A: Yes! Our platform operates on a first-come, first-served basis. It's best to book tasks as soon as you see them, keeping in mind that there is a booking time frame in which you will need to complete the task. Our tasks go very quickly, and it's the bird that rises early that gets the worm (or the burger, donut, etc.)

A: An important part of our job is to take good THUMBSDOWN photos when the requested item or display is not in store.
Your THUMBSDOWN photo tells us that you searched the entire store for the item or display, but couldn't find it.
On the right is an example of the PERFECT THUMBSDOWN PHOTO:
1 - Photo by THUMBSDOWN
2 - Shows a CLOSE SHELF / DISPLAY and not the FLOOR
Make sure your THUMBSDOWN photos match those shown here for future tasks.

A: The majority of jobs are supposed to be mystery shops. A customer pays to know if their product or display is set up correctly. By letting stores know what you're doing, the customer doesn't get a real view of what's going on in the store.
It is not illegal to take photos in stores. This may be against a store's policy, so they may ask you to leave. Likewise, no one can touch or take your personal property without your permission.
If an employee approaches you while you're doing your job, it's up to you what you want to do. You can tell him that you are taking pictures of a product to get feedback from a friend or family member. Some officers like to wear headphones when doing photo audits, to make it look like they're just listening to music. If they ask you to stop, you must politely comply. If you are confronted by a store employee, represent yourself and Field Agent well by being respectful and polite.
Some agents prefer not to take jobs that require photos because they don't want to risk being asked to leave. It doesn't bother the other Agents. We recommend that you do what is right for you, knowing that we never require illegal action in the course of employment.
A: All jobs are stored remotely on the device you book them on. So if you book a task on your iPad, it won't appear on your iPhone, and vice versa. Be sure to always book tasks on the device you intend to perform them on.
A: We are unable to verify store hours of all locations for each task. We advise all Agents to confirm that stores are open and in operation before accepting assignments or visiting the store.
