CoRI Confessions….
Yep, I was pulled back in with the lure of “just up the road.”
It really was just up the road, but I am also an idiot and forgot the intensive effort required for this company to barely compensate a shopper…..funny my college degrees looked SO CONVINCING…..I was just starting to feel clever.
Allow me to do the math:
Lured in by the shoe shop, but actually did the math before I started dreaming of new shoes.
Got tricked into the entire stew when I saw my zip code……. I’ll give ‘em that time for free.
Cool I am able to load to my cart without taking one of their stupid training courses, get excited take four total, none more than 3 miles from home. 4 minutes
“Oh, I see that I do need to take the training after all… well for $7 and $2 reimb. how much could their be?”
(when will someone give my inner voice her proper meds?)
There are 79 pages to the training slide show - OMG - I am NOT kidding - I wish I was!
I get through 29 and then cut straight to the test, 7 questions…. 15 minutes
Whatever…I am on the road….check the camera….holy poop…..stop at the drug store, $17.99 for the batteries. I know the holidays did this to the camera, so I am not counting it against the shop, but I was tempted to once I wrote it here.
*free*
At the gas station, pumping (freezing), taking pics of the restroom, etc. 12 minutes
Report time ten minutes, coming to grips with the message “text entered too long…” repeatedly and often… two minutes
Total
43 minutes that’s right for $7 and $2 reimbursement….who’s the marter now, b!tch?
The concurrent shops will not include:
Scheduling time - 4
Training time - 15
“text entered too long…” time -2
and the next three shops will take 22 minutes……must I figure out my hourly wage for you?

One of my shops actually “…exceeded standards…” and I was asked if I would like to check my responses again. I am paranoid, so I said yes.
Sure, I willingly gave them a couple extra minutes, but the uploaded pics were not there, so I reloaded them, rather annoyed.
For a company that pays so little for my time, maybe they could write in that message (that makes me think they are calling from the upstairs bedroom) that the pics are already uploaded.
