"Dudes" burger shops gone?

I have completed many of the dudes burger shops for Market Force with hefty bonuses in the past. I didn't do much shopping over the summer as I was caring for my grandchildren (which is much more fun) and since I've been logging back into the MF site, there are no shops for the dudes at all. Are they still doing those shops? I'm wondering if I haven't been blocked from them because we did so many.

You may be blocked, because there are many locations posted here and there are locations posted in the two states to which I will travel next week on vacation.

I certainly see all the usual locations here.

I did one yesterday. They are still on my available shops list.

I'm just guessing, but I think your post meets the forum definition of an ICA violation???

I think it's definitely an ICA violation. I've never been to this restaurant nor are there even any in my state and I still have no issue identifying the chain name. That coupled with using the MSC name makes this a violation. OP, please delete the MSC name from your post.

It is one of those 'artful dodges' such as 'porcupine' or 'blue bank'. It isn't really naming though it is to anyone who already knows the shops. Certainly my preference is 'Fast Casual' with no mention of the product, but that is personal preference I suspect rather than being any better or worse than 'dudes'.

You may have been blocked from doing those shops. It happened to me about 2 years ago and I have never seen another one since on my job board. I know they are still shopped. I wonder if they have an age requirement. I never found out why I was blocked - I do miss the fries.

MF is somewhat infamous for blocking people who their system detects has some kind of favoritism toward a restaurant... maybe by giving consistent perfect scores, I don't know. I always score them at a combination of 10s and 9s when they work flawlessly, and so far I haven't lost any of the available jobs.

I've also read that a lot of people here have had success contacting them directly and asking nicely to get placed back in the rotation. You can always try.

I have a few coming up soon. I was blocked too for a year. I guess I over-shopped them over and over and over... so they had to put the breaks on for a while but now I can shop them again

I kind of suspected that I had possibly been blocked. Too bad as at the end of the month I would usually get panic calls to them with ridiculously good bonuses. I'll give them a call. Thanks!

I was blocked for about nine months from three locations by me. I still could do/see shops in other areas. I suspect they only allow you to complete so many shops for a particular location over a certain time frame.
