Re: Rump’s name calling - 4 months ago

The reporter's name is PEGGY Collins, Bloomberg News. You are mistaken.

Re: Exceptional acts of customer service - 1 year ago

90% of the time it’s “no” and “no” though I mostly agree with the sentiment.

Re: A philosophical point. - 1 year ago

I appreciate people wanting to eat “free” but it diminishes returns for patient shoppers -a point that has been made many, many times. Del Taco is already “cheap” and if you want to sample something wait for the coupon mailer. What made me hundreds of dollars per day was a non factor now that people want “free” -again not my business. But you should respect your own worth and make more than minim

Brazilian Steak Chain - 1 year ago

I don’t know what the MSC is - forgot as the client isn’t near me - but you should definitely go to the Brazilian Steak chain when it pops up. Really good food. Salad bar was only $20 and had a ton of high end items with a ton of prep required for their cooks. You can add a protein for $10 but honestly wouldn’t need to. I wish I remembered the MSC because the high end steaks would be fun to order

Re: Does an MSC notify you if you've been detected? - 2 years ago

I’ve definitely been detected - get very “nice” treatment at a chain - due to a discrepancy between the client and the MSC. I was paid and I am certain I was in the right. The MSC chastised me but didn’t release me. The client must’ve reviewed their security footage. So it isn’t great - I am resentful for the quality of my work being questioned, the MSC probably didn’t like the confrontation with

Re: They/them...no he/she - 2 years ago

If two people say things that are opposites (in point of fact) which of them is lying? Is the person who made 3 changes this year lying? Is the person who is consistent all year lying? I also call students by their name - but do you make exceptions for "preferred" names over legal or "dead" names? @prince wrote: What do you mean, who is lying? I haven't run into students asking for

Re: They/them...no he/she - 2 years ago

Student going by awkward “they/them” all year -presents as a “she/her” and now wants “he/him” Science teacher is not a native English speaker. Getting yelled at every day. Who is lying?

Re: Person caught stealing from a store I was doing a mystery shop. How safe are we? - 2 years ago

Re: “bringing politics into it” Politics is everything in the public. People make choices about public policy. Those policies create societal norms. Good norms = good. Bad norms = bad. Ok to criticize policies that = bad. That’s a fair portion of the site.

Re: Share Your Worst Shop Rejection/Nonpayment /No Reimbursement Story - 2 years ago

Got a rejection recently from a hamburger place because I added extra cheese. The instructions didn’t mention this as a problem, and listed specific things that would’ve been a problem. I didn’t fight it, cause it doesn’t matter anyway and they are nice to work with. Same place I agreed to do a shop and went and did it 10 minutes later. I never got confirmation and it was assigned to someone

Lol. Nothing to worry about. "The Science" has declared it was the safest illegal underground hybrid lab in history. Wear a paper mask! @Tonytj wrote: Speaking of labs, there was an illegal underground lab found in California with covid+ mice. The lab is owned by foreigners from China.

Re: where to buy pv-500 - 2 years ago

One of the MSCs that does a lot of those shops with real estate sent me a link and I never followed through because I was making plenty doing non video shops. I'd reach out to the companies and see who they recommend. I don't remember but they were very helpful. It might have been Ellis? I don't remember.

Re: Test Drive Car Accident - 2 years ago

Years ago GM used to do these things where you could test drive all their cars and some rival cars at an event. It was fun. I got to try out the Civic, and some other non-GM cars. But this was also when their Hummer came out. So you get to take the Corvette around a track -pretty lame- with their associate grabbing the stick so they could slow you down. What ever. But the Hummer had a course

Re: Apps like Field Agent - 2 years ago

Someone recommended Crowd Tap -which is not like Field Agent. The surveys are junk and take too long and pay next to nothing. BUT they interview you based off your answers and those Zoom calls can pay $100 an hour!

7-11 Cigarettes and ?? - 2 years ago

$25 AND $30 in product. I have never smoked and have no interest in smoking. But I would do $25 worth of work if I could be done in 20 minutes. Is it possible? What else do you have to do? Has anyone done these?

Re: Chrysler-Oil Changes - 2 years ago

I called one of the two dealerships nearby to see if they would do a Ford. They said no, and hung up before I could ask anything else. Seemed strange considering all the other people here getting all sorts of cars done.

Re: MF no more Make an Offer? - 2 years ago

I am now ignoring the calls and checking the board. They accepted my MAO for $5 more than the posted price. Seemed fair. The phone center people are very resistant to this kind of increase. They really are working against your interest AND the interest of the MSC by doing this stuff. We pass on stuff over and over because of goofy callers. Call with a firm and reasonable offer. Nothing below what

Re: I will never do another Sbarro pizza shop again. - 2 years ago

Sbarros is exceptionally bad pizza. Might as well go to Costco and have a slice for $2 instead of the mall for worse pizza for more cash and a half hour of trouble.

Re: Car wash - 2 years ago

TBH the car wash isn't as good as other washes. The recording dialogue is usually just me describing things I need for the report - TIME - Name - Description - Cleanliness issues - Vacuum function. IDK what they want, but I have never had a problem. I do them for $25 each and have sometimes gotten the cheaper wash and sometimes the fully reimbursed expensive wash. I have never been rejected but t

One of the app type wild goose chases does these but offers very small bounties and the items are almost never there. Smart. They get your effort no matter what. Win win for them. Lose / win? for you.

Re: Raisin Canes shops raising my irritability. - 2 years ago

Too many questions for $9 worth of crummy food. They're almost bottom of the barrel for fried chicken. Clean restrooms though.
