At the end of certain assignments I am asked if I would like to perform the assignment again, which I generally reply with yes. The locations are always pretty much in my back yard when I see these questions. The next question is will you allow us to auto assign, which I always reply with NO. I really only take these assignments when they call and/or I see the base fee go up. I would not ever take it for a $5 fee when I know for sure I can get triple or more for patience. I have taken a last minute "fast casual, delicious burger" shop at base when I was out of town for training, it was time to eat and the location was less than a five minute walk. Aside from those types of situations, I am not inclined to take a base pay shop. I don't know if they will auto assign at the base fee or the fee of the current shop I had just completed. (?)
The other thing that kind of bugged me a little about this MS company....I would get a call and they would offer an assignment for a fee higher than posted. I would ask for a little bit more and the response would be, well you completed it for this much the last time so this is the most we can offer. I haven't heard that a lot lately but used to hear it a lot. It seems like I am doing good work and you are calling me so perhaps my time/service is now worth more since I have done the shop, am familiar with it and have more experience since the last time I completed.
I do like the MS company and have mostly good experiences. I just don't understand how/why certain things run a certain way.
