I have been watching 6 shops since the beginning of the month. I like to do a route in the direction of these shops sometimes and they are nice...easy cause there are always clean only 4-6 pumps, "bonus" to pick up along one of the ways. (When I do this route, I make a circle, so I do shops the whole way around. )
All of them were assigned the first week, and I snap my fingers and say....OH well, should of gotten on line earlier. Then as the month goes by I see the date change several times. I called the scheduler on Friday and explained that I would be driving by these shops and that there in the middle of 2 cities, and in the past someone who was traveling from one city to the other would pick them up. (probably an easy 150 miles from either city).
Anyways I told the scheduler that if the shopper didn't think he/she could do them I would get them and would be there Friday afternoon....just let me know. (there are have times when no one has shopped them for 2 months straight.)
I was told the shopper promised to do them, so I wasn't needed. Again, snap my fingers and say Aww man.
Friday evening, I notice the date has now been changed to the 22nd...same pay as beginning of the month so I know they haven't gone back on the board...same shopper has them. I then get an email Saturday afternoon asking me if I wanted to do 2 of them.....Grrrrrr REALLY!?!?!!
Then I go on there this afternoon and they are ALL on there!!!! BIG BONUS now...40.00 EACH and there are 6 of them!!!
This is SOOOOOO frustrating......I like the fact we get date changes BUT really this one shopper has had them almost ALL month and now dumps them.
I say "same shopper" because the pay rate has NEVER changed till today....went from $18-20 each to EACH 40.00!!! A shop that goes back on the board after been taken for so long will usually increase a little when dumped. This is the reason I believe the same shopper held on to them all month.
