cant understand why intellisara refuses to reply to me after I corrected her

I have shopped for IntelliShop for over a year. My experience with their schedulers and getting paid, in a timely manner, is all good. I really like this company. Unfortunately I am no longer willing to work for less than the equivalent of minimum wage. They have lowered their rates, which makes it worse.

Maybe you need to back off and take a break for awhile. Im so tired of doing shops after this winter of looking outside and all you see is snow. And to do a grocery store shop where you need to count the associates, and then state whether or not they are assiting others, you, or whatever. And then these numbers need to add up. You need to write a novel about the older lady named Irene with glasses, shoulder length hair and net and wearing a cap, what color was her hair, did she appropriately Thanks you and on and on.
Failing to check all the boxes even though you stated there were not many carts on lot, the foyer was clean, no excessive paprs and trash around. The few dollars it pays and the time involved have suddenly become intolerable. REDUNDANT REDUNDANT, did I say redundant? Trying to get a scheduler to approve a shop thats you applied for a week ago, when the clock is running out, then you send them a direct message. No one well mostly no one wants to do their job the right way. Could you imagine being the proofreader who has to read these and ask for clarification? Kick back take a breath, everybody has had strange issues, Im simply surprised at the number of people who feel they MUST make a comment to every statement made, you know who you are you 5 digit posts people.

I have performed shops for Intelli and had good experiences. For the shops I performed I got paid on time and they were always available for any questions.

It seems the sooner or later all of the companies will give a shopper a bad time.

Today, I emailed them and within an hour I phoned. The call was answered and the situation was fixed.

I have seen other MSP's have a due date which had expired. I emailed and asked them (as a reminder) to update the now expired date. That was completed and I kept an eye on their site, when the new date was issued, I applied. It all turned out well.

How do you go from a 9 rating to a 1 because the Yoga instructor's class was closed, and she would not let me view it, only through a peekhole in the door. I was given a 1 and the shop was not accepted, after an extensive amount of work on my part. I'd bet they kept the report, shady and difficult are the words that come to mind. I was supposed to get a nice bonus,
all my time and effort for nothing........not even a courteous note, mean and nastiness from the Editor. Have never been angrier at an MSC in my 7 years of doing this.

I have done it occasaionlly on a shop that I had done before and found it it was available while I was out in the field. Sometimes I was able to accept and input the shop when I got home and sometimes I wasn't but I accepted the consequences of jumping ahead. After all I was taking a gamble and I knew it. There was no blame to the msc.

Irene, I'm trying to understand. Were you late to the class for your own reasons or were you made to be late because, as referenced on another thread, "an employee was doing inventory (and late)"?

(heart)

I got there on time and the Staff member was doing inventory, so I waited and then the class had started....of course, she didn't know I HAD to watch the class.

I've shopped with Intelli-Shop for the past year, No Problems w/ shop assignments or payments.

There is no logic in accepting a shop when the deadline is past due.

I just happily de-activated myself...jeez, I feel good!!!

But,

That doesn't mean you won't have a major problem on your next shop or with your next report. In the long run, more people have problems WITH Intellishop than those that don't, so statistically speaking, your day just hasn't arrived yet.

I received an email yesterday with a nice nice!! bonus for a car shop and said .. why not? THEN, I realized where it came from.

Um....no!

To each his own, but I would have jumped on that nicely bonused car shop and found out the facts for myself.

Continued from above.....or the facts may be a long 3 hour job that they don't accept (for whatever their reasons),
and no pay, no bonus...take a chance or not, that is the question. companies that can't be trusted usually don't change.

I haven't had a problem with Intelli-Shop, but don't do them frequently due to the lengthy wait for pay (60 days). They have had some fun shops for me in the past!

I, too, have performed a shop before I accepted it. I do a particular shop frequently and know the guidelines by heart. Sometimes I'm just in the area and have no internet access until I get home, and take the chance that it will still be there.

Always definitely a gamble, but so far I've been lucky. Doesn't happen a lot, though.

I have to admit, I have been very disappointed with intellishop. I had two shops scheduled that were local, and one that I would complete the next weekend whenever I travelled (mainly for another company). Well, in the course of a day, I was in a car wreck, my grandmother had a stroke, and my computer died. I received a note saying I had already been Discontinued from the certain shops in the past for rescheduling them (have no idea what that was about) and if I didn't complete this shop on this day, I'd be terminated. I asked for her supervisor's e-mail, and told the scheduler that she should be ashamed of herself for writing to a shopper in such a way, particularly given the circumstances. Family and my own health come before a ridiculously cheap shop. They don't treat their shoppers well at all and expect us to slave away to them. I can't tell you how many e-mails I receive in ONE day about doing a shop for them. I am seriously considering not doing further shops with them just based upon their treatment towards their shoppers.
