I feel like I basically took a season off already this year after my dad passed away, so I'm ok with going out in the winter, but night driving (which is after 4:30 PM now) sucks as I get older.

Don't the actual guidelines state something about looking over the report form? I haven't done this shop in a long time, since they were doing the 'it's your birthday' scenarios, but I thought i remembered reading something along those lines in the actual guidelines.
They always say that but I am sure you have experienced the issue where the report doesn'
Just curious if anyone also did a search on the top employers with employees that are still eligible for SNAP and when that waste, fraud and abuse will be discussed?
I have had this issue and I haven't been able to figure it out either. If the image gets to 100% upload and doesn't go back to the survey page, if I switch to that page, it logs me out of sassie and deletes what I've already entered. I have given up and just do it from a laptop now!

This sounds kinda like my uncle. He's in his later 60's now. Hasn't worked an "on the books" job for over 20 years. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia back in the 60s or 70s and there was so much stigma with it, he never was able to find a "regular" job.
He was a caretaker to my great grandma, then my grandma, and a few other seniors in the community. Most recently, he was caretaker for an amp

No, I don't think people will turn to mystery shopping due to SNAP because with the shops, you have to put out the money and wait possibly a month to get your money back. Also the usual fast food that is shopped is not the cheapest - 5 guys or Panda are gonna be at least $10-$15. If people are really tight on cash and have to hit up a restaurant I would imagin

In my opinion, the soon to come removal of recipients getting SNAP benefits (SNAP cuts from the BB will cause some folk to add mystery shopping as an augment to their budget.

I did look on Indeed and the merchandising jobs paid the same or less than the ones offered on CI. They are also all listed as employee instead of contractor so they would have to be paying much more for me to net the same amount :-(
Some that employ you will offer add'l benefits though, like health insurance, so if someone is looking for full time work becoming an employee mi
I agree with Deedeez. One store I visited had merchandise in different areas of the store, like a stuffed animal by the register. it actually looked kind of cute in some spots, but I go by the directions I'm given.
This store also likes to load the display themselves and they completely overstuff it, so it made the inventory counting portion a real pain in the butt. They do sell pretty quick at

Yep, absolutely this. It didn't go through congress, no bids put out, just a decision he made and went forward with it. Very different than how other presidents have done remodels or changes, f
The speed and disregard for history are both alarming, especially in light of the shutdown. I dislike that it was major corporations that donated towards this. Its sketchy.
I also find his taste in decor to be gaudy, personal opinion, nothing to do with political opinion.

Although I received a badge and became a shopper for them ages ago, today was the first time I got the nerve to try an assignment .It was local so I figured let's see what everyone is talking about.
I can't say I'm a fan of their whole process with 2 different log ins and 2 different payment choices and a lot of rigamaroll to complete the shop. But I did it. I guess when you're

I don't usually have a hard time falling asleep, it is the staying asleep I struggle with. Menopause has be up at 3 am and after that, no sleep is good sleep. I have resorted to taking a few hits of weed to get me calm again. Seems to be working for now. But I don't smoke in the house and it is starting to get really chilly at night.

One of my biggest pet peeves of being on the contractor end of this industry is the sometimes huge disconnect between what the people at the different companies think happens or might happen when a contractor is out on a job and what actually happens or might happen.
For instance...When I do a job for RQA, I keep EXTREMELY good track of my time. On one job many yea
I have my phone set to go into bedtime mode around 9 or 10 pm (weekday vs weekend). I watch documentaries or shows like Modern Marvels or How Its Made and those help put me to sleep. I usually smoke some indica and occasionally take melatonin.
I did my first 3 stores (no product), then grabbed an additional 2 stores (also no product). I had no issues with the employees at any location so they all went smoothly.
I did 5 stores for the freeze dried item, no product at any store. These were 3 pharmacy/drug stores and 2 gas stations. I took hourly pay for the drive time - my last two locations were in opposite directions.

Legal mileage rate is 70 cents/mile.
Paying less isn't "illegal" - what you are referencing is the IRS approved mileage rate. People can still deduct the portion that isn't reimbursed at the current IRS rate. It's more of a guideline than a law.

Hey new member, can you elaborate how they're going to "fund" illegal aliens?
I grabbed a project with them today. Not anticipating a lot of product since it is a food item at two drug stores and a gas station, but I've been surprised before!
They have also sent me a consumer residence pick up about 4x in the past few days. I would do it for the hourly pay/mileage but the city about an hour away from me and hard to work into my schedule.

Yep, years back, they were with the company that required a manifesto. I haven't seen them in a while.
