Recourse? Well, when my scheduler told me her company doesn't have Arby's any more, I asked her if she knew who got the new contract. Then I googled it. Still haven't found the right company. Been signing up with new companies every week. I did find the companies who have shopped Arby's in the past, but not the current one. Part of the problem with this specific company is they actually want shoppers who will take the $4.50 and free sandwich.
Besides, this is just plain SILLY. Companies are much, much more likely to review/renew/cancel contracts at the end of their FISCAL year, which in many cases doesn't match the calendar year at all. However, if your favorite shops are still with the company today, they are possibly well into a new fiscal year, so you are right in that you are good to go for at least several months.
I have heard other shoppers say they have found companies by Googling. That has never worked for me.
But if any schedulers for Taco John's, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, Arby's, or any other fast food, fast casual, etc., and needs shoppers in Nebraska, eastern Wyoming, southern South Dakota, northern Colorado, and northern/western Kansas is looking for a "seasoned shopper", and is reading this, feel free to PM me through this forum!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
