This post is not related to Ritter or whatever their new name is but it is relevant to the side topic of low-paying shops. A threesome of MSCs merged into one company in 2014. Now the FF menu board shops pay $5.00 plus $1.00 reimbursement for a required purchase whereas they used to pay $11.00 plus the same reimbursement. I would take a string of them when they paid $11.00. Since I don't eat the traditional FF, I would just buy a little side salad or a drink which was still always more than $1.00.
I have been deleting the emails without even opening them but just yesterday, I checked the board expecting to see a bunch of them still sitting there. But no, probably 85% - 90% are gone and the price is still showing only $5.00 for the remaining hard-to-fill locations. It is amazing!
I agree completely, Sybil! I used to make routes of those shops when they were $11 too. One time, a new round came out in the middle of the night, and I just happened to check the site at that time, right after I finished entering reports for some other shops. So I was able to grab basically all of the ones in my region, which was a big deal because there were a lot of shoppers in the area I used to live in. I was so excited! Haha. I miss those shops! But I agree, the $5 pay on the new shops is insulting, and the ones in my area get taken quickly too. Maybe the shoppers who are taking them worked for one of the other two companies in the merger but not the one that used to have these, so they don't know what they're missing...? I don't know, very odd.
Happily shopping the Pacific Northwest. Shopping since 2013
