There are a lot of reasons. Here are my top five:
* Rudeness. There's no excuse to be nasty to me. I'm not your employee and do not treat me like I'm disposable.
* Favors that aren't reciprocated. If I do a shop at base rate for a desperate scheduler who is out of money with the promise that I'll be first in line, she had better make darn sure that I *am* first in line for that better shop.
* Desperate emails. I don't mean the occasional 'please help me!' email, but there are a couple of schedulers who send me desperate emails every week, every month (and it seems like almost every day).
* Liars. Most of us know other shoppers in the area. When Scheduler A tells me she has no bonus money, then gives my shopper friend a $50 at the end of the month for the same shop, she's lied to me. "I have no bonus money at this time" is honest; "I'm out of bonus money" is not.
* Newbies with crap shops and no bonus pool. Yes, I feel sorry for them that they're working for such a horrible company, but it's not my responsibility to fill their horrid shops for $8, or $6, or even $2.
Looking forward to reading everyone else's.
There are TONS of schedulers who will treat you well. Try the Kudos forum at [
