An email today entitled "Bonus Offered on Available Assignments":

"We are offering a bonus for available assignments in your area. The assignment
normally pays $8 for the first hour, we are currently offering $10. If you are
interested in learning more information, please go to www.XXX.com and search for Project IDangry smileyXX

This offer is valid through 12/17/10 so ACT NOW!"

This to schlep around a store 1-2 hours recording prices without anyone noticing?

I guess this is our Christmas bonus. sad smiley

It's up to $12.
I guess no one jumped at $10.

How much you want to bet it's gone by the time I'm done typing....there's lots of people in this state who think $12 a hour is worth the schlep.

That's a bonus, well thanks, surprised there isn't a purchase/return and a layout of over 100.00 (of your money), and getting paid within 3 months. Gas prices in L.A. are rising daily, up to $3.23 now...does cost of living pertain to shoppers.

Scuba, I've never done one of these shops. Merchandising doesn't interest me. But I have always wondered how much the nit-pick the quarters hours that you claim to work beyond the first hour. Surely they don't just trust you to be honest. smiling smiley

Hey Shop/Drop --

I've never done these ( or any merchandising portal stuff) either, however they litter my in-box and spam box on a daily basis -- This type of work just doesn't appeal to me. I go ADD in grocery stores, and would never get out of there in 1 hour.

Has to be Certified. I honestly don't know how they ever keep clients.

They had a lot of trouble finding people to do theater assignments last weekend (Narnia opened) and were throwing around some pretty decent bonuses. I was tied elsewhere or I might taken one. They also were heavily bonusing a little project to put stickers on a certain brand of prepaid cellphone at a large retailer. The closest one to me was over 40 miles away and not worth the trip. Usually though by the time I receive the e-mail and check out their site the job is already gone.

DaScubaLady, going ADD in grocery stores is exactly who I never shopped with my last girlfriend. Food shopping for me is a necessity not an adventure.

Uhhh I took one that was bonused up to a total of 25 for the first visit and 25 for the second visit.I thought, 50 dollars for a store around the corner.....hooray smiling smiley however I spent 2 hours in the store using a voice recorder to not bee seen and decided that I would never do this shop again . Lol. And then the system was having problems and did not accept my report. Ha. I am done with them now. Too much work!! My husband did an announced grocery audit and that was not so bad because you could use a clipboard and be seen.

We shold give out an award to "our" most generous MSC, let's see, for me it's a tie between (drum roll please) anyone offering below 10.00 and offering a 5.00 bonus for a job they need done immediately 60 miles rd. trip.

How about this one. I take a shop with a huge 50.00 bonus with a company I have worked for for 5 years. I head out the next day to do this shop along with about 6 others in the same area but 50 miles away. I get the call 20 minutes down the road that the shop is cancelled. I settled for the 15.00 for loss of shop.
