cool new $5 shops

don't know which MSC, it's on Presto, it doesn't say in the posting which company. Just says the client wants to know if their signage is where it's supposed to be. Probably not going to jump for $5, unless I'm actually in one of the stores for another reason.

i might have seen your shop. It's in the big retailer based out of minnesota that has a red bullseye.

There should be one full display that includes brochures. This shop will require 6 photos of different aspects of this display. (see Guidelines for details & examples)

6 pictures for $5?

but i also saw the same $5 thing for a shipping company that likes the color brown. so it appears whoever the client is, they have signs in quite a variety of places. Still not worth my effort even if I was already there. $10 and i might be willing to consider if i'm already there
I see one for the bulls eye and I have another for a motel. Not sure how weird you will look in front of a motel taking pictures of the door sign? I can’t say it’s worth five big ones……
I've done these before. They are quick and simple. I walk in, look for the sign, take a pic, and I'm out. If I can't find it, I will ask for the manager.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
I picked up some in an area where I'm already scheduled to do gas stations. If we get scattered storms tomorrow, I can do these while it's storming. Otherwise, I'll do 'em on the way home.

Nice! I have a round of wee-hour, (are they open?) shops next week. I hope these are still available for double dipping!
I've done seven shops today. One red bullseye, three acronym shipping stores, and three numbered convenience stores. They're very easy. Have five more lined up for today including two of the Grand Slam restaurants.

One of my shops was approved a few minutes ago.

These take about 3 minutes, except for Target and Walmart as there are 6 photos for those locations. So those are like 5 minutes.
The heading for this thread is an oxymoron.
I did one acronym shipping store which required checking the digital display board inside the store. The ad runs on a loop along with all kinds of other promotional stuff (mostly store brand), and it took a few minutes of waiting to get a pic, then a few more minutes of waiting to scan the code when it came up again. So if you're doing an acronym shipping store outside of their open hours, make sure that location doesn't require checking the display. I did one last night after they closed, not realizing that possibility before going there, and luckily there was no prompt for checking the display inside.

Has anyone seen the window promo at a gas station / convenience store? I've done at least six of such shops and have yet to see one.

Please don't feed the MSF trolls!

Feeding the MSF trolls bread or other human food is detrimental to their health and the environment. It can lead to malnutrition, disease, and behavioral problems in trolls, as well as water pollution and the spread of pests. Trolls are capable of finding their own food sources and don't require human assistance.
Honestly AZ, I was joking.. there is nothing enticing or cool about $5 shops, I don't have 20 stops in a day to make enough to get home in these old legs anymore.
Whew! I was hoping you were either joking or trying to see if someone would actually provide a rationalization to do the shop.
any hint what company had these? I haven't seen them.

Presto / Ipsos.

It's entirely possible all of the shops in your area are gone. They went quickly in my area. I did about 15 of them.

The ones in my area went in 6 hours. I noticed it right before I fell asleep at about 1am, and when I woke up at 7am and tried to figure out if I could do a couple that morning on a route to visit my friends at noon, they were all gone. At least 15 of them.

It was a bunch of companies for which the company providing the sticker was arranging for a discount. So it was a mix of fuel, hospitality, retail, restaurants.
