*Be careful* with MF phone assigned shops

Be careful with MF phone assigned shops

Just passing this on. I got a call center inquiry for the "Burger" shop and I accepted the assignment yesterday, 2/14. He asked me which date and I DID say 2/14 because this Burger was next to my DD's high school here'd id be dropping her off for an activity that night. Ok, cool. I drop her off, go do the shop, drive home pleased that I made use of my time . Last night I go to do my report and I can't - why? The call center guy assigned me the shop for FEB 15 (today). This is *never* happened before so to be honest, I don't check the date assigned as it's always been perfect. I should've known better, this guy's every 3rd word was "uh" or "okay"

.

I'm not gonna cancel now because MF I feel has been fair to me in the past - they listened to my case and worked with me so basically I'll re-do the shop tonight and after the extra $17 expense I'll make $3 bucks for my time

(No, I won't eat beyond one bite - I feel the burgers are a shame - Fast Food burgers are better even

So just passing this along - if you aren't doing it - as I wasn't - double check the assigned date on call-center assigned shops.

More About Phone Shops

Seems like at least in my area MF has very few shops- income tax prep shops- I cannot do any of those as we have a VERY complicated tax return and would trust for it to be done on a shop nor do I think the company would want to do it! And the only other shops are burger shops and I refuse to travel and eat that food for a low $9 fee and seems someone around here jumps at it- they must be starving or hard up or both. I get emails about mattress shops but none actually on the board and to be tormented by a commission salesperson for $10 is not in the cards for me. used to do a lot for MF not anymore.

Please remember to check their website after a shop is assigned via phone to make sure everything is correct. You should also have received an email. Both would have shown you Feb 15.

You may have been able to change the date on the app to the 14th.

100% I did get the email and 100% it did say 2/15 - I admit that 100%. Just with all the shops I've done - the date was always correct , I just never thought I had to check. I will from now on for sure. I just posted here hoping it might save someone else from assuming.

Tried last night to change date it said "this shop has already been reported" - so oh well, it's basically just wasting a bit of time tonight. It happens.

Thanks for sharing. It's a good reminder.

If you're able to get a response from Help Desk in time, someone may be able to update/adjust the shop for you.

With my experience: I will never take shop with call from MF. in the past they call me with offers that are far away. and refuse to assign that are next to me.
