So what happened? Don't leave us hanging like this!
I have his first name from the order, and I have to say it is very good fit for the first name of a fearless master spy. If he needs to stay undercover for whatever reason, I will of course stay mum. I will refer to him using the code name "Intrepid". |

Hi JSmith,
I have a job of a type that might suit you, although in my case the employer operates all over the US, but not in Canada. The work involves visiting supermarkets armed with a barcode scanner and data collection device, and scanning products that the supermarket is promoting in any particular week. There is no supervision, no pressure, some flexibility in the hours to be worked, and the hourly pay rate is OK for unskilled work. |

What on earth is the business case for that work?! Is this all about one grocery chain keeping on top of what other grocery chains are doing? You'd think they could figure that out from looking at ads! I'm just trying to understand why they would pay you to do this!

While I was scanning the peeling labels on bottles of sparkling cider in Savemart Lobby, a store customer enquired as to whether I was carbon dating the display. A funny and pretty accurate comment. |

Re: Gizza Job
Was on one of my food delivery gigs the other morning, waiting for food to be cooked in one of the local Mexican market/eatery places. This place is very popular and busy. A dude rocked up to a table with sombrero and guitar and started loudly serenading three blokes eating breakfast. Now if it was me sitting at the table, by now my face would be burning with embarrassment, but the reaction from the diners was about the same as if someone had just turned the TV on. Nice to see there is still some entertainment to be had that does not involve staring at a cellphone. I was half expecting trumpet players to ride in on their horses.

Re: Gizza Job
So I am now working for $1.45 an hour. Sounds about right.

Re: Gizza Job
Sid, I think you should start a YouTube or Tiktok channel, with short, funny videos about your assorted experiences and comments on them. You might build up quite a following, and attract some advertising bucks. And not being a spring chicken just starting out makes it even better.

https://payup.wtf/doordash/no-free-lunch-report So what keeps YOU, Sid, working at this? I presume you aren't doing it for the money. Do you agree with the '$1.45/hr' conclusion for your personal experience? I wonder how many people are doing it for 'curiosity', to see just how much they can make ... and then give up once they realize it sucks. I worked with a guy recently who worked as an Uber driver, just so he could figure out the whole financial picture (he concluded it was a terrible deal).
