Five Guys new questionnaire - what's with the 2 invoice uploads?

It's dumb the use the bags. I remember doing my first one back in 2009/2010 time frame. I got the bag and said "it's for here." I was told they do them all that way. So basically there is extra waste.

@mysterioso412....so what happens if someone doesn't bring a bag? Or they just hoping the "regulars" start bringing them?

Out Five Guys is getting rid of paper bags "in the name of sustainability". There's a sign asking customers to bring their own bags in for their food. So, I'm not sure how that's going to work, for either the tickets or the sustainability.

What is the difference if it is in a bag or on a tray? The other day I went to BK for lunch and the cashier put it in the bag.. I thanked the cashier and I ate it in the dining room.

It has been several years since I have done a Five Guys but if I remember right they put it in the bag..

What happens if you are out of town and you don't know about the bring your own bags.. Also half the people do not know how to read the signs.

The bag absorbs all of the grease! I’d prefer my grease to drip onto a tray liner instead ha ha.

What is the MSC for these?

I was previously taking a photo of the receipt and the grill ticket together. That was accepted for a while, but now you have to take individual photos.

Replying to rpyrce:

"Mystery shopping companies require that shoppers sign an Independent Contractor's Agreement when registering. This is a binding contract, with terms which must be respected. All agreements are not the same. However, some terms in the contract are the same. Generally, ICAs prohibit shoppers from revealing their clients, guidelines, reports and fees.

Mystery Shop Forum requests that members not violate their ICAs when posting"

Glad to hear other people were surprised by the two receipts. What confused me was that there was a question right before the receipt uploads that asked if you had the two required receipts and to explain why if you didn’t have both of them. You would think if you said that no. you didn’t have them both it would let you submit with just the one but that is not the case.

If a discussion topic mentions the client, we can't mention the MSC. Likewise, we can't mention the client by name if we are talking about the MSC. But we can give hints. I suspect telling you this is one of the most-discussed MSCs on the site should be enough to point you in the right direction.

I suspect some (probably FORMER) shoppers may have been pulling receipts out of a trash can and pretending to have been there but not really purchased or eaten anything. The tag on the bag (matched to the receipt) is a better confirmation that the shopper actually ordered and received food. AND it would have to match the receipt. They have been asking for the second tag for a long time but not requiring it. Now they are requiring it.

Of course, they could also pull the tag off the bag as well if they really wanted to resort to this.

Duplicate post from website issue, sorry...
