Re: What are you having for dinner? AGAIN! - Today

Made, that sounds delicious! We did grocery shopping this afternoon, I got a marked down baked chicken, and I ate almost half of it. but precious little else.. I had some of my son's homemade bread with apricot jam on it with my nighttime meds, and Essiac tea.

Re: "Note" for comments on the initial order? - Today

What viv said, but you don't need to put anything in that space. It's ok to leave it blank.

Re: 1099 Ipsos - Today

I received my 1099 from STN yesterday. Still no Ipsos. But I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, yet.

Re: Well, this is new (scheduler comment) - Yesterday

She tried to engage me on Faciebutts the other day. Wanted me to go to PMs and talk to her, and I refused. I told her that she can say whatever she needs to say to me in public or not at all.

Re: TEXAS ROADHOUSE: Why are these begging to be filled? - Yesterday

I understand the noise issue.. it's ALWAYS too loud in TXRH, and they don't play the old country and western music. It's the new formulated crap with whiny women and toxically masculine men. But the food is usually good. And you really can't make a bad sirloin steak, unless it's overcooked. I'm older now, and far more sensitive to noise than I once was. The ringing in my ears from 30 years

Re: Companies vs. Platforms Help - Yesterday

I swear Gigspot must spend big $$$ on priority status on search engines. Gigspot is ripping you off and blocking your access to the full list of jobs on the companies that use the Shopmetrics platform. Write down the names of the companies that you're doing Gigspot shops for, get out of Gigspot, and sign up for the companies directly. Then you'll have access to ALL of the available shops, and

Re: Oil changes - Yesterday

yea, my car is making dinging noises at me too.. I'm about to just go to Rural King and get a bottle of oil, I have a spare filter, and just do it myself.

Re: 7Brew / Who Brew coffee shops heads up - Yesterday

viv, I know. I've seen the new guidelines. But MSCs change things in guidelines without changing the questionaire quite often. So I thought it was best to stand back and wait until I need something to do desperately.

Re: Insta shop missed deadline - Yesterday

yea. Can't be done anymore, there is a 24 hour "cool down" period between when the shop times out and when you can pick it back up again.

Re: 7Brew / Who Brew coffee shops heads up - 2 days ago

7Brew, the coffee kiosk drivethru places that litter TN. There are 3 or 4 in the places that we normally go to in TN to do other shops. I read the guidelines and it said clearly in the guidelines that one of the descriptors was ethinicity. I didn't save the guidelines on this computer, mostly because I won't describe people by guessing why their skin is a different color, or who they slee

Re: Any Big Game Plans? - 2 days ago

I'll probably turn it on, if I'm home. I need to go to GA to get some auction items I bought. I'm not super interested, I don't like rap music, so even though I wouldn't turn if off simply because of Bad Bunny, I will turn down the volume so I don't have to listen, because it's rap. And I'm not completely over the 49ers being eliminated.

Re: Hesitant to take shop. - 2 days ago

I use MS Word, and set it for college level grammar for writing essays. It has served me well, I've tried many different word processing programs, and grammar correcting apps. MS Word still works better. I don't make a lot of mistakes, but I like to use commas more than I need to.

Re: Bullying issue with scheduler - 2 days ago

I think viv and Bob are right. There is most likely a LOT more to the story, and the OP is probably using their daughter's name to do the shops to get around being blocked. I think the MSC fingered that one out just fine and did the right thing. I think I may know who "A" is and I have had a lot of contact with her recently. She's not a bad editor, but she has asked me to take sho

Re: TEXAS ROADHOUSE: Why are these begging to be filled? - 2 days ago

I haven't seen a TXRH with a fee or a bonus in about 8 years. They are snapped up long before they get bonused.

Re: 7Brew / Who Brew coffee shops heads up - 2 days ago

lol Bare, they are insta-shops. I won't do them because they want you to describe the folks that work there by their ethnicities.

Re: New Presto App - 2 days ago

I looked in the Google play store and it's showing that my Presto app is the only one available and it's fully up to date. And there isn't a different version of the app available.

Re: What are you having for dinner? AGAIN! - 3 days ago

I sent my son to the cheapo meato store (Fresh Value), They had a 3lb pack of smoked sausage for $3, what could go wrong.. lol. He also got the meat that I wanted that was on sale, but I haven't been allowed to eat any of that. Tonight he made a sausage sandwich with that sausage, it's actually the second time, but I guess he cooked it better last time? or there was more stuff in the roll t

Re: Kroger - 3 days ago

you're having a tantrum because you didn't get pick up shops and gas shops? Seriously? I get being disappointed. But they said one year, and we had pick up, gas station, and inside shops in February last year. I guess if I get serious and want to argue I can look at my records, but I believe they didn't cut out the pick up and gas shops until April. And I believe someone said that they m

Re: Panda - 3 days ago

I'll do them when they pop up again.. it's no big deal. In the meantime, I'll continue my hunt for real, good, Chinese food in rural Alabama.

Re: Kroger - 3 days ago

ok, I'll bite, Tell us how Kroger strung you along. As independent contractor mystery shoppers we shouldn't be getting any instructions or offers directly from Kroger, we should only get guidelines/instructions from the MSC. And I've done these same grocery shops at Kroger working for nearly 14 years. With one company for almost 10 years and the current company for 3 or 4 years. The instruct

Re: $10 Kroger Shops with overstaffing - 3 days ago

Those grocery store photo shops are not the "Kroger shops" we talk about every round when they are released. I'm willing to bet money that they are similar to the pricing audits that went around through all of the MSCs this past couple of years. Which means that they are absolutely not contracted by Kroger. But I'll look at the MSC and see if it's the same thing only with pictures when I find

Re: Anyone Doing Gym Shops? - 4 days ago

I've seen some recently, for Crunch Fitness, but even if I was allowed to by the forum, I couldn't tell you where, my memory isn't that good. And "recently" could mean any time in the last year or so.. Sorry I can't be more help.

Re: What are you having for dinner? AGAIN! - 4 days ago

We got great weather here today, it was over 50° After almost a week of never making it out of the 30's it was great!. We went out and collected pizzas, one from Hunt Bros, and one from Pizza hut, my son did a couple gas stations and I did a lighting audit. So I'm eating cold pizza and drinking gingerale.

Re: 1099 Ipsos - 4 days ago

They always have. I haven't received mine yet either. I guess we'll see what happens.
by Morledzep - Mystery Shopping Company Discussion

Re: Panda - 4 days ago

no Shar, they used to be posted every 28 days. I don't keep track, Panda shops just aren't that important to me. If they are not still with the same MSC, and with an MSC that uses the Sassie platform, you may find them on the Presto app. If they are on blue, red, pink or purple pins, they will be insta-shops. If they are on orange pins they will be hosted on the MSC's website, so then you'll

Re: Kroger - 6 days ago

Emails are not the guidelines.. in the email it says that if they're not wearing a name tag that is on them. And it says nowhere in the instructions or in the copy of the questionnaire that you have to ask for a name. go ahead do it, ask everybody for their names. You'll be excluded from doing Kroger shops inside of a month or two. Would that make you happier? Stop making things more di

Re: BARE 1099 NEC form - 6 days ago

Last year I had a few 1099s that I had to download from the MSC websites. They've been doing that for a few years. Trendsource has been doing it for several years. This year seems different. I've never seen these 3rd party sites used to retrieve our 1099s. And I'm still not convinced that it isn't some kind of scam.

Re: Kroger - 6 days ago

imdastyle, READ the instructions.. everything you need to know is there, and there is a copy of the questionaire so you can see how you want or need to answer the questions.

Re: Jackson Hewitt Wal Mart Evals - 7 days ago

Sometimes you need a name in the app, sometimes you don't. I haven't done my audit yet, not sure if it's even still assigned to me at this point.

Re: Kroger - 7 days ago

Dee, I don't think they pay that much attention to folks arriving. And I've used the restroom much later in my shop to find it a terrible mess.
