I totally agree. Unfortunately in my area not everyone follows that logic. All of the gas station shops were taken here during the first week of the month by the same or maybe two shoppers. And I mean all of them. About 40-50 shops. You get a few shoppers like that in your area, and you can kiss higher commissions goodbye. The only occasional shop I get is when they mess something up and it needs to be re-posted.
