Naw Service, that would involve letting someone else touch my phone. That's not happening, at least not in this lifetime.

They only get to touch it if you hand it to them. When I started showing the LOA on my phone for EM, I never handed my phone over to the clerk. I flashed them the letter, and on occasion had to enlarge it so they could read it, but nobody ever handled my phone.

There is the truth.
Then there is the right thing to say.

I would hve just announced myself with a smile and proceeded like I owned the place.

Did the shop within a half hour of closing. Like...4:31 PM start when the place closed at 5:00...I was oblivious to my error, and submitted the shop only to have it rejected for being one or two minutes late.....!

Did a Quick Quack car wash yesterday.

You'd think after doing hundreds of these my MO would be down cold.

Started the Voice Recorder app, and, instead of placing my phone face down on my dashboard as I always do, I placed it back on its magnetic mount.

So the display screen showing the audio recording meters alive and kicking was fully visible to the cashier.

They made sure their name tag was visible when they returned with my receipt. It was under their jacket when they greeted me...

Have synthesizers, will travel...

I just keep doing stupid things. Day before holiday, call the place I am going to for the hours just in case they were to close early. She tells me they close at 6 but they may leave at 5. My window is between 4 and 7. I rearrange my shops as I was going to go there last but now I went there first.

Didn't even realize until I got home that my receipt says 3.57. OMG..... I put in notes that I arrived a few minutes early because they said they may close early. Not sure if that will salvage it but of course it had a $30 bonus plus reimbursement. Not expecting it to go through.

Did you take photos with time stamps? Perhaps the receipt time was off.

Not only ate at-but fully submitted-the wrong Texas Roadhouse location. The meal was a disaster and this would have been a great shop for feedback but it was rejected, rightfully so. Had to go back the next day to the correct one to fix it! How did I mess this one up so badly? I read the email, the eval, and every confirmation wrong.

Our meals were forgotten for 40 minutes, then they were completely wrong, not at all what we ordered.
We didn't send them back because we were starving but our waitress was nonchalant about it. "At least you have something right, lol" The manager came over to apologize and didn't quite give "legendary" service just an excuse for why we got another tables food hahaha. It was absolute chaos and hilarious! I've never given a bad report except this one and go figure it couldn't even be used.

Went to the right location the next day and had a very typical, very "all good" dinner so they got the positive feedback they want.

Thought of this thread immediately as soon as the rejection came. WHAT A BONEHEAD MOVE.

Timestamps not required but should be in the meta data of the files anyhow. Either way, they accepted it and I was shocked!! I think if it hadn't been for the holiday thing and the fact that they couldn't get this location shopped for awhile, it would have rejected otherwise. Relieved!!!

I hope it doesn't turn out to be a boneheaded move.....I impulsively jumped on a recent fragrance shop...the report looks quite simple....I get that it's not a fee or reimbursement, just offsetting the cost in exchange for feedback...can't report until the package arrives.
I've never done one before...fingers crossed, wondering what could go wrong lol....
