Usually when I apply for shops, I get an "assigned" response within a couple of days. But, the last couple of weeks it is taking way longer....and it's soooooooo frustrating. I finally broke down and emailed the scheduler asking if she could let me know, it would be super helpful, so I can plan my routes with other shops, blah, blah, blah, and she assigned me two out of seven :/ I then applied for 14 a few days ago and she assigned me ONE, with 12 still sitting there waiting to be assigned......I don't want to be a total nag and email her again, but this is redonk. I'm getting paranoid. Is she waiting for other people to apply for those shops as backup shoppers and then giving the shops to them? There is only one primary shop request, right? So, all my other rejected requests must go to people who were backup requests. Is there some kind of internal grading system? Maybe I am getting low marks(though, I have never been told of doing anything wrong. I have never had a shop rejected) and so they are giving the shops to higher rated shoppers?? Is my scheduler just overwhelmed and working on how to make these shops self assign?(That's me in dream land)
