Club Citgo

August 15, 2025 07:24PM
For those of us who have enjoyed a pretty good starting pay and a gallon or so of gas for a relatively simple shop: looks like we're SOL. I saw them today with a different (smart) MSC for $7 and one (count 'em - ONE!) dollar of gas.

Looks like I'm headed for early retirement.

Don't leave!

I'll leave you with this:
"Retirement isn’t the end of the road; it’s the beginning of the best journey yet! Wishing you endless happiness, new experiences, and plenty of time to do what makes your heart happy."

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.

Same with the special project. Use your credit card for a $1 reimbursement.

Wow. I didn't see any of those in my area. I wonder if the original MSC has lost that brand completey. They've had it for at least 20 years that I know of.

I sure hope not. I'm not sure how much more they expect to squeeze out of us. The lowering in reimbursements for the other shops is not a good sign.

I've been getting bunches of emails from the previous company, and a few from Bethany too. Last email said $10 each for Citgo.. still not enough for me to do them. Maybe they unloaded the Club Citgo shops and not the others?

Current company is losing the contract. What's posted is the last they will have.
All going to the Sassie (smart) company, and unfortunately at lower fees & reimbursement.

That's absolutely ridiculous for the special project. Not very intelligent of a reimbursement!

Well, the bonuses are going to have to get pretty high for me to do a cheap shop with a reimbursement value as close to zero as it can be. And this MSC is really tight with bonuses so I doubt I will be participating. Someone will though. They seem to get all their other cheapazz shops done each month.

An additional thought: As we know, a lot of convenience stores have a minimum dollar amount to use a credit card. This means most of your chintzy pay is going to be eaten up to meet the minimum to use a credit card on a product that's three times the price if what it would be in a regular store for the special project.

I did the store by me to see if it was much different than the current/previous company - not really. Basically the same report, different platform. And this store has a sign by the register that it has a $5 minimum for credit/debit cards.

Edit - this store was part of the special program (used to reimburse $6) not club citgo.
