And the site was bogged down and really slow this morning, it took me awhile to get my shops scheduled.

I was just thinking that. I was bored and it just so happened to be my day off, so I checked the site and was shocked to see the shops posted. And it’s almost as if no one is looking because here it is hours later and there are still 75 shops left. In the past few months they’ve disappeared off the board almost instantly it seems

I'm sure there may be more availability due to the early posting. I don't usually check until 12. I did and still managed to get all the pick ups I wanted. I checked about an hour ago though and didn't think it was posted.

So many of my regular pickups would not let me self assign. Didn't the year start over beginning in January. Anyone else have the issue of not being able to self assign.

I didn't even see pickups for certain stores. I didn't see any competitors either. I'm kind of waiting for a second round of postings. But idk if I am just being hopefully. I don't think I missed THAT many postings. It would be odd that certain ones are just fully gone while others are sitting. Shops aren't moving that fast.

The time of this forum throws me off. It's GMT or something.
When did you see them according to your time?

I don't see any near me either. Only ones that are 100 miles plus away.

The year starts February. The current MSC stsrted the program in February a few years ago. .

I am having the same problem with not being able to self-assign. It makes sense that the reset is in Feburary.

I'm guessing the schedulers are being inundated with requests to manually assign shops this week.

Anyone willing to hint at the MSC for Kroger? I’ve been looking unsuccessfully .

I also had that issue. I'm not too sure about when it resets.

My area had mostly all pickups (Kroger and competitors), and none of the in-store competitor shops. I jumped on it and signed up for as many pickups as I could, but there are a lot more still sitting there. Weird, because those are normally the first to go.

So, starting in February, I can get up from the "no more pick-ups for you, you naughty shopper" time-out chair? Sweet.

If you have the right blend of in-store shops?

Anyone else receive a cancellation notification via email regarding "system errors?" I had signed up for a competitor pickup yesterday just to have it canceled today.

Yes! I received cancellation notices for 2 of the 3 competitor shops I was assigned. Not pleased!!

we didn't get any competitor shops here at all this round. But that's pretty normal, we only seem to get them 3 or 4 times per year.

I didn't see any competitor shops this round, either, and we usually get a few of those every month. I also didn't check this month as much as I usually do so I may have just missed them. In fact, I didn't apply for any Kroger shops this round. There are still some left. I may or may not apply for one later.

Did you have 1 in store for each pickup? I have seen that issue before.

I noticed that after I took a couple of competitor pickups that an hour later they were posted again, but with different assignment numbers. I suspect they got double posted and the accidental second posts were the ones that you had cancelled.
