What to Expect

• Walk into the store and locate the tobacco fixture / cigarette display — it's usually behind the front register or the customer service counter.
• Check in with the manager or cashier on duty and let them know you're there to photograph the tobacco fixture.
• Open the assignment in the Survey Merchandiser App and follow the photo prompts on screen.
• Take clear, well-lit photos of the full fixture. The app will tell you exactly which angles and sections are required.

No stocking, no resets, no heavy lifting — this is a photo and observation visit only.
