After performing these shops for years and consistently receiving perfect scores, I’ve recently received a string of “9/10”s with no comments or explanations.
Now, don’t get wrong, it’s fine as long as I’m paid. But it is slightly irritating. I mean, if there’s something specific that they’d like me to do different, why not share it?

I was getting a couple of 9's on a gas station, and I couldn't figure out why. Like you guys, there was no explanation. I noticed the same editor was scoring me. When I received the last approval email, I emailed the editor and nicely asked what I could do to improve my score. She told me. She went into detail, too. I have since received a 10 on everyone I've completed. Maybe you can email (reply to their email after receiving the score) the editor and just see if they will reply. It can't hurt.

Are you allowed to tell us what they said?

Yes. They changed the picture requirement and they will ding you for it if it's not close to a 45 degree angle.

I have not done a PE shop in a couple of months.. Is this mention in the updated guidelines or they they forget to mention that?

Has it always been 45 degree angle or was it top to bottom?
Wonder why they changed it?

They used to want photos taken from directly above, but the instructions changed in the last couple of months to taking the photos at a 45 degree angle. From what I understand, it’s so they can get a better look at how much food you are served. That angle shows the serving size better.
