone celebrates holidays, especially Christian holidays.
Correct. But I don't know who celebrates and who doesn't.
Just like I don't know who's celebrating the first day of Ramadan, or Diwali, but being mindful of when those holidays are is something I may keep in mind if I'm at an establishment that may be staffed by someone who celebrates them.

@CoolMusic. I am not at my best if I have to work on a holiday because I want to be with my family. Some may be just as happy to work on a holiday as on another day, but many don't get the choice
Pretty much this.
They may also have family that traveled to their location for the day that they want to see. They accept that they work, but they may be getting more text messages t

Are they worth the $12 pay?
As a standalone, no.
As a cluster of eight in a ten mile

I've never had as good of a March as I having this month. I feel like I am picking up a lot of pieces of nicely bonused quarterly shops that just stayed on the boards due to how freezing cold this winter was. I avoided them too, but now I'm not sure my competition ever really went back to look to see if they were still lingering as the weather gets a little better. (40's being "better").

The company can't force employees at the station level to wear name tags.
On a larger scale with gas stations, I've had owners in the past acknowledge to me that the cost of fixing something is not worth whatever the improvement in the score will be, so they accept a certain component is marked off.
I haven't done Five Guys in a while, but when I did, there was a dramatic difference between the Five Guys near my hometown (which are either perfect or had only minor issues), and the Five Guys locations in another market I often shop in about 100 miles away, which were mediocre at best. At one of those locations on one shop, I was answering "no" to questions I could never have imagined I woul
If I was really craving it (which I really don't anymore), or if I was on a route and there was one near the hotel I was staying at, I would, mainly for the meal.
Otherwise.... no.
Probably coming soon. If I recall right the last two periods they were a little slow to add them, as in about a week or two after when you would think they would be added.
On #1, expecting that I would be dead this month in terms of work while having a two week, shop-free Christmas vacation planned (that begins on Monday, btw), I did scoop up a bunch of monthlies at base. Don't usually, but whatever. I think this was a gameplan of others, too, across other areas I may go to (but didn't) also saw their monthly batch go very quickly.
#2 I suspect is one of those

It is because of the fuel receipt. You have to upload it twice when it doesn't doesn't print. You can ignore that message and submit with no problems.

Indeed, just do the shop. The mystery shop portion is only a fraction of the visit. Recognizing you won't all of the sudden take down all of the expired signage, clean the canopy, etc etc. On other types of shops where the transaction with the employee IS the shop, then I will say to limit repeat visits if you think you are recognized. On gas station audits, there's so much more going on with
I buy stuff I would buy anyway. So, spending $1.39 is no big deal. I'd have to spend more than 39 cents for the item elsewhere. I will go for those 69-cent peanuts though, at times.
I wonder what the over/under will be for the amount of shops that will get sent back to me because I didn't report something as excessively dirty, that was say.... 20-40% percent dirty.
Finally got lucky today with having a station that I did the regular shop at, to also have the sticker shop available when there were no stickers on the pumps. About time!

Same with the special project. Use your credit card for a $1 reimbursement.
That's absolutely ridiculous for the special project. Not very intelligent of a reimbursement!
Inspected the wrong gas station in my first couple months of doing it. GPS did say "you have reached your destination", so I didn't think anything of it. The whole thing was weird right from the start when the clerk told me, "already? we just re-opened last week," but I was too new to doing these to think anything of that. Completed the shop, and when I was taking pictures of the receipts, I
Ironically, while I was at a red light today, I looked over at the station right beside me and saw someone must've done this shop there already. But I saw those white dots, and thought, "yeah, they're not gonna accept that". Guess I was wrong! lol
