Re: New shops, and irrelevant questions - 6 months ago

Before this thread is no longer open for new replies, I changed my mind I gotta say, on these forums, what's the point of some these threads, replies, and opinions?! I admit to being Captain Obvious, but sheesh, it's been hard to read some stuff, at times. Myself included! I'll stop complaining now

Re: New Phone shops paying $10 - cannot believe that they expect all of this for $10 - 6 months ago

TL;DR - Don't do phone shops! J/K!

Re: Reality Based Shops Sold? - 6 months ago

I think this was discussed more than once in the past. RLM handles the scheduling and editing for RBG. I'm guessing it's Robin's initials. Edited to add: ... This MSC was not sold.

Re: Super frustrating K grocery store drops - 6 months ago

In my area, all of the shops are available to be taken if you really want them. However, on a flip note, by the end of the day, they're still gone.

Re: Buffalo Wild Wings - 6 months ago

It's been a very long time since I've been to Buffalo Wild Wings. Except for last year, when I tried one of the bar integrity audits. But at some of those all-you-can-eat hibachi-type places, I've seen bodybuilder types really chow down. Regarding chicken wings though, Gary Vaynerchuk is one public figure I've seen that really eats the whole wing, even down to the cartilage!

Re: Five Guys--No peanuts??? - 6 months ago

The ones I have visited in my area all carry them. There are usually two boxes. One is located near the front of the line or entrance. The other is located near the pick-up area. I take some with me to use as packing material. Occasionally, I will snack on them and then use the shells for the garden.

Re: Buffalo Wild Wings - 6 months ago

This makes me want to watch Hot Ones on YouTube! I remember some guests eating cauliflower wings due to dietary restrictions. I think some guests were surprised that the wings were from Buffalo Wild Wings, with the crew members just hand-tossing the sauce after.

Re: MSC Gift Card BJ Brewhouse $0 Balance - 6 months ago

whosear, if you want, I can send you an unused gift card. I did some shops, but at least here, I was disappointed with the food every time.

Re: worse bank shop I have done - 6 months ago

@johnb974 wrote: Interesting about this shop, there were no text boxes for comments. Only upload the business card, post a picture of the bank and click on boxes. I think that's most shoppers' dream. But regarding the wait, that's the way the ball bounces sometimes. When available, I've always preferred business accounts or investment-type shops.

Re: IHOP shops - 6 months ago

I never understood why IHOP named their reward currency pancoins. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue. All of the locations near me seem to still be alive and kicking though.

I may have bushy eyebrows. But not on the level of Bert from Sesame Street, Red from Angry Birds, and Anthony Davis! I can do that thing The Rock / Dwayne Johnson does, The People's Eyebrow!

I need to get my mind out of the garbage disposal. This reminded me. I forgot to submit my expense report from last month, but it still allowed me to submit.

Re: Is Red Robin shopped? - 6 months ago

I don't think I've ever seen it shopped. I've never seen or visited one, but it apparently exists on the other side of town of where I'm located.

Re: Ipsos Shopmetric portal change? - 6 months ago

I'm hoping the smartphone shops aren't all going to be moved over to the Shopmetrics platform. After logging in, saw some over there.

Re: Lids Application - 6 months ago

From my experience, this is one of the more friendly and responvie MSC. We can guess, but better off contacting the MSC who can give you a definitive answer?

Re: Not saying I'm doing it but.... not telling the whole truth? {rant} - 6 months ago

I think I'm a naturally detail-oriented person. When I was younger, I would go into great detail and note everything. However, as time has gone by, I only go to the trouble of noting material/significant events/items on an evaluation. In general, for deliverables, I try to think of it from the perspective of the recipient now, and tailor it accordingly. I had a shop that was largely focused ar

Re: Hilton Bar Shops - 6 months ago

I did a convenient Hyatt one. The drinks ended up being $40, where I tipped the remainder of the $60 reimbursement. It got approved. I think the two other locations in my area will get a large bonus.

Re: Five Guys Delivery - 6 months ago

I don't think there's a cap/specifications on the tip. I've been greedy, though. Lately, I've been ordering more and tipping less!

Re: Phone shop paying $5 which is not worth doing - 6 months ago

I haven't done many phone shops. Last month, there was a round of phone shops for certain credit cards. It was actually not bad, and I learned more about my credit cards during the call. I think the shop for one card went from $60 to $100 to $125.

Re: Samsung Smart Phone Shop New Requirement - 6 months ago

I saw that requirement too. I have a phone from both brands. So far, no issues for me. I think the new project manager has been doing some weird things with at least one shop that's only available in certain cities. It's usually double the rate. Fee got slashed in half when it was re-posted. Then, went for five times the lower rate, presented as a low fee and large bonus. It's been sporadic an

Re: Curious about restaurant experiences - 6 months ago

I think I've only had two dining shops that were truly bad, where it required further clarification and detail. One was a shop for a grand opening. It was a mess, where some items weren't delivered. However, the manager resolved the issue. On future shops, everything went smoothly. The other time, I think was the only time where the service was truly inept. I'm not very critical and underst

Re: I messed up 2 shops this week, - 6 months ago

It can be easy to overlook, at times. Before heading out for a shop, I've gotten into to a habit of taking a glance. Sometimes, there will be updated time periods or other subtle updates. I'm glad I do, because I think to myself, oh that's why that shop later became available. The other shopper might have missed that requirement! Or not.
