I'm bummed about Benihana. Has anyone seen Ugg? The last time I saw one was August.

I did an UGG last month.They're still being offered by the same MSC. I only see them once every few months. It could be rotation or they get grabbed quickly.

I did an outlet UGGS last Nov. My sixth shop ever It was reimbursment only. I went to the store 2 days before I accepted and performed the shop to see if I could find something for the $50 reimbursment. Even the slippers were over $50. There were five racks of very nice, warm, wooley continuity scarves for $50. Perfect! A great Christmas present for my Mom. Two days later, I went back to perform the shop and all five racks of scarves were gone! I asked a sales asociate about them and she said they must have sold out. No way they sold out in two days. It was a weekend so I quess they took them off the floor. The only thing I could find under $50 was a mens black knit hat for $39.99. Exactly like the ones in the dollar store, minus the Logo, of course. It was also training day for new associates. There were so many trainees on the floor it looked like an ant colony. I was nervous to begin with. And with all of those trainees, not one person approached me! After 10 minutes, I approached an associate who kind of looked like me, a deer in the headlights. We got along great!

Shopping Central Jersey Shoreline. WHAT? I'm an adult?! When did this happen?! How do I make it stop?!
Did someone say Sprout's is not offering a program anymore? I did many the past few years, but have not seen one in several months.
Is DQ officially done? I just thought it was because of the season. A lot of the DQ's are closed around here until spring.
I seem to remember last year DQ's finished up in the fall and then reappeared in the spring. They may have also left the MSC they were with as that MSC has lost so many Clients. Does anyone know if crosby's/reids is still shopped?

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
Has anybody seen Jamba Juice lately? I haven't seen them since Summer.

FYI: Goodwin shops places that are very, very similar to Applebees.

Applebees is not an employee friendly place either...
I did a couple of Outbacks recently. They apparently just signed up with a new MSC.

I did a Hannah Andresson last month. And got an email about one this month but due to rotation can't take it. Same msc as last year.

I've kept away from those due to the bar and photos of all the food requirement, what is the report like?
To the above, never did one, but are you sure the shop requires pics???

The instructions for the NYC old time budget steak place consisting of 4 letters, does not require pics.
Have not done that shop either.
I was wondering about the crosbys shops too. Haven't seen them but enjoyed doing them.
Jeep/Fiat disappeared in November when a bunch of shops were cancelled at a certain MSC. I haven't seen them since, but maybe they just switched MSC's. Has anyone seen them since the first of the year?
Don't know what an Aubochon is? Never heard of it.

Aubochon appears to be a regional hardware store.

No more Cumberland Farms for upstate NY. I really enjoyed them.

In RI too, I also really miss them.
I have not seen Reid/Crosby in a few months. One of the four locations in my area is "Under New Management" I wonder if they sold off some locations.

I haven't seen any Panera Bread shops.

Anyone else?

I miss them so much!

Ya, I have recently seen a Panera. They were paying $4. for the fee and under 8 for the reimbursement. I can never get out of there for much under $12. so I don't do them. I did one once, jst to eat there free, but my time is better spent making money to pay bills, not eat in restaurants..
I have always wounder when you don't see a certin shop anymore if it was because an employee sees you as a shopper, you have done too many shops for that cleint or the MSC don't have the contract anymore.
Correct I was informed by the Scheduler from the MSC that they cut the program in October.
what program was cut in october? Panera?
