Marathon attribute

These are with a different MSC now but the regular ones are not. Does anyone know the scoop? Is there a connection between the two MSCs? Will the regular shops be going to the new company next round? Inquiring minds need to know!

yes, The Blob has been contracting the attribute and debrand shops to the MSC that takes far to long to pay for a couple months now. I did a bunch of debrands a few months ago.

Wow. Makes no sense to me why they would do that. Maybe to delay our payments but they certainly have no shortage of money.

I completed a de-branding Marathon for the company 11/25, with my pay arriving 12/27. It was my first shop for this MSC in 26+ mos. and paid $25. Either I was singled out for special treatment, which is very unlikely. or they cut their past payment time in 1/2.

My suggestion is, if one fits your route, give it a try. The worst that can happen is your pay arrives according to the former schedule, but the best is you have a new source of income.

I don't go out of my way to do shops for this MSC, but I was in Huntsville and there were 5 all in a row on my way home. I'm going to be in Huntsville again tomorrow, I probably should look and see what's available between here and there. My son needs something to do too.. He was talking about doing a route in Scottsboro, but he never left today. I don't know why.

Can someone give me a hint who the new MSC is? Thanks

I like the Attribute shops, especially the one closest to the crib which I have visited twice.

Dude running the place is fun and cool, and Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" was playing on the fueling area sound system both times.

Have synthesizers, will travel...

I'll go anywhere that they play "Thick As A Brick" all of the time. I'll stay and listen to all 45 (43 and change) minutes. I fell in love with Jethro Tull when I was 11.
