I know that I have said in the past that I was done with these grocery store shops and cafe shops, but, once again, I was lured back in by an incentive.
Now, I sit here, reviewing my shops performed with very good ratings from nigh unto 60 days since without reimbursement. Yes, it is my own fault, the MSC Reality Check/Sassie Shop payment details do say that shopper payments could be as late as 60 days.
But, my question is why? Why so long?
The scheduler sends E-mails, texts, and telephone calls pleading for me to perform the shop by a deadline (for them). I consent, perform the shop as required that typically takes at least 30 minutes or more, file the very detailed report that can take an hour to do, within their required time setting and then have to await payment that may take up to 60 days.
All of this is on an immediate need basis, yet their payment is lackadaisical, dis-interested to say the least.
So, this bird has flown. If the scheduler asks and pleads for me to do the shop, I shall say only, but only, if my reimbursement is within 30 days. Meaning, if I perform the shop January 2, my payment is sent February 2 at the latest.
Otherwise, endeavour to go scratch.
