Rants On the Last Day of Winter

So, on my daily drive performing whatever shops I've assigned myself, I realized I have a few complaints:
1) BP shops - they ask the shopper to include as many problem areas in one photo. Why then why do they have all those questions that require a singular photo for each infraction. I mean, IMO, why do I have to have basically the same photo for an area of so many different infractions in that same area? Are they really just trying to screw with their shoppers?
2) Shell shops - How do I report that their employee is picking their nose (and then eating it?????) I mean yuk in so many different ways that I don't even want to eat any of the various hot food that were put out by said employee.
3) Crude old man (and old ladies) who make insinuating, sexist comments? example "Hey honey, I get off at (insert time) today (or tonight) at (time). Interested?" This is before the reveal!
4) Gas stations where the smell of weed is so pervasive that it is evident the employee has been partaking.
5) Shops where the end of the month is so very near that the scheduler sends and E-mail midday asking if you, the shopper are interested. First of all, I'm already out doing shops, Secondly, you, the scheduler never answers until much later in the day. after, I'm much past that address you "desperately" need the shop done. Just put the shop up first thing in the morning. Forget about E-mails!

Sorry, (not really) it's snowing, its cold and I'm tired of fish for dinner.

Snowing? I'm only in Northern AL, why are you getting snowed on when it's 70° today just 3 hours away?

Anyway.. BP says quite clearly in the guidelines that you should get as many infractions in a single picture as possible, and you should report only the infractions you can get in the picture. They don't want you to report an infraction if you can't get it into the picture. Of course the editors will come back and say that they saw the infraction in a different picture and you should have reported it and taken another picture. Which is exactly why I say to take lots of extra pictures, especially at BP. You may need to crop a picture to show something that you couldn't get in one of the pictures you included. I'm not arguing, I'm agreeing.

The shopper picking their nose? You mean to CSR.. at least I hope. But speaking as a person who has had nose surgery and whose nose hasn't stopped running since 2007 when I had the surgery. I guess nose picking isn't necessary, but it keeps me from having to keep vaseline in my nose. I'm not sure which I hate more. So I'm not very likely to even try to report such things.

I know that I'm not a pretty person, So cat calls have never been my experience, But you really aren't required to respond. You can keep right on walking without engaging.

If they are smoking weed at the gas station while they are supposed to be working I'm sure that should be reported. But even here in AL the cops just don't care, pot is just pot, and I believe GA has approved pot for medicinal use. I may be mistaken, but I really thought it was just AL that was incredibly stupid about changing the laws.

I quit working for an MSC because a scheduler called me while I was in the middle of a conversation, at a shop that she had scheduled me to do at exactly that time just a few hours before. I told her that I had better get paid for the shop after she called me and messed it all up in the middle, so that she could offer me another job for the next day. I did get paid, and I did talk to someone who claimed to be her supervisor, but I also never worked for them again.

Isn't the first day of Spring March 20th? We still have some snow here in random piles.. I thought we were supposed to get more today/ tomorrow but it looks like that changed to rain. It's 33 here right now
Focus on the questionnaire and not world hunger.
OMGosh! You sound like you are shopping the same stores that I am! Who knew?!

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
