The whole thing was strange. I know in my case when I took the shop, the calendar came up with a date range and I chose the date. I guess the guidelines said to enter your "planned date" in the shop form. With this being new, there should have been something stated in the email (Please read guidelines immediately or important changes) when these shops were sent out.
If it is a shop I have done before, I do check my guidelines every time, but sometimes not until the night before or even the day of the shop if I am really busy. This was the case for me today. The crappy roads put me way behind yesterday and I didn't check guidelines for today's shops last night. I guess from Bare's perspective, we should be checking the guidelines right away. That is fine, I will chalk it up to a lesson learned.
It does irk me a bit that I was told to still complete the shop today when I have no idea when this system restore will be done (can't see the shop until then). I hate sitting around waiting. I was hoping to get this shop (and others in the mall) done before I have to tutor.
