Scheduler called me Thursday with 10 urgent urgent shops, must be done by Saturday. One is 60 miles away, 2 are 100 miles away; the rest between 100 and 200 miles away -- with two or 3 of the shops 200 miles away, but very close to one another, so 3 could be done on the same day. No problem. "Those are a long way away. How much do you want for each?" "Oh, $75 each would be fine".
Understand, now, that didn't really give me time to actually LOOK at the shops -- printed them out, hit the road. Took and passed the test without even looking at the guidelines, LOL, so felt all ready to go. Knocked those puppies right out.
Then start the reports. And immediately see that I had a miscommunication with the scheduler. When I said "$75 each would be fine", she thought I meant $75 for just the incentive.
I was happy to do them at $75 each total.
I don't want to gouge the MSC. I would be happy to earn $750 doing 10 shops in 3 relatively easy days. I know there are shoppers on here for whom that wouldn't even meet their minimum requirements for about 20 total hours of work, including drive time, reports, etc.
I should be even happier to complete the same 10 shops for $1100
But I am not.
I have this niggling little thing in the back of my head (a conscience?) that says I should call that scheduler back and explain that I meant $75 TOTAL for each shop, not an additional $75 on top of base pay.
What would you do? Call her back, or take the money and run?
