Irene, I've been in your shoes and have gone ahead and requested the shop. If I don't reach the target, I just go home and cancel the shop. I state the exact reason "I was in the area all day, accepted the shop, and was unable to reach the target. I have now left the area"...a scheduler from another company once told me that if I don't reach the target on a particular day, chances are someone else won't either, so there's no harm done in accepting and then cancelling as long as I cancel by the end of the day, so that the new shopper can resume the next day.
