I thought that was really obvious. letter-letter-letter ##

Glad I"m not crazy.

Loser(s). LOL

This will be my last reply to your posting because it doesn't warrant any further addressing.

jdp27 --"Please take the time and read the thread. I clearly indicated the shop was scheduled in the future. Comprehension is everything."

Had you taken the time to read the client's briefing thoroughly and understood the requirements, you would have comprehended that there was IN FACT the additional training and it was clearly indicated in the client details that you failed to complete and that would allowed you to remain scheduled for the shop.

You mention in a different posting afterwards that "It is not the responsibility for the IC to tell tell the schedulers anything in advance concerning their lives" however you want to make it a focal point that there was some urgency that prevented you from contacting me and I was just supposed to know and understand why. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY however to make certain you met the requirements for the shop whether the shop was the following day or a date set for the future and to make certain you replied in a timely manner to your client (the MSC) and to me, the Scheduler who works on behalf of the client you are providing your services to.

You go on further to state that you are not an employee but an Independent Contractor, so you understand that you provide your PROFESSIONAL service to the Client, which happens to be the MSC and therefore have a responsibility to communicate with your client and reply to them when they reach out to you in a swift manner to let them know you are on top of the situation and will complete what they require in order for you to complete the shop and be compensated.

I also see that the moderator has asked you to not use multiple names so it makes me leery of you and as you can visible see I do not hide behind multiple names I address you as myself and if you want to continue bashing me do so using your original registered name on here; using different names, to make it seem like others are agreeing with you is not honest. I feel no matter what anyone says to you, you will not be satisfied with the answer. I believe I handled this situation very well, though you may disagree with me and that is your right to do so. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention because it will help me in the future on dealing with IC's and provide me with good insight on handling certain situations.

Thank you and best of luck.

Gina. Please ignore this person. As you can see, they were already outed as a liar.

They posted a ridiculous thread, and then created a second ID and wrote:

"I have been mystery shopping for over 16 years. First time I have joined a forum. I have looked at the various post on this forum to get an idea what it is about. Some post are helpful in exchanging ideals and others are basically fodder. Some are obviously mystery shopping company staffers. Others are new people look for answers and they often get beat down by some."

So, the shopper did this so that they could join in and agree with THEMSELF! Um LIAR. So, they can't be trusted. Period. End of story.

Yup...First statement of the posting guidelines is "Be honest." Fastest way to lose your credibility is to ignore that.

Lauraric, several months from now you will look back this beginning adventure and giggle. Guess what? Poor Gina had to put up with my disastrous beginning. Some of my shops couldn't be saved.

I gotta say something about all of this.

Last year Gina and I didn't bump heads, we collided and I can only speak for myself when I say I got knocked stupid. Gina told me something I will NEVER forget. She stated this in her response here as well.

You are a business owner. You own your business and are in complete control over how successful you become. You have a service that you are trying to sell. Your potential clients are MSCs. Your client says they want to try you out but they need to make sure that you understand what they need you to do and would like to see your identification. You have two choices: Accept the job and fullfill the requirements or decline. It is your business and clients (MSCs) want what they are paying for.

It's that simple and Gina made me realize that she was absolutely correct and my continued tantrums was digging myself and my business into a burial site. I have a business along with this one. If I accept a job with my floral business I give it 100% and guarantee my work. Why? A happy client is a repeat client and working by referrals is free advertising. Gina's words opened my eyes and I ask the new parent this: If you hired a nanny, would you not ask for identification and want them to prove to you and your wife they are capable? I personally think that sometimes new and experienced shoppers forget that they are a real business owner. Even teenagers who babysit, mow yards, watch neighbor's homes during vacation. ..they aren't going to tick off the person who hired them. If I were searching for a service, I would look for past client reviews and their thoughts. Communication is key and it sounds like this didn’t happen. Yes, Gina has gotten my goat from time to time just by interpreting her emails one way and it wasn't what she meant. Honestly, she has been a pleasure to offer my services to (I mean this sincerely Gina. ....BTW, it's Kristi). She is one of my favorite clients and I love to email her. She just needs to follow my logic and read my mind better when I send her emails that make absolutely no sense to any other reader other than myself.

Gina, I wanted to publicly announce rather than an email that may or may not make any sense.

Payment I find extremely fair and Sinclair has never fallen behind paying me for my services.

Off my soapbox I come.

you forget they had a miscarriage before.

My paraphrased version "Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among you, that you have judgments with one another; why do you not allow yourself to suffer injustice instead of taking others to the court of public opinion? Can't you allow yourself to be wronged and move on with life"?

Amen.

Windmillchaser....your reply has me puzzled. I didn't forget there was a past miscarriage. I have had one as well and it is an extremely horrible event to have to endure. My condolences to the couple and congratulations to the new parents! BTW, Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there including our new one.

With that said, they have a new chapter in their life and have been blessed with a wonderful gift of life. Challenging as it may be at times, it is the biggest blessing one could ever receive. Some just don't get just how short life is and I personally go to enjoy each and every day as if it were my last. Negativity, stress and frowns are no longer a part of my life. It's useless and stupid and there is no point. I am closing my book on this issue as I had stated my opinions on the subject and hope all goes well with each and every one of you that are reading this.
Hugs!
