After completing more than 100 steakhouse jobs since 2008, it appears I was outed as a shopper; I was not able to select any visits. That being the case, I requested the scheduler remove me from her mail list. She either misunderstood or disliked my letter and deactivated me. One of the first lessons I learned back in 1963 was that it is critical for anyone engaged in self-employment to both learn and hone the skill of turning lemons into lemonade. I replaced the shops with others from three MSCs, am earning a fee of up to $20 + my meal and, for most, traveling a shorter distance. When I have a desire for the steakhouse, I merely catch the early bird special, which, with my military discount of up to 30%, is quite affordable.

Busy, I believe that your other scheduler is my main scheduler.
When they are bonused (the first bonus) tell her that you will do it if she removes the 1 citation.@wrosie wrote:
I got a 1 citation as a result. Now I know not to accept a shop until the last minute. But I was afraid the scheduler would not have seen the shop request in time for me to do the shop if I applied later. I guess it's better to miss the opportunity than to get a citation.
Now I've noticed e-mails and text messages from the other Texas Roadhouse scheduler begging me to pick one up. Also, they are now sending "recruitment" e-mails since they've been having trouble filling the shops.

Phoebe70,
I believe that one of the questions on the report is did a manager stop by your table. They normally tape a receipt to the table that the manager will take when they visit your table.
If you engage a manager, whether by asking for one or talking to them when they stop by, they will bend over backwards to make your experience a good one.
Don't give up on the chain. I believe many here will tell you they normally have good experiences and many of us have taken shops even though we go over reimbursement because we feel; the food and experience is worth it.

My guest noticed that all the food prices had increased $2-3 since our last visit and yet they haven't raised the reimbursement at all.

I did the curbside and it was really easy. Looks like there is a 60 day wait to repeat at the same location. Not sure how strict they are on that, but if they are, will they allow two people from one household to shop the same location?

I thought it was a 90 day rotation. At the beginning of the month, they cannot waive the rotation. As the month goes on, and they need the job filled, they will waive the rotation. When I was doing the bar shops pre-covid, there was one location I did 11 times in one year. About shoppers in the same household, that is question to ask the scheduler.
