My response would be to roll my eyes since the chance of me flaking on my shop is slim to none. I would have to be too sick to move or dead.

I've seen that as a theme with you regarding this business. There are definitely MSCs who try to exploit shoppers, just not all of them. And since it is a business and not a job, we do have the option of not allowing ourselves to be exploited. This forum serves the community by making shoppers more aware of bad business practices. It's a shame the forum is not required reading before starting.

There are also people in North Korean prison camps who feel happy their siblings died because they didn't behave the warden. Extreme, yes, but that is where my mind goes, and I feel that it my right to express it, even if it isn't the same as yours.
if your mind goes to north korean prison camp i feel sorry for you. not pleasant way to go thru life. not talking about msc butmany businesses exploit shoppers. some on purpose some by mistake. price gouging comes to mind & false advertising & bait & switch. have u shopped for car rcently?.@rothers27 wrote:
The fact that even SOME MSC's try to exploit shoppers concerns me. The fact it doesn't concern you is something that is a problem. I have no idea why you think people should be required to read this forum before secret shopping. Because you post on it? Please. Also, it's important for people to be informed and resist exploitation. I have read many people defending shady business practices from Schedulers by saying, "Well, it's YOUR fault. I have never had those problems." There are also people in North Korean prison camps who feel happy their siblings died because they didn't behave the warden. Extreme, yes, but that is where my mind goes, and I feel that it my right to express it, even if it isn't the same as yours.

Definitely your right to express it. As crazy as I think it sounds, I agree that you have the right to express wherever your mind goes.

LOL, I get to work earlier than everyone else because I need time to mentally unwind from the morning commute plus I like to go get breakfast, run to starbucks and complete my shop reports. I typically email schedulers after being assigned a quick note: "Hey, thanks for assigning me to this shop. My internet connect at home is really poor. Would it be okay if I complete this report by 10am EST instead of the midnight( or whatever) deadline? If not, I can not complete this shop so please unassign me. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience." I've always received a positive response.
I've worked with mainly two schedulers for this specific msc. Well, I didn't notice it was a different scheduler the time I got the email assignment confirmation. I kindly told them that I always complete my shops the next day while at work and apologize for not informing them. But instead of sending a hostile and inflammatory email, I would have appreciate professional courtesy. The scheduler told me that they just wanted to make sure the shop was completed, which I totally get but you will not talk to me like you've lost your freaking mind.
I mean, if one looked at my shop log they could clearly see the shops I've completed along with my shopper rating.

I don't receive special treatment. MSC are not my parents giving me special treatment over my siblings. I simply requested an adjustment to an agreement that didn't work for me. You are free to do the same.

It is special treatment. The initial offering is a time frame which you seem t think you are special and need more time to do your homework. Every time. good grief. Get with the program and turn in your work ON time not a day late every single time. How on earth did you get thru school? In college did you ask profs for an extra day every single time just for you!?!?!? I prefer to have my work in ON time EVERY time.

replying for a friend...
the only reason they're giving him/her a pass on adhering to the reporting deadline(s) is:
1. no one else will take the assignments cuz they're so crappy and/or the pay is so low.
if the above wasn't accurate they (msc and/or their clients) wouldn't put up with this entitled bs and he/she is fortunate that i'm not the scheduler/ msc cuz it would be a "one and done" situation with me.
