I agree with Jake on everything he has commented upon.
I'm assuming that you are venting about Maritz' irritating issues, since you (pjaugustine) have been doing these shops for years (with Maritz, I'm assuming). Obviously, then you must be making enough money from them to overcome your frustrations.
I don't know if there is much a shopper can do but learn to deal with the irritations, take them into account and adjust your shopping methods to reflect the various needs as such. Those are not solutions, I know, but I've found that issues that I cannot "fix", I just try to take a deep breath and move on.
For instance, there is another MSC that has a monthly shop in a nearby city. I've made the decision that for the amount of pay for the amount of work and time involved is just not worth the effort on my part. I've told their scheduler as much.
On a regular basis, I still get the begging e-mails about performing the shop. Nope, not for that pay!
Since refusing the job, I've always felt much better.
Maybe, that's what you should do.
