Honestly, I LOVED these shops. The reports are super easy and really are hardly any work at all. The sandwiches are healthy (if you choose right) and they keep - so you can get lunch for yourself/family for days to come. The stores are everywhere, and you can do a route of them and actually get a decent wage per hour going. I think I remember them being $15 flat instead of $12 though - they don't do these shops in my area (I did them when I lived in NC 2 years ago). I could recollect wrong. Even at $12 though I think they can be decent shops.
I second Mickey. These shops are among my favorites. They have a ton of them in my area. Considering the reimbursement issue they're not lucrative, but you score a free sandwich out of it and as Mickey said there's hardly any paperwork. They're really straight forward.
EDIT: On a side note, remove the name of the shop company. Most companies don't want it public who their clients are (although any Joe Sixpack can just sign up for the company).

Yea, I did look at the report and it is very easy. They tend to make the shop seem a little complicated as your reading the guidelines, but then when you look at the report its a breeze. Do you really have to print out all the guidelines for this company, it just wastes so much ink. I always prefer to print out the report. Thanks
Generally speaking, it is not necessary to print guidelines. I agree that it's a waste of ink and paper. Save guidelines as a pdf, or similar format, for reference.
I just took 2 of these also but was disappointed to read on here that they pay VERY SLOW 
Simple shops. Remember you do not have a to buy anything but a basic 6 inch sub, even if offered a footlong or combo. That will net about 8.50 a shop clear. Never had a problem with this company.
When I did these in the past, they paid $14.00. I haven't been given any since they got a new scheduler:-(
Not here. I was also given the wrong address for one of them as I maped it. I did not do the shop yet. I contacted the company and it was error on their part.
I don't know if it is worth my time, gas, and out of pocket expensive to do the shop. $8.00 with a $4.00 max sub when I really won't be in that area anyways. Don't want to get on their bad side of course. I'm looking about a $6.00 job right now with a free sub. Should I ask for a bit more money? Have to cancell by tomorrow if I can not do the shops. Very confused. Don't want to be black balled.

IMO, and this is just my opinion, I would not ask for more money AFTER accepting a shop. Once a shop is accepted, it is accepted at the amount offered.

I would cancel, politely telling them that for the posted fee the original address was reasonable but the revised address is not. I would then let them make a revised offer if they chose to or have a reasonable figure in mind if they ask you what would be reasonable.
