I don't hate YOU, gal. But it's easy to be a little disgusted about what is going on in my corner of mystery shopping world. I'd like to borrow the machete, please.

Whoa there, Gal. I don't think the machete is necessary. It wasn't me. Really!

I agree with lisa. Jobs are sitting around in several east coast states. I'm getting asked to do so much this next week that I've had to turn down a lot of it.

That is why I'm saying it really does change from month to month. For all we know, the CLs in my neck of the woods are out of rotation and the pickings are good for the rest of ussmiling smiley It is also the dead of winter so some shoppers might not want to be outside conducting audits when it is 25 degrees. Take my word for it, today's were my quickest audits on record! I often see the same thing when it is super hot in the summer. Since I have no issues with getting up at the crack of dawn and knocking out a few of them before the sun is barely over the horizon, it often means they are mine for the taking.

Well, I can only hope that April looks better on the CoRI job boards, since it appears that March is already circling the drain.

MsJudi - If you put a 3/1 dated Cori shop in your cart and you are in rotation to do it, you will get March 1, 2, and 3 for your possible dates. When a shop is dated "immediately" you get a three day window starting on the current day.

Oh thanks, MDavisnowell. See, I learned something new tonight. I guess I've never tried to take a job for the next month. I always thought I had to wait for the 3-day window. But why would I want to do that anyway when the fees are at starting levels? But, anyway, now I understand it better.

I found that in order to open the job details I had to use Google Chrome, and the IE for the report. Learned by trial and error as their computer contact wasn't much help.
Have only done 4 or 5 shops for them, but I've already learned the secret to shop for them! And they pay faster than some others I work with.

Okay, what did I miss? What's a "CL"?

A store but we cannot name the name. Easy way to figure it out go look at the tests they have. You will see the shops legally that way.

Someone who thinks the sky is falling, so they better snatch up that $4 assignment like yesterday. It is still undetermined if CLs are new shoppers, shoppers who don't know any better, or shoppers who really enjoy working for scratch.
