Re: What do you name your cars? - 15 days ago

My Jeep is Betty, the little commuter car is Veronica. When I got my Jeep, I drove her off the lot and to the place I was to meet up with my other half. I had started to ponder a name and then let it go because, too hard! Then Black Betty by Ramjam came on. So Betty it was.

Re: FORM - Kroger Anyone done these Are they quick and easy - 19 days ago

Hey jp43209! I take McConnelsville Kroger shops every now and then! That is a crazy little store for sure. I did a prepaid card merch job up there on the day a big snowsstorm was predicted and it was a nightmare. Everyone in the entire town was in there all at once it seemed. I could hardly get to the card displays because they are all up near the registers. The displays are also all a mess a

Re: The Implications of a Returned Shop - 19 days ago

I’ve not attempted those shops. The 50 pages guidelines with bad pictures was enough of a deterrent. No wonder editors can’t keep it all straight, let alone us. Are they as difficult to get right as it seems they would be? It kind of sounds like it.

No, I’m not jaded enough yet to have begin keeping report copies. Ive only noticed one platform that gave an option to download. This was on a sassie site.

Re: Gatekeeping MS information from a friend - 20 days ago

I think it takes a certain kind of personality to become a shopper. To start, you can't have too much fear of the unknown, you have to have a sense of adventure, and be a little bit of a risk taker. You kind of have to have a sense of when to just jump in and go for something. That might describe the basic entrepreneur personality come to think of it. Not everyone has that but then add to it havi

Re: 2 questions about Presto - 20 days ago

That app needs help. I think the website does, too. If I open one of the instashops to look at it, often you can't click on the guidelines because it says you have to check in to do the shop, but why would I check in when I haven't even claimed the shop yet, let alone looked at the guidelines? I emailed tech help and of course, their explanation denied what I had just said. Then there is the

Deleted comments - 20 days ago

I got a shop sent back for clarification. She accused me of not explaining some infractions but she had also deleted my comments. She had also deleted my explanations of other infractions that were clearly shown as being non compliant issues in the guidelines with photos and bold red capital font saying they were not infractions. I ran the name annmarie in a search here on the forum and see that

Re: What would you do, C Impact. - 20 days ago

Sounds like the last one I did in March. They had 4 merchandisers, hadn't seen a rep since October, had to built a merchandiser, and then they stiffed me on the merchandiser build. It was a hot mess. The store employees were restocking toys and there was no rhyme or reason to the way they threw the on the shelves. I wrote to the company about the missing pay twice now and haven't heard back. I ho

Re: Gas station shops - some observations 2010 vs 2026 - 30 days ago

Seems like 3 main companies were posted around me for 10 - $12 and sat for a month until bonused decently, yet people were taking them under $20. The red white and blue company is worth 58 billion so why can’t they pay shoppers decently especially since they aren’t paying mileage? Worse is that $2 will purchase nothing in the cstore. Everything is $2.99 and over.

Re: Didn't They Get the Memo? - 4 weeks ago

Are these the 50 page green/white logo gas station guideline with blurry pics and $22 including bonus for mystery/revealed audits? I’ve been doing big red M gas station mystery/revealed and the green/white looks like 5x the work. Or is it my imagination?

Re: Awkward visits - 7 weeks ago

I did a gas station revealed audit out in the boonies and the employee got weird and aggressive like he was worried I’d find his moonshine still or something. He went and got two managers who questioned me and followed me around until they got bored.

Re: Music venue shop - 7 weeks ago

The description made me think it was testing phone audio recording software and hardware since quite a lot of people record live music with phones nowadays. Maybe tech wants to capitalize on that feature for that demographic? However, checking for music industry licensing violations sounds probably more like it. I wonder if there is a database that can be checked to see if a place has paid their

In the gospotcheck app, ypu can hit the circle with the ‘i’ in it on that certain question and it pulls up the digital business card. Very convenient.
