OK OMG - I have had this happen to me numerous times. They will just not shut up. They want me to take that wonderful $5 -$7 shop. I have refused the shop and then had the MF rep ask me why I don't want to do it? Really how about because I said NO?? There is one lady that calls me in particular and I just tell her no immediately and hang up. I do not want to be rude, but offering me a shop is one thing, bagering me abnout taking the shop or trying to find other shops I might be interested in is crossing the line. OMG -
