Slim pickings?

December has been quiet for me, but then again I don't do a lot of different shops that some others do. Mainly, I've had lots of grocery shops this month, 90% of them bonused! So that's a blessing! But I've been busy with Christmas activities/shopping, so a quieter month has been OK for me. It'll pick up in Jan when tax audits start up again.
Absolutely nothing here. I'm not even SEEING my usual shops -- USPS, gas stations, fast food, etc. I haven't done a single assignment this month, in spite of searching, searching, searching. I had a scheduler e-mail me Dec. 3 to save the week of the 12th for a multi-day route, but when the 12th came, no route!
I do have one scheduled for today, and another for Monday, and I think that's it for this month. Sad!

I have been doing mostly banks, convenience stores with fuel purchase (but NOT audits, storage services or cabinet store shops. My usual 20-30 parking shops per month are not happening, since the clients have interrupted their MS programs in most cases. At this time, i am seriously limiting my interaction outside of my home since I am in a very high risk category.

I see much fewer shops but there are still many more shops than I can or will do. There are too many shops that are just not worth doing.
Late summer and autumn were packed with seasonal merches (provided by various MSC's). I have a few more of those during the next few weeks. There are more shops and gigs than I am willing to attempt now. Next year, I will start with a few and plan a little at a time.

I had to make some adjustments, but I'm meeting my shopping goals.

I just got a nearly $2000 deposit from MF from all the Nov shops I did for them. Dec hasn’t been quite as busy but I still have had plenty of nicely bonused work from them.
I could go out and do tons of Ipsos and Bare product inquiries but the fees aren’t usually high enough to interest me.
Old standbys like parking and bars remain almost non-existent, but the liquor stores are being shopped again.

Everyone is wrapping up early for holidays. Shops were bonused early and mostly already taken. A few procrastinating schedulers still out there, so you still may see a few nicely bonused shops pop up in your area if you keep a lookout.
I've been turning down great work left and right.... I just don't have time. 
I did do a nice online loan inquiry project today - my first shops in months.

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
I have stayed as busy as I want at this point. Some shops I don't feel safe doing so I pass.
I haven't seen car shops or restaurant shops, which are what I used to do mostly.
Slim pickings for sure. But I am limiting how much I do anyway.
