You are on the right track so just keep doing what you're doing. By declining shops you are not only NOT offending schedulers or putting yourself in a bad light, rather you are setting yourself up for success. While it may not seem like that now, you will develop the very positive reputation of being a shopper who gets reports filed timely.

On the profile pages of the companies that I am signed up for there is a box where I can click it to say that I would like to be contacted by phone, by email and by text. Since The Source likes to call me on the phone and not have a bonus offer but expects me to provide a bonus offer first, and then when I do tell them what I will accept the assignment for, they counter with $2 I unclicked the box that says that I would like to be contacted by phone. Those are the strangest and most awkward calls and I always feel terrible because their tone and little exasperation sounds makes me look like the bad guy. The companies that tell me that they will think about my offer and call me back, I know they are calling other shoppers to get better offers of a smaller fee, and those companies get unclicked for phone and text as I don't take sloppy, last minute left-overs.

From a scheduler's point of view, we remember those that say "yes" more than those that say "no", and most of us understand that you have a life outside of shopping. If you enjoy it, and like the extra cash or "free" meals, there is no need to put it to the side. We will simply call the next person and hope they are available.

Actually some do. When my dad died a scheduler had the guts to say why didn't you plan on that before you assigned yourself the shop? Ummm yeah right.
