Just need to vent. I have had two separate shops with different companies where the instructions could be interpreted two different ways. I conducted the shop, however, since I misinterpreted one requirement, they decline the shop entirely.

I read everything carefully, several times before each shop. I follow the instructions. I have a post-graduate business degree - I don't have any problems with reading comprehension. I guess I am frustrated with wasting my time on things and not getting reimbursed for them. What is most frustrating is when I don't realize there's a problem until after I complete all of the reports and they still have my reviews and don't compensate me at all.

Thanks - just needed to vent. Will probably take a break from mystery shops for awhile after I complete my pending assignments.
