Re: New B-Dubs Shops - 2 days ago

I recommend the non-menu sauce called VAMPIRE SLAYER. it's a mix of garlic parmesan and spicy garlic. It's really good. I do like Mango Habanero as well, but I'm a little addicted to the Vampire Slayer.

Re: New B-Dubs Shops - 2 days ago

@jp43209 The place I went had "ziosk" as well. I still ask for paper receipt and say I need it for my receipt apps like Coinout. I think your reasoning is solid and should not be questioned "I just mentioned that it was such a good value since I wanted both wings and a burger" Plus you can get the cookie skillet dessert for $4.99 if you want to go over by $2-$3. I am not doing the sh

Re: Pizza Hut - 2 days ago

i just drove by the closest Pizza Hut to my house. I see sign is down and people were tearing the place apart. I think my area is snobbish about their pizza. There is one chain (dominos). In 2016, there are 83,000 people in this area and no representation by papa johns or pizza hut and one lonely Dominos. I think i did the shop 1 or 2 times at the PH since living here for a couple years.

Re: (C)Rack Room Shoes - 5 days ago

Guess I never saw them before. Maybe a different MSC? I don't remember seeing these with the with goofy website alternative they are not posted with.

(C)Rack Room Shoes - 5 days ago

I see this is now a shop on the goofy alternative website for the supreme court justice. I can't say I am interested enough to login and look with a $10 reimbursement/$8 pay. I have done other shoe/clothing shops where I can at least buy something at $50 without coming out of pocket. I will admit, I did a Nike shop that had a $10 reimbursement, but the shop pay was $30, so I bought a gift

Re: Back at it? - 5 days ago

@morocco77 That environment question is still feelings (imo). This credit union makes me think of a credit union. They did not like that answer when I said that.

Re: Martin Sweeney RBG - 6 days ago

My company just sent out email saying anyone using VDI with personal devices needs to be on windows 11. I have been on 11 since January 2025, so it doesn't affect me. I don't use the company laptop. No need to have 2 computers running with 4 monitors instead of one with 2 monitors and just flipping back and forth via Citrix.

Re: Five Guys shop pricing - 6 days ago

There are some late night shops sitting on the board for $13 several days now heading into Monday June 1st. They have Mon-Wed to get this cycle completed. We will see what they do now.

Re: Heads up Blaze is back! - 8 days ago

I remember doing Blaze with the narrative intense prior MSC and all the hoops with extra names and descriptions. I am venturing to guess that this shop with this MSC is much easier. It must be a particular FRANCHISEE as not all locations are listed/shopped.

Re: Back at it? - 9 days ago

@morocco77 I'm not a super fan of that CU shop. Too many "feelings" questions. Plus I do not like pretending to be interested in opening an acct or asking about a loan. It is not a difficult shop, but I prefer sticking to the facts. I love how they ask what business this feels like to you. It feels like the damn CU I am in. I am a male and not into my "feelings" as much as some others ar

Re: Five Guys shop pricing - 10 days ago

I have completed several in the past few weeks for $20 each. I would happy with more, but $20 and a covered meal is better that most fast casual shops out there. Some of the combo pricing recently has made it possible to stay within reimbursement. I agree that possibly you have a shopper(s) in your area depressing the bonuses you see. Just because it made it to Mon-Wed (after the weekend) d

Re: Back at it? - 10 days ago

You not working at the airport any longer? I was wondering who was doing those CU shops. I only do a few every so often.

Re: Pizza Hut - 12 days ago

The pizza hut shops are still on the board. I have not seen them switch companies. Go to Presto and you can see this one is getting $10 bonus. Shop is not a presto shop, but it's a Sassie shop. Phoenix AZ, 85042

Re: Texas Roadhouse - where they know you by name - 17 days ago

Because not all locations are corporate, you get different results for line dancing between locations. I cannot remember the last time the subject of gift cards ever came up. I see some of the employees have shirts mentioning gift cards on the back of the shirt.

Re: Bubba's 33 - 19 days ago

Since I only go for the burger deal on monday's, i have not ordered entrees that came with 2 sides. btw, the AZ locations are $1.99 for side salad upgrade. I still do it. healthier option it's also a place I will go on my own dime (at least for the burger deal). I won't pay full price for their other food. Not worth it to me.
by hbbigdaddy - Mystery Shopping Discussion

Re: Bubba's 33 - 19 days ago

I do not remember a salad question on the bubba's report. It's the same ownership group TXRH/Bubbas, so maybe the project manager just copied many of the same "guidelines" over. With TXRH, their entrees come with 2 sides. Bubba's 33 I believe only come with 1. I really only go on Monday's as it's the burger special day for $10.99. So you get fries or tots as standard side. You can upgra

MCD on presto? - 20 days ago

Am I just getting old, but I click on the guidelines and see quite a few things are needed for only $10 pay and some crappy MCD food? I do not do many presto shops to begin with. I like using Presto to see all of the SASSIE shops (centralized) in a particular area (especially when traveling to a city I'm not familiar with). Maybe the MCD shops are not that hard, but I saw something about sev

Re: Five Guys - no more combo meals? - 20 days ago

I have seen 2 places with $13.99 for the little combo. I will visit another place this week and see if they have it too.

Re: Texas Roadhouse - where they know you by name - 20 days ago

Why not say, "Why are you calling me X, that is not my name?" Then see how they respond or what they say.

Re: Firehouse subs shop - 21 days ago

I went to a Firehouse Subs on my own dime Saturday. I used the Tmobile weekly offer with the BOGO this week. Spent $11 and got 2 sandwiches. Didn't have to write a report. Doubt I would go back to this location. Smudges and fingerprints on glass door. Letter grade of "B" on the wall from health dept. There are a few better Firehouse in my area. This one was just convenient and I didn'

Re: Five Guys - fading away? - 25 days ago

$13.99 LITTLE burger combo seen at a location on 5/11/2026. little burger, little fries, reg soda. It's not that terrible. I think a Double Double combo is up to $11-$12 now.

Re: New B-Dubs Shops - 26 days ago

What are people seeing as the average "edit" time with BWW now at the new place? I have one from nearly a week ago that has not been edited. Obviously the 5g msc did not take this long to edit the shops. I'm curious to what people are seeing and what the expectation is for these.
by hbbigdaddy - Mystery Shopping Discussion

Re: Five Guys - fading away? - 26 days ago

@BarefootBliss Yes, if you are talking strictly $ vs $, In N Out is the better deal. But if you look at the patty size and compare, to get the same amount of burger at In N Out that you get with 5g, it's not that much more. You also get more fries and BETTER fries at 5g. I love In N Out and will go there on my own dime. I love 5g, but I am not willing to spend my own money there. But

Re: Pizza Hut - 29 days ago

@Morledzep You can pick the shrooms off after the pictures. It's not that big of a deal. I don't like mushrooms either, but I did this round.

Re: Martin Sweeney RBG - 29 days ago

Why didn't you print to PDF? If you had an email, you can print to PDF from yahoo and gmail. Maybe not from a phone, but from a laptop/desktop. Maybe even from a tablet?

Re: Pizza Hut - 30 days ago

@metro25782 Glad you like them so much. I would rather do a 5g meal with more pay and less play (pictures) and order what I want. Pizza Hut is not great. It will feed you, but PH, PJ, Dominos are all versions of BK/MCD/JITB/Wendy's for pizzas. Nothing great, but serves a purpose.
by hbbigdaddy - Mystery Shopping Discussion

Re: Pizza Hut - 30 days ago

@BarefootBliss Its several pictures including flipping the half the pizza upside down. It's not hard, but you have to like what they tell you to order (no modifications). I have done a few, but it's not something I get excited about or look forward to.

Re: New B-Dubs Shops - 4 weeks ago

@myst4au thanks, but you didn't address my question. I was asking if there was anything in the guidelines about not using rewards for the "to go" online order. @Deedeezthoughts seemed to use it without an issue. I was just curious if they specified.

Re: New B-Dubs Shops - 4 weeks ago

Anyone do the BWW GO (takeout) shop scenario? It's not close to me, but it appears to be a takeout only location that I am passing on the way to something else. There is a bonus so I grabbed it. I know with the outoftouch company you can't use rewards while dining in, but can you use them for online order with pickup? I guess I can read the guidelines, but I am assuming they do not put much

Re: Buffalo Wild Wings Shop - 3 different MSCs - Can you use the same shop for all 3 or 2 different MSCs? - 4 weeks ago

I guess if you were that hungry, you could do the bar first and then meet someone in the dining room later. You would need 2 receipts and 2 observations. The dining room isn't going to work for the bar audit and the bar audit isn't going to work for the dining room. But sure, if you want that much food or want to be there that long, I do not see why you couldn't do both on the same visit. I
