I did not get my regular exxon mobil route, did you?

I have gotten a route for years but this time I did not get one and the shops were all up on the board for next month. I'm wondering if it's a snafu or was there a change in procedure due to the new ownership.

Must be a snafu. I got mine.

A possibility for this occurring is that you selected "Week 1" for the shops, and they were not available for Week 1 in P3 because they were completed too late in P2. I got most of mine without a problem, but there was shop on the board that I did not get it. When I went into the self assign it, the Week 1 date period was not a possibility to choose, so I understand why it did not come back to me automatically. (I had put in to auto-assign the station for Week 1).

I also, received mine (late last week AAMOF). The possibility described is what often has occurred with my shops. Its my belief that whoever does the same shops I do in the in the months that I cannot do them, waits until they're bonused. That means that some of the shops that I selected for the 1st week were done the previous month in the last weeks of the previous month after being added with an incentive.

My advice to anyone who selects to do the shops again is to check the board after either receiving the Email notification of your assignments or during the last weeks of the month. That has been my experience.

When you take routes of these, are you accepting them at the base rate or is it at a negotiated rate?

Are people really doing these shops at base pay?

Absolutely, if I don't someone else will.
Six stations, three hours, $75, easy reports. Nothing wrong with that. Likely picking up other shops along the way.

I do...it's a consistent income, my routes are only those stations that I know (except for rare occasions) are in good condition, and the max time I spend on site including reporting since I use the app, is 20 minutes and most times it's 15 minutes. I can do 10 locations in 3 hours (max allowed per day) including driving time which works out to $40 per hour plus expenses. Add to that the fact that I get paid every 2 weeks like clockwork and can then slot in other assignments and it works for me.

I wonder how payments are going to shake out now that IPSOS is taking over....

Just a thought here about not receiving the shops you requested during your previous debrief. Did you receive E-mails advising something like this"

"many of the shops you performed had been done by another shopper (obviously in your off month) who found significant issues whereas you did not".

If you received something like this, you would not be able to self-assign those shops and, you may not even be able to view the shops on the board.

You must call in and ask to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor will review your answers, etc before allowing you to perform the shops again.

I had a number of shops "disappear" a while back. When I called and inquired they told me that since no one had done them in the evening they had to move them to evening shops to get the lighting check done. I decided to grab them as evening shops and was then asked in the report if I wanted to do the locations on a regular basis. Of course I said yes and then the locations ended up back in my regular listing.

Experience. When I have tried to wait them out to see if they will be bonused, they end up being taken before then. I essentially know the general area where my main competition for these shops are based; anything close to them then me, gets snagged. I also essentially know where they seem to have their cutoff point of not traveling further in my direction.
