Lol I think I have an idea which MSC BillBryaninCarthage is talking about. I recall recent posts of him talk about a particular MSC and "gas station" shops he performed for them.

I won't name the MSC just in case I'm wrong.

Very infrequently shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado these days.

I think he's talking about the company that also has a merchandising division. Could be wrong though.

I'm guessing Market Force but dunno. Not sure why the need to be all cryptic.

Yep. Sounds like MF alright.

There is no way that any Mystery Shopping Company would treat me in such an unprofessional manner that I would work for them. BUT! I would speak with a top executives before I made any decisions based on a scheduler or editors comments.

Exactly. Two years ago, I told two companies to take a hike. I didn't like how they treated me, like I was some kind of a moron. They were rude, unprofessional and lost a very good shopper.

They're threatening me with deactivation a 2nd time for things from over 3 months ago. I think they just want to get the folks who know how to work them a bit out the door so they can try an get newbies in to ride.

The editors and "help desk" staff at MarketForce seem to have a great deal of individual latitude in interpreting reports and deciding the end result. If you feel that you are wronged, request a review by a verified manager.

Geez. Sounds like you should have received a personal apology over the phone.

Wow, Canada is fertile terrritory. Best I've ever done is 1100 including reimbursement.

The end may be coming for me, too. A few years ago I stopped getting a ff shop after I argued with them over one. Two months ago I lost another ff shop. I think it was because even though I did a lot of them, I held out for bonuses. It's probably a good thing for my waistline, lol!

NOTE: I'm not on the forum every day. If someone comments on my post, I might not reply right away. I've been a shopper since 1991. I've never done any work for a MS company in any other capacity.

Drama has followed aggiejim from the beginning. He'll even create it if necessary.

I will add - I like the BillBryan persona better. Peace.

I agree with you weatherman. In Nov. I earned 2700 and Dec. 2500 from this MSC. I had a 2k+ month in Sept. And of those fees less than 150 each month was reimbursements, since I only bought packs of $0.38 gum. I got so experienced on the gas audits that I could do one in 15 minutes and report it in 35 minutes or so. I did 8 of them in one day, all of them at $35, and almost made $300 that day.

They don't want shoppers that know how to get the bonuses. They want new shoppers because they will work for less or perhaps because they want a typical customer's opinion. When you make too much at this MSC you are outting yourself as a professional shopper and now I think they want to throw experience out with the bath water in my case.

Glad I listened to others here and joined other companies. I can see now that I was too dependent on one MSC but I'm glad I got their money.

As we are independent contractors, no MSC needs to make up a reason to get rid of any of us. If they want us out the door, we will be out the door.
