I have often wondered if the MSC still uses the report for the rejected shop...and if so, that sort of burns me
Here are my two rejections and why I think the MSC may still have used the report (not sure, but it seems like it's still a "good" report)
1. This one was my fault. Had to call and order pizza to go. Had to also order a salad, "with no onions." I forgot to ask for the salad "with no onions...." the salad doesn't come with onions anyway...and it was a recorded call. Shop was rejected, but that is the ONLY thing that was wrong...the rest of the report/the photos/etc were all great. I've made other similar mistakes since then (diff shops/diff companies) and have gotten paid
2. This one was NOT my fault. I had another pizza shop. It was a take out order. I did the shop on Thursday evening before Labor Day weekend. I took a gazillion photos of my pizza, as I always do. When I submitted the report, I just picked one photo and sent the report in
Didn't hear anything back on Fri. Nothing on Sat/Sun. Nothing on Mon. Silence most of Tues. I suppose my editor and/or scheduler were taking a long weekend. On Tues evening, I got an email that there was a thumb over a smidgen of the pizza. I emailed back within a couple hours saying I had other photos. Got an email back the next morning saying that the shop was due to the client the day before and that there was no time to get my other photos.
I was so pissed. It was someone who slacked on their job and passed it off on me.
So far (knock on wood) those are the only two that I've had rejected
But one time I got an oil change done on my Nissan Passenger Van. This van was originally a commercial use type of vehicle and in 2012 (I think)Nissan started to make them into passenger vans. I used it for an oil change and almost got rejected because the MSC thought I was taking a commercial vehicle in for an oil change. I said that it was a PASSENGER van and got paid. It needs an oil change again and I keep wondering if I should attempt to do it as a shop or just go get the work done on my own dime...it's not listed as one of the "non allowed" vehicles...but a Sprinter Van is not allowed, so most likely they wouldn't want my van to be used, either (it's even less common than a Sprinter)
