I had no standard shops available on the IPSOS Sassie platform Job Board. There are times where it disappears the day after the last date for a group of shops. However, there are gas station audits showing on Prestromap, but not the Job Board. I assigned one from the Prestomap. The due date is the 20th. I've never seen this occurrence before.
An editor for the MSC that has the BP shops is insisting that I have uploaded an image of one pump from 7-22-25 and needs to be replaced. I did not see that image, but uploaded the new images of that pump and the others and resubmitted. She is insisting I still have the old photo. When I look at the image on the report, it is the new one. I replied with an email showing a screenshot of what I am
Both Anthem and Humana allow for the purchase of groceries. Anthem had $50/month. Humana had $125/month accumulative for either groceries and OTC stuff. Anthem had $150/ quarter for OTC.
Generally, you are looking at 60 photos. They can be revealed audits, if you are approached by a Kroger employee. You'll have to study where the photos are to be taken, and plan accordingly. For example, you have photo requirements for meats/seafoods and Center Store. If you cannot get your photos in meats, you can take photos of center store across from the meat/seafood department.
I've had editors ask for corrections that are not needed, that they were not correct. My first response is to ask in a question form. Like, "Reading instructions for question #?, CRIND are not needed for narrow dispensers. Were these not narrow dispensers? Usually I'll get, "I'm sorry, I missed that." or something to that effect. Or sometimes something I missed or misinterpreted.
All went well with me in the Indianapolis area. Surprisingly, I signed up for more than 8 competitor shops, which used to be a limit. Also surprisingly, there are more shops staying longer today on the board. I did not receive the heads up email from the scheduler so I wonder if that had a big effect.
They scan at Costco entrances but do not check the self-checkouts since scanning began. You an walk through the exit and then make your way through the registers to the pharmacy or where ever your shop is at.
Part of the willingness to assist is whether or not they ask a question. So there is at least one circumstance where you initiate conversation. This one is easy. Where is the garlic?, do you have liver? or Do you carry Boars Head products?
The key is whether or not you are fully in the field of vision of the Produce Associate. I have interpreted that to mean it does not count if they are stocking and focused on that. I arrange to cross fully their field of vision at some point. So I very rarely get less than eye contact.
I do not understand why these TY products would need merchandisers or route sales reps. Order, stock and sell. Displays are easy to set up. The hardest part is organizing the stuffies on the display. That can be easily taught.
I service 3 locations. This month they received stock. I was surprised how well the TY product sold in grocery stores. It did take a couple of months to get stock into the stores when asked for contact with the store. Sorry to see it go.
I was made at a Kroger store that I frequently shopped. So I self-excluded for 6 months, but would shop there regularly. It was when you had to ask questions of service areas. I shopped each one during my non-MS visits. They tended to forget about it.
I received an email from the Senior Project Manager on 11-13 that informed of blackout dates from 11-24 through 11-28. Week 4 (weekly) visits if not able to do on 11-22/23 would not be penalized. I completed all of my visits by the 22nd, including two weeklys.

I just got a 1 on a shop that was excluded. The fault was mine as the screen I took an image of did not show rewards prompts and I had answered yes. When I returned the correction, I did not change the answer nor add a picture that matched the answer. I accept that. But a 1?
Twice they stopped due to a bounce back. I could not log into my account without corrections. Then they stopped coming. I'll contact support. Thanks for all the feedback.
They're used to be 3 different MSC's that had these. One paid $10-$15 fee and reimbursement. The 5G one's business model is to start low and then go up as shops are not picked up. The last MSC had a fee plus reimbursement which made it nice to do this shops.
I suspect that there are more people doing gig work to make ends meet. I go by that Kroger shops in my area go quickly, faster than 4 months ago. I suspect companies are pairing down expenses or looking for cheaper alternatives. It will be like this for the next 5-10 years.
In the US, we have economic cycles, roughly 50 years. 1920/30-1970/80 was the automobile. From there until now was the mi
