FIVE GUYS IS BACK!!

I've had reports with problems sit in QC for multiple days. It's like they need to get approval to send through a negative report.

One time I saw a terror face on McD manager. He was scrambling to get the act together. Came out the cleaning crew. They know...
I was away for a couple of weeks and just noticed that this month's delivery shops are now $7, with no sign of an increased fee. Did they actually increase the base fee on those? They rarely offer bonuses, and never call to fill them.

Still just $5 in my area.

For this month or next? I noticed that next month's shops are posted at $5. But this months' are $7 with no notation of it being a changed fee. But I guess it is. Of course, they used to offer $10 when they bumped it.

And of course, we're back to the website bug where they don't sort shops correctly by date when the shops span two years.

That's the bonus. 2$. They started at 5$.
I got a $10 last month for a delivery shop. I think I'm the only shopper in the area.
Where are all the flakers? I miss the Monday morning 5g bonuses. Either they have weeded out the flakey shoppers or people are more desperate now and are doing the shops they sign up for. I loved monday's where shops started at $25 or more.
I finally decided to take the delivery shop for today since it was $10. I noticed that they no longer separate the food and delivery service reimbursements and only show $35. It used to be $20 food and $15 delivery. Does that mean that I can spend more on food if I can get free delivery (which I can with DoorDash, and even Uber Eats is cheap). Sadly, I don't have my usual 50% off a delivery order at UE.

Oddly, I was not seeing any in-person shops at this location, even though it's been more than a month since I did one. I had seen them earlier in the week. Either a glitch in their system or some idiots took them all.

I got a response back from them saying "Thank you for reaching out for further clarification. The total reimbursement is $35 for everything. " That makes it much easier to do the shop since with the 3rd party services, you aren't likely to spend $15 for delivery and tip, at least in my area.

Yes, they've been $35 reimbursement for a while. But they used to list the food and delivery reimbursements separately, capped at $20 and $15, respectively. Meaning that if you spent more than $20 on food but did not spend the full $15 for delivery, you could not use the extra to cover your food. Now you can because it's a combined limit. I ended up spending $21.50 for food, but only $31.38 including delivery and tip. In the old split limits, I would have been out of pocket $1.50 for the food. Now I'm not, and I even could have spent another $3 on food if I wanted. Not going over the reimbursement limit has often been an issue for the delivery shops.

And yes, the shop finally went up to $10. I gave it until the last day of the month to go higher but it did not.
I haven't signed up for one of these in almost a year. The fee doesn't go above $13 since then in my area.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
