Hey guys - Just started doing shops for them. Grocery ones.
I'm relatively new to The Source. I know it's a love/hate thing with forum members here. Some think they are one of the best and others hate their shops.
I'm not sure how I feel, since I'm new to them.
Is it common to have shop requests linger for more than one week without a reply?
I still see "pending" after applying for three shops like 9 days ago.
One of them I got "B" for back-up, but I never requested to be a back-up. I think it just gave me that by default. Yet, there's little likelihood I'd be able to perform the shop without a route in place. So back-up doesn't work for me, b/c I have to know for sure about shops in order to map out a route. Can you ask to NEVER be a back-up? Will you get penalized for not doing the shop if they call your name so-to-speak as the back-up when the normal shopper doesn't do it?
Lastly, has anyone scheduled multiple grocery store shops in one day? If so, how many were you able to handle? I feel like these take a long time, as you have to walk around and talk to SO MANY people. Also, food can spoil if that's what you're buying. Do you just have a cooler in your car's trunk if you do numerous grocery shops? Also, the reports are kind of long and they must be submitted the same day, which could make it rough. But still curious, since I see a grocery route as a possible good option for me for one type of route I'm hoping to schedule.
Thanks for your feedback! I know it's a ton of questions. But you all know me!
