Steri gas shop bonuses?

December 18, 2016

I know my way around most of the other gas shop MSC's but I've never worked for Steri. Seeing as I never take a gas shop at face value, is there a process to getting Steri to add incentives to take whole routes? I never see or hear of them... Continue Reading

Maritz Bundle Gas Station Audits

December 04, 2016

I do a lot of out-of-town gas station audits over a range of sometimes 200 miles one way. Maritz bundles the shops in routes of 2 to 45 or 50 stations. An example of one route was about 30 gas stations in my hometown and the other 15 or 20... Continue Reading

November 26, 2016

MF gas station mystery shop - oopsie!

November 11, 2016

I completely spaced and didn't bring cash with me on a MarketForce gas station (non-reveal) shop. Got to the counter, opened my wallet and said a couple of expletives in my head. Oopsie. I completed the shop with my debit card (which produced an automatic receipt instead of asking for... Continue Reading

Those Maritz Gas Stations

November 07, 2016

Maybe it is a rant, maybe it is not. I did a yellow gas station this month where the attendant asked me why I gave them a disappointing review in the last shop performed. Of course I am not supposed to talk about that topic with anyone at the station.... Continue Reading

gasp They lowered the fee on audits!

October 17, 2016

Skimmers at gas stations

September 26, 2016

I just saw an article about skimmers on two of my regular gas route pumps. I use almost exclusively gas gift cards for my evals so I'm not that concerned but it makes me wonder why the MSCs/clients haven't started training us in skimmer detection and made it part of... Continue Reading

September 09, 2016

Did MF just 2X the work for the same pay re gasoline shops?

September 06, 2016

The first 7 MF jobs I did were $8/$5 for a gas station mystery shop where it's required to buy 2 gallons of gas and 1 item for $1.00+. Now it seems the same job has an additional revealed audit with another form and multiple photos for the same pay. Am... Continue Reading

Maritz gas station shops

August 23, 2016

Has anyone been successful in getting Maritz to add incentives to jobs that don't have incentives for the sake of completing an entire state for one client?
