If I do them, and I rarely do, it is when it gets to about $25 + reimbursement. Base pay is not enough for the required pics and commentary.
I prefer the competitor shops if I can snag one - not as many requirements.

I believe in some cases they don't do self-assign because they have a quota and won't assign more than needed. I was able to self-assign one of the medium pan sausage pizza shops, though, while the other shops for sausage, pepperoni, and mushroom required me to apply.
Ah, that makes sense. I think they used to just block out all the dates once they hit quota, so you couldn't eve

Billboard Audits. Loved them. No human interaction; just photos. Easiest shop EVAH!!!
If anyone has a line on who is doing bill board evaluations now...I’d love to know it and won’t pluck your pigeons.
I saw another person mention this, I would love to do billboards, there's a ton in my area. I've never seen them before.

Just as an aside...I was, I’m sure, this location’s worst nightmare one day. Did the shop (a local one), came home and put on my nitrile gloves to do the pictures.
I notice the pizza (medium pepperoni) looks weird but whatever...
I turn over the first slice and all of the pepperoni falls of. The same with the second slice. All of the slices don’t have pepperoni that wa

I had this happen on a different project. I wish they would have given a heads up on it. I initially thought I forgot to submit it, but I always submit it in Sassie when I am in the parking lot of a location, so I KNOW I submitted them previously.
Did you get paid?
They've ignored two emails now that I sent asking about this. I'm certainly not takin

I saw mine bundled. CI is not looking to screw you on payment.
My frustration is that completed shops were changed to new status as if they hadn't been done. Bundle them, fine, but leave the status what it was. And if they need me to do somet
I would also ask ChatGPT to provide a version that is skills based. A lot of AI processing in candidate systems has been tweaked to look at skills vs dates and length of time on a job, because it has resulted in unintentional bias against candidates (aka, ageism).

Probably there are more Pizza Huts across the US than any other pizza places thus higher sales and most popular. Hmmmffff I'm from Chicago where we have THE best pizza!
and most Chicagoans DO NOT eat deep dish. A common misconception.
Where is ShopperBob aka TerminatorBob? He's a huge advocate of "terminating" the relationship with the shopping company if it doesn't meet his standards.
There are several companies I will either no longer work with or only work with for the right price. You are running your own business and will figure out which companies work best for you.
I haven't had any issues with it but I usually don't do jobs that are longer than an hour. I have gone to rural areas with nothing but cornfields, wifi signal is non-existent and it still functioned ok, the jobs just didn't submit until I was in an area with a better signal.
I would take pictures outside the app if you're having issues with it, the schedulers can upload those if necessary.
I recently had a pizza shop returned to me. The app glitched and didn't give me an order confirmation, which in an ideal world, you get a screenshot, attach it to the report and move on. I uploaded a screen shot of the email confirmation and entered it in the comments about the app not displaying the confirmation. The directions state to attach the email if you don't get the app confirmation.

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
I lived and worked in Chicago so I became a bit numb to all the sob stories and scammers. The were always downtown begging for money like it was a full time job. When you see one of them go from begging on the corner into an Audi, well, I guess it is a job that can pay well in some circumstances. I would rather donate to an organization or charity.
That being said - GFM has had a few stories

We had an interesting encounter the other night. Guy locked his keys in his car, after he got gas. Still sitting at the pump. We used a tow company shop to get his car unlocked. He tried to give me money for helping him, but I refused, I told him that the folks I work for will give me $50 for doing this for him. I think I made a friend.. lol
That's really cool of you. Goo
If this happens, I normally try to call during their business hours, but I have done some projects where it never showed up in GSC.
If you've done the assignment before and know what pictures to take, you can take them as regular pics and email them to the scheduler to put them into GSC. It's too bad the app doesn't let you upload photos from your phone.
Everyone I've talked to about mystery shopping over the years has wanted to learn more but never follows through.
I would say something vague that she can look online on the MSPA website bc the companies go through name changes or mergers and acquisitions, so that's the best place to look. Then let her know, she would have to sign up with each company and start looking for jobs. Once people f
When gas goes up this high, I plan all my trips differently - personal or business. I try to do all errands, etc in one direction. If it is not a company I can ask for more, I will either skip it or wait till the fee goes up to account for the add'l gas cost.
