Unassigned shops?

May 17, 2023 02:14PM
What happens to shops that don't get filled? Do the bonuses keep going up? Do they ever offer to pay for gas? There are a couple of those pizza delivery or carryout shops about 12-15 miles away from me that I wouldn't mind driving out to if they were bonused enough to cover gas, so I was just curious if the pay keeps going up on unassigned shops or if those places just don't get shopped.

Good luck if you have the same two schedulers that have the pizza shops in my area.

They won't provide bonuses until they absolutely, positively have to on their terms.

Every project is different. I have seen some that say they only need to get say 2000 locations done, then the project is over.
If it is a matter of needing to get the stores done no matter what, then the bonuses might increase. I am not sure if 12-15 miles would be considered far enough to get bonused for the project you're referencing.

A distance of twelve to fifteen miles isn't far at all, really (IMHO), and I know that my gas gauge would hardly register any use for that. I think they'd be more inclined to offer a bonus because the shop's been sitting, not because you have to drive for only about fifteen-ish minutes to get there. I was able to get a PH this week with a $5 bonus near me because no one had picked it up yet. I guess I could've waited to see if it would go up, but it worked with my schedule, so I took it.

Oh I would definitely do it if it was only a 15 minute drive but I checked it on my navigation app and it's 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back. Probably because it's one of those small town highways that's only one lane, with traffic lights

I was looking at the job board again and noticed that both the PH and the D were practically in the same parking lot and they are both bonused to $20, so that makes it worth it. Nice!
