Re: Jiffy Lube Audit - Yesterday

I had to talk to 2 people before doing the audits.

Re: Sometimes problems with GoSpotCheck - Yesterday

I have not done any of the 8-10 hour clothing jobs, but have done the shorter ones. No folding on those. GSC was hanging up a little on the initial opening of the jobs today. Submitted fine. I am on Android.

Re: Sometimes problems with GoSpotCheck - 2 days ago

I did about 10 jobs the last couple days. Other than the 'normal' errors mentioned, no issues. I don't remember update notices, I just assumed it was automatic. I am on version 6.117.0 (819). What do you have?

Hey John, No offense, but what is your skin in the game here? I am just a naturally skeptical person.

The B or C team is likely working Sunday, and many of them have no clue about the inspection and are reluctant to give permission to do anything outside of the limited scope they were prepared for.

If you are talking about the MSC that starts with a C, mine got received within 2 days of submitting. I was paid according to their posted schedule.

Re: Sometimes problems with GoSpotCheck - 8 days ago

Ironically I just did a job for GBW using their app. First time on it. Missing pictures that I remember taking. Of course my POS Pixel does the date and time in "not the time I took the pictures". I am not seeing them so it appears their app eats the pictures like GSC. I hate using an app for the first time, especially on a drawn out job like the one I just did. The answer will be that "We

Re: Sometimes problems with GoSpotCheck - 8 days ago

They are more than happy to talk with you. Years ago we had a long drawn out conversation about where the pictures are stored on my phone. They insisted they were there, but it turns out they are not stored locally. It took me talking to a few different people, all real nice, to get the correct answer, Pictures stored locally is one thing I would prefer.

Re: Issues with mystery shopping - 11 days ago

I can't complain if they pay slow, but pay when they say they pay (though it is always tempting). I am waiting for one that advertises 30-40 days after acceptance. We are on day 35.

Re: Gas Station Inspection Pushback - 11 days ago

I did over a thousand Marathons and it happened maybe twice. These were people that I wondered if they could read/comprehend the LOA due to a language barrier. Many times the clerk would call and I was cool with that.

Re: Jiffy Lube Audit - 12 days ago

Well. finally doing one this week. Lots of hoops and only a few around me, but maybe they will have other stuff. Two phone training sessions about 30 minutes each. Had to buy some 'certified' non slip shoes (which might be useful) I got some better ones. They reimburse for those. I see these taking about an hour, maybe longer for the first one. If less than 2 customers then you have to stay fo

Re: scheduler contact at CI - 12 days ago

Never really had an issue with this company. If I need more, I apply with a "be happy to do it for XXX:" in the comments. Either they assign it or not. Very rarely have they made a counter offer.

Re: FORM - Kroger Anyone done these Are they quick and easy - 12 days ago

Did 4 yesterday. Times came in at 26,24,22,21. So I guess I have to call it a 20 minute job for now. The first stop, even of stuff I have done before, always goes the slowest for me. Every store I did was laid out differently and the largest one (4th stop) went the fastest. Still viable as a drive by and I feel I know the shots they want, without reading the blurb under the question. I w

Re: Sometimes problems with GoSpotCheck - 12 days ago

I do a lot with GSC and have never lost my data. I do get the no internet and something went wrong often. As long as I can enter the job it always saves. I have found that putting a phone in a jacket pocket can make all kinds of interesting stuff happen. I tend to make sure the app is not on top (active on the screen) if I do so.

I like CI. We are both on the same page, except for one thing. They want the jobs done correctly for as little money as possible. I want the jobs done correctly for as much money as possible. We both agree, the jobs getting done correctly is important. We can usually find a happy medium where I am happy and I assume they are happy, cause they don't bug me after I turn in the jobs. Al

The one I did was 47 pics, I think. I took all the required ones, none extra. I am doing four this weekend. I think I should be under 20 minutes for sure and I hope closer to 15. For this weekend I have, 3 medium size stores and one larger one. I have worked in all these stores, but never really had to learn the layout. Now that I did one, I know to just skip around and do it in the most ef

Re: A Closer Look - 15 days ago

That is why I quit doing essay jobs. I did some apartment jobs for someone years ago. They paid well, but asked the same damn question multiple times in a slightly different way. It got old to me real quick. When I was spending an hour on the job and 2 or 3 entering and writing stories, a 60-70 fee got real small, real fast.
