It's my understanding that August is a dead month. They use it to clean up shops that were left over from the previous cycle. If my memory is correct, new shops should come out sometime in september, and it will be the first 3rd of the shops that are assigned m1. So it's possible that in certain regions there will not be any shops in september.
I have been a shell shopper since they were with the previous MSC. Shell shops have been quarterly since I have been doing their shops. They have always been quarterly, and the last month of each quarter is for cleaning up straglers and reporting to the clients with both MSCs that I have done them for. Anyone who has done them for more than one year would know this.

Hi,
Yes, this information is correct. At the start of this year I was getting ready for the shops to release in January, but my area had none until the first of March. So just keep an eye out for them in the last quarter.

I appreciate the feedback.....although I thought I was safe from folks throwing shade in this forum. I didn't say I did shops daily.....or even weekly.....just for years. I didn't need them as badly as I do right now, so thanks for that. Have a great day!
Moreldzep - The comment "Anyone who has done them for more than one year would know this" is neither helpful nor necessary -- just snarky. Probably best to leave the snarky comments in your head only.

Izzy,

You are right, I was snarky. But lying about experience tends to make me snarky. That's just me.

I noticed that you are a new contributor to the forum, and I hope that you continue to visit and contribute - we can all learn from each other. I've been doing shops for years also and the frequency as well as the requirements of all shops change over time (i.e., ExxonMobil shops can go from monthly to quarterly depending on whether the site is pristine or needs improvement). I went quite a while without doing any shops and many of the shops have been totally revamped since I did them in the dark ages grinning smiley Best wishes!

When you said Shell Game, I thought you meant the Shell Game in the PIR **lol**
