Green gas stations

February 10, 2022 04:00PM
What do you guys think about IP... combining the regular with the visual for the same price? In my area, no one is doing them. I did one and then realized they were asking about the credit card holders and the stickers. Now I know what the "plus" means and I actually think it's kind of shady. I think they should be priced 25 if they are going to combine them and they need to up the reimbursement to a decent amount of gas 5 dollars. No one legitimately buys 2 dollars worth of gas nowadays!!

More About Gas Station Mystery Shopping

I won't argue.. lol I'm waiting for the pay to increase before I bother with the green gas stations, even though I somehow managed to pass both tests without help for the first time in years.. lol

Right now my favorite gas station shops are the ones named after a famous highway, total $10 reimbursement, with no specific rules on how you spend it as long as you get two receipts. Plus paying me to do it, but I'll do them for a little less pay also because they are a lot less work too.

The report can take 20-40 min now. Not worth doing for less than $25. If shoppers do them for less then they will never up the fee.

I found out that they are pricing the shops in Alabama double what they are priced in GA. Another shady thing if you ask me. I picked up two darks yesterday coming back from Alabama for 30 each. In Ga they are still 15 dollars!

It's not just this discussion, but several. I think we need to come up with a better way to describe gas station brands. Because there are multiple brands that have the same colors as others. For example, when this discussion talked about green gas stations, I assumed it meant the one with the dinosaur. Because that station is very green. It has no other distinguishing colors other than green and white. However, clearly this discussion is not talking about the brand with the dinosaur.

ok, that wasn't very good we don't have any of the dinosaur gas stations in ga. so I didn't realize they were also green and white. The one we are talking about uses the sun instead of the dinosaur.

colors might be cross-referenced like you say because the black and red is the same company as the red/white/blue one with an Indian symbol. And the famous highway one is the same as the orange one with the bicentennial number but has the same black and red colors as the one associated with the red/white/blue one.

Want to hear something else funny? if I won the lottery, my truck stop that I would build would have the colors black and fuchsia which are my two favorite colors of clothes. Haha but not black and red. The problem will be who would I buy the gas from if I make my own independent brand.

There are at least three brands that could be considered blue stations, and I hear that description used quite a bit as well.

After y'all explained it, I know exactly which green station you're talking about now. Mainly because I'm a South Park fanatic. Here's a clip of South Park if anybody needs a laugh today.

That's really intersting, because I am in AL, and all of the dark audits show $15 for me.

The fee for shops will not always be the same in every part of the country. Some locations are harder to schedule & will have a higher pay rate before others.

I look at other States because I live in a part of Alabama that most of the "local" shops are in Tennessee and Georgia.
