This topic has been talked about before many times. Personally I think it's unethical for a MSC to do this. Bundling two totally separate client shops together. I understand we are IC's and we can pick and choose, however I am a firm believer that each shop/client should stand on it's own merit.
In a previous post I asked if the MSC informed all clients that they were bundling and I got crickets. What does that say ?

At the same time, you're really not being treated like an IC who can freely pick and choose jobs if they are dictating terms to you like that. I don't do much shopping these days, and definitely don't shop the company I believe does this notoriously anymore, but you ought to drag out your IC and see if this is mentioned. If not, they better pony up a salary for you.

Are you perhaps referring to the speedy pizza cooked in 90 seconds? And the bait is an overnighter at a nice'ish hotel??? No nibbles here, but someone may want it. There are adequate hotel shops in my area, so no biggie. I don't really blame the scheduler fro trying. What's unfortunate is that the pay + reimbursement amount dropped by about $10 You used to be able to by a guest's lunch if it was on a separate tab.

I have done that smoothie shop for several years with a different company that uses Prophet. The reimbursement is the same but the order requirements are less stringent and they pay a small fee. No pictures required either. The report has just a short narrative. I see in March the client is listed with both companies. I hope the original MSC is not losing this client.

I get offered a Sprinkles cupcake shop if I'll take a Blaze pizza shop. Its annoying AF, considering you still have to WORK( write up the reports). Its not like you're getting cupcakes for free.

This is never an issue for me. Dad looooooooooves Blaze so I do numerous shops per month so I can take Dad and get him something. Because of this I can ask for whatever I want and get it. And I might be doing even more since there is a Blaze opening up less than a mile from me. I know I will be called every 30 days for this one

I think that there are more locations near you than anywhere.
I only do 3 a month. Between those, the extras I do while traveling, and all of the free ones from the gift card promo, even thinking about Blaze is making me queezy.
