I don't mind shopping indoor locations during cold weather, but tonight I had a parking lot that had to be done in the evening, and I sure was cold killing time before I could return to pick up my car. I'll be rethinking how many of these shops I do until it gets warmer.
The only issue with my solo dining room shop is that, although I was seated at a booth, things were so slow the bartender was serving all the tables in that section. (There was not a single bar patron at this time.) The check had the dreaded "PM Bar" on it. Happily the bartender was wearing a name tag (never an issue at TXRH). The narrative I made repeated references to where I was seated (ie. "T
Is it confirmed that the "new" MSC is requiring entree, drink and side? I doubt there are too many locations where $15 would cover all those items, not to mention I usually leave around a 10% tip when I do them for the old MSC. And you would have to get a sandwich, not the small platter with rice.

While Coyle requires pre-tax tip calculations, at least one MSC (TJN) clearly states in their guidelines that the tip should be calculated post-tax, and even stingy ACL covers post-tax tipping (albeit sometimes below 20 percent).
When dining with friends or family members I can't ever remember anyone calculating the tip pre-tax (or tipping 15%, for that matter).
I do agree that there is n
There have been a few IHOP shops where the required order was an enormous amount of food for one person. I just laugh when I order and say "I guess I'll be taking home leftovers!"
I had a shop set up and the guest won't be able to make it. As far as I can tell there is nothing in the guidelines that prevents a solo dining room visit (and personally I'd rather dine solo than eat at the bar anyway). Has anyone done this?
Interesting to see this pop up on the Jersey Mike's reimbursement only MSC. Only one of four nearby locations for this round. $80 reimbursement, which is maybe possible if you stick to sodas and probably not doable if you get alcohol. Two entrees, one app or dessert, two drinks. Someone else grabbed a location with no free parking which is fine by me. I remember when they were shopped a while ago
I just encountered this problem again and I followed your advice. Sure enough closing all the other tabs on my phone meant I could upload the photos. Many thanks @87Supra!

The prices you mentioned are promotional prices -- you might have to order in the app to get them. As @CoolMusic mentioned they often have promos. There's an easy to find code that often yields a free shake with a $10 purchase if you order between 2 and 5 pm.
I had no idea they still did the shoe shop. One of the best shops around as far as reimbursement for effort goes. It looks like they had a very distant location of that chain this month but not the one near me.
Phew! I was waiting for someone to shame you for leaving a 12% tip lol. Sounds like a great deal.

FYI- There is a note at the top of the guidelines stating that SNAP/EBT cannot be used for payment. The shop will be invaild.
Not only has that always been the policy for the same MSC's Five Guys shops, but they make the phone rep state it verbally whenever a scheduler calls and assigns one.
All of these new Sonic shops near me got taken at no fee. To each their own. I

I have been having this issue, and it has been happening to me since the most recent update that I had for my Samsung device. I'm also having occasional issues uploading photos on shop metrics. In that case, it doesn't upload the photo and it logs me out of my report.
And I'm on an iPhone, so it doesn't seem like this has anything to do with the operating system.

For the past six months or so I've had an ongoing issue uploading photos in Sassie from my phone. It starts to upload and then says the photo is 100% uploaded, but then instead of going back to the survey nothing happens. This will happen across multiple MSC Sassie sites and then a few hours later resolve itself, but it happens pretty often. This has been discussed here before but I can't figure
Someone above claims they looked at people's receipts and saw an $11,000 balance.
I can't speak to what someone else saw, but some context: The average monthly benefits are $190. I think we all know exactly how far that goes these days.
I don't generally post this reminder in General Chat because of the "anything goes" nature of the conversation, but if someone is not making a positive contribution you can always click on their user name and then click "toggle user visibility" which blocks their posts from showing up.
Although many of the other shops this MSC does get posted towards the end of the month, I've never figured out the pattern for BJs. They seem to just pop up from time to time. Usually it's a bar shop or a dining room shop but not both.
Two comments:
1. Many restaurants and other small businesses are responding to the cutoff with fundraisers. One local restaurant group which I shop just about every month is donation a portion of gift card sales to a local food recovery program. I plan on picking one up.
2. It was heartening to see that the some of the plaintiffs in one of the court cases ordering the benefits to be restore
I managed to score two this month -- yay! But I've noticed at least in my area they're no longer serving their delicious chocolate chip cookies which were baked fresh in the store. Now it's a wrapped cookie from an outside provider. They still have the baklava, cheesecake, etc
Newsome is going to get a massive boost out of Prop 50 which will pass overwhelmingly. That being said, the Democratic nominee is going to be the one that Southern Black women vote for in the primary, as has been the case for the past few cycles, regardless of whatever other conspiracy theories may claim when pointing to the eventual nominee.
It is interesting to think that Newsome, Whitmer,
Sometimes there is a large sticker on the glass which blocks some of the slicer or prep area view. I just take the best photo I can and then mention the sticker in the "problem disclosure" section of the report. I haven't had any issues with those shops being approved.
For years I was signed up but did no shops because none of them seemed worthwhile. This year they've picked up a number of really great clients in my area. One has the highest reimbursement I've ever seen for the particular industry, one has a good fee, and two others are just solid locally owned businesses which I enjoy shopping. And there are still also lots of shops which I would never want to
When I read that sentence I thought you were saying I was brave for staying at an Extended Stay America! Haha!
