Txmedia -
Question: Why are you so defensive, rude, and arrogant?
You join the forum, and do nothing but whine, complain, and blast MSC's which YOU choose to work for, accepting their terms and conditions (when you signed your ICA, or did you not read it?), and then @#$%& and moan because you decide not to follow instructions/guidelines. BUT! Best of all, you have elected to be rude, arrogant, and have an attitude with some excellent advice - from shoppers who have a heluva lot more experience than you.
Quite frankly - you would be better doing something else. Mystery Shopping takes skills that appear to be much above your attitude. If you cannot take advice, what happens when an Editor sends a report back to you for clarification - or lets you know to check your spelling and/or grammar? (BTW - alot is misspelled. It's a lot - two words) Are you going to turn around and call them a "Prima Dona" because you got pissed your report was sent back?
You said, "The area I live is rural and there are not alot of opportunities. My former upline as a vendor recommended I try shopping. Easy to point fingers at someone when you are not walking in their shoes."
Well - let's see, I LIVE in a rural area, so I AM walking in your shoes, and I would then guess, by your statement, I am permitted to point fingers. It takes me an hour to get into Tucson. Jobs are not "plentiful", and if I find them, I plan a route. As far as driving for a "regular job"? My husband did that every day - drove 75 minutes each way for a measly $10.00/hour job because we needed the money (when he was laid off).
Let me give you a good piece of advice. You are so far making a name for yourself on the forums as someone who does not care to follow advice from long-time shoppers. Instead, you want to toot your own horn, get pissy because you are not getting paid at the terms YOU want, and generally, show an attitude of negativity.
There are plenty of Schedulers, Editors, and Representatives of Mystery Shopping Companies who visit, lurk, and read the forums. Believe me - they DO talk amongst themselves - and at some point, it's going to come back and bite you in the butt.
If you would decide to come in with an attitude of wanting to learn, you will find a wealth of information from experienced shoppers who will bend over backwards to help.
