No, I was really sick and had the virus! I couldn't leave the BR all day! I know, too much info!
I also did this one time. It was one of those companies that doesn't give you all the details until after you accept. There were a couple of troublesome details, including the fact that they had given me a bad phone number and the instructions said it was up to me to find the correct number. I cancelled and hope they don't hate me for it as I cancelled within 15 minutes of accepting.@Roxie wrote:
I cancelled a shop immediately after it was assigned to me after I saw the work involved. I hope that was ok. If a certain person was in the store, I was required to leave and then return an hour later. I was not, under any circumstances, allowed to let that person help me. IMHO, it was too much time and would make me look too suspicious.

I had to cancel a shop when I realized it was over 100 miles away for $15. It was my fault as I read the name of the town incorrectly but there was no way I was driving that far. Usually if I accept a shop and the guidelines are ridiculous I will take that as a learning experience and not do the shop again. Hey and people do get sick, the weather is dangerous, cars break down, computers become cranky - so yes sometimes shops need to be cancelled.

I too cancelled a whole route and fired the MSC. I was so sick of a certain "shopper advocate" that I wanted to scream. I was getting depressed and my blood pressure was super high. I decided no job was worth what she was putting me through for no reason. (She was arguing with me for using GPS-based electronic devices to record dates and times rather than writing them on paper. And she told me I needed to remove Windows 8 and replace it with Windows XT on my computer.). I don't have time for old, backwards people that need to retire and just want to micromanage for mo good reason. As long as my reports are accurate who cares if I got the time from GPS or looking at my watch and writing it down?
I've canceled two other times. The first was when I read the guidelines it said I had to let the cable company run my credit. No way Jose. That should have been made clear up front.
The second was for Cirrus. When I saw what they wanted, when they were going to pay, etc., again I said . . . Umm, but sorry.

How do you get a score on a shop that has been removed from your list?
Shouldn't there be nothing to score?

I accepted a "fun mattress shop" for about the same price I make doing an arches shop. After I read the FULL guidelines and saw how much time I would be on site and the amount of narrative they wanted for such a measly shop fee, I emailed the scheduler and politely said that the job does not match the description of the job I bid on and I will not do it.
It was unassigned and I did not get a reply to the email.

I won't do any shop that has been advertised as 'fun' I found out the hard way that we all have different definitions of 'fun.'
