Crap...I loved Forever 21 sad smiley
I thought Bed Bath and Beyond might have been dropped since it disappeared off the boards but I could be wrong.
Do you know they have dropped their MS programs or is this based on who hasn't appeared on job boards yet this year? We had a little hint that BB&B was changing MSCs although the actual jobs haven't been posted as of now.

Carino's is still available.

This is a great idea for a thread.

So far this year, I have not seen Fifth Third Banks on the job board. Another one that I haven't seen is Chanel cosmetics, but that one could be a quarterly shop instead of a monthly shop.
I haven't seen Gymboree in a long time and L'Occitane in a few years.

They are still shopped, but it's only the new format stores.

DQ is gone (hated to see that). Arby's was AWOL in January and the MSC that does Marathon had them out for a day and then quickly pulled them without making any assignments. I have seen a definite drop off for 2015.

Tons of Arby's in my area. YMMV.

Shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado. 33 year old male and willing to travel!
I haven't seen Tucano's Grill since October of last year or Noodles & Co since June, hoping they haven't dropped. I had an Arby's shop for January and just scheduled one for this month.
1) Rite Aid Compliance

2) Fifth Third Bank (seconded, I hope they're just switching MSCs... I think they put a lot of weight into their mystery shopping results)

Somewhere in the Midwest, shopping / auditing full time since 2014. Will use PV-500 for food! smiling smiley
I just did Noodles for lunch and have another scheduled next week. They are still posting monthly.
I never even knew Cumby's got shopped! That's a real bummer...

Also dropped out of ms:

Ben's Kosher Deli chain

Laz-Z-Boy

Ben's was posted in my area for this month. It was a dining with kids job and delivery for multiple sites.
What kind of new format change do some of the Lowe's Groceries have? One near us got remodeled but I haven't had assignments for either in a few months. The last time I did one, they had added some weird rule that was easy to overlook.

Stripes Convenience Stores dropped their their three or four-year shopping program. Their time of day was inconvenient for me.
Applebees is now available as a Presto shop for a whopping $8 total..you have to eat in the restaurant......so that $8 covers half your meal/tip if you get something inexpensive........but Applebees stopped making my favorite dish about 6 months ago.....I wouldn't bother even if it did pay more....I used to be able to make about 7 meals out of a to go order....3 items from the 2 for 20 (appetizer and 2 meals) plus 2 more full meals.....and most meals I would have left overs from ...for a total of 7 meals for about $45 including tip.....all reimbursed/covered by the fee.....I had noticed that during the fall they had a lot less shops.....its seems they used to do each location multiple times before, switched to 1x/month and then switched to the $8 Presto shops....
I got an email this morning about a Laz-Z Boy shop this morning. It was from an MSC which I have never done any work for, has never had any shops in my area. Like plmccut said, it was only $12, so I doubt it would be worth it.

YES! I got an email about those shops right after I posted. $8? Oh my goodness. We, a family of 6 would be able to eat well for the take out shops. Occasionally, I would do the dinner or lunch shops with an offspring or DH. Miss them for sure and the chomping we did in the car on the way home.
