MisterBill,
You might know the answers to my questions.
I've done the delivery shops when they get to $10. Right now it is at $5. Do you know when it gets raised?
Also, to get to the minimum $15 order I've been able to get a regular burger and medium fries. Now this one has a shake. They say they'll reimburse up to $15 plus $6 for the shake. So can i still get my normal $15 order and get full reimbursement PLUS the shake reimbursement?
Do you understand what I mean?
Hi, I'm obviously not MisterBill, but I'll take a crack at these. From my experience, there's no set schedule as to when they raise the fees on the delivery shops. I've got one in my area still listed at $5 too. I would expect them to raise it soon though, since the Sept. delivery shops are already posted.
As for the reimbursement, yes, you can still get up to $15 reimbursed for the sandwich/fries/drink, plus another $6 for the shake. They ask for the totals separately, so if the shake happens to go over $6 but the combined total is under $21, you still will only get a max of $6 for the shake.
Only delivery shops require a photo of the food.@metro25782 wrote:
Do any of these shops require a picture of the food? I am doing a pick up shop today and I can't see where a photo of the food is required. I thought they all had that stipulation....

So they rejected my MAO of $30 for yesterday's lunch and today I got an e-mail stating they accepted it for today and I'm supposed to do it. I don't understand. I would have done it yesterday, but not today. I didn't make an offer to do it today. How did I get assigned the shop?

Little hamburger, little fries, little fountain drink = $15.00 even with 6.625% NJ sales tax
Just noticed that no one responded to this. They obviously don't have shoppers in some areas. There's one location near my daughter on Long Island which seems to have trouble getting shoppers, and you'd think they'd have plenty in such a heavily populated area.@bbates728 wrote:
I just got back from an international trip to find five to ten shops each for two 5 Guys locations and all of those shops are priced at $25 each. At first I thought that maybe it was just the price escalating but these shops have been persisting these past couple weeks. The locations are out of my way but still, why are these shops lasting week over week, why are there so many for only a couple locations, and why are they already priced well?

I did one Five Guys shop a couple of weeks ago. It was a decent burger, but the reimbursement did not cover my burger and mandatory fries & drink, and the $9.50 or whatever the shopper fee was, was not really enough to make me do the shop again.
You need to wait for the current week's shops to go up in price. Most of us regulars here get $25 a shop. Of course, if the shops at your location get taken before the current week, you may have no choice.@digikiss wrote:

But those $9 shops are all for future weeks. They never raise the price until the current week.@wrosie wrote:
I just don't understand their process. There are 25 shops on the board at the two locations nearest me and they start at $9 each.
I can't argue with this. We've seen posts from people here who have taken them for $9, and I've had situations where shops I would have taken have disappeared before the price even had a chance to go up.@gukka wrote:
The MSC's goal is to pay as little fee as possible. It generally sets as a your personal fee ceiling the lowest per shop per location you've accepted. It is very hard to pierce that ceiling once you've accepted a lower fee -- the best way to do so it to wait for a US-based scheduler to call -- which is usually a signal that they will pay more and raise your personal ceiling for that and all future shops at that location.
Last I asked one of them (pre-pandemic), I was told 50 cents.@KathyG wrote:
I played the Make an Offer game yesterday. My goal was to get the normal $25 for the shop. On the board they were offering $18. My first offer was for $28. When it was declined I dropped it three dollars and it was accepted. Everyone is happy.
Today I got an overseas phone call offering me a shop tomorrow or Sunday. The price was right, but it didn't fit my schedule. Later in the day when I was looking at the job board the shop was still there at the same rate. I went ahead and assigned it to myself. Now I feel a little guilty about stiffing the scheduler out of whatever payment he would have gotten for signing me up. Does anyone know how much those overseas schedulers earn?

I barely came in under reimbursement for a veggie sandwich, little fries and small drink this week.@Niner wrote:

I noticed that they changed the fee to $15 on Monday for this week's shops, which is very early for them. Of course, delivery shops are still at $5, even with next month's shops already posted (neither include a shake). And of course the reimbursement is still the terrible $15.@KokoBWare wrote:
The "initial fee offer" in my area has gone from $9 to $10 for the weeks after this one. Of course they're labeling each with "Changed fee!" Nowhere near my price of course but just found it interesting.
