Missing Shops

January 25, 2020 04:05AM
Hi all, I'm new to the forum and will try not to break protocol.
There was a certain MSC that offered gas station shops here in the Midwest.
They were quick, easy, and paid pretty well by the end of the month. Being retired and lazy, they were my bread and butter account.
Well, that MSC lost them as of 1/1/2020. The scheduler didn't know if they had gone with another MSC or just ended the program.
Does anyone know if they did end the program or if they went with another MSC?
Or do you need more details to know what the heck I'm talking about?
Thanks!

If you name the client but NOT the MSC, that is okay. Just remember that even an MSC that may/does not still have a client can be named along with the client.

Also, you have just described exactly why most forum members strongly urge that you sign up with 75 to 150, or more MSCs. Clients change MSCs ALL the time. Some outfit that has never, ever had any shops near you before might now have the ones that you rely upon. Not saying that is what happened in this instance, since I do not know.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

You meant can NOT. Hey dvmac, edit your post to remove either the client or the MSC. Thanks!

Speedway was part of Marathon but was spun off recently. I see that MSC does still do Marathon shops but never saw speedway shops with them. At this MSCs pay rate I would not touch any of their shops till they are near the end of shopping period and they are willing to bonus them. Again please do not name the MSC and remove them from your post dvmac.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

I have seen Circle K shops here in OK but they are at least a 30-minute drive one way usually an hour drive one ay that they are not worth it. Some times I will see them also on the site that offers sonic shops and I have done them for both sites on the same day. I will start at one end of town and do all the shops for one company then go do other shops then come back and do those again at a later time and use a different card for the gas purchase. But that rarely happens anymore.

Oh and I never said the MSC and they have never been mentioned.
