Maybe soon India will start shipping their call center jobs over here.

The person who called me earlier this week was very rude. I said I could not do a shop and she kept asking "why not?"after I told her I did not have time. I finally hung up.

I don't bother answering the calls anymore, I can't understand a single word they are saying, the English is very poor at best.

$400 a month would be great wages in the Phillipines. That is less than what they make in Costa Rica, which is $700 plus the aginaldo, which is an extra month's salary near Christmas time.

When someone from Market Force calls to try to get me to do a shop, they just want to raise the Shopper's Fee. Nothing about a bonus is mentioned. Do they offer a separate bonus for a hamburger chain or is it just a small increase for the Shopper's Fee from $6.00 to $9.00 or $10.00? They pay for the shopper's food, but they do not pay for your companion so the shopper has to pay to get the companion's food. By the time you buy gas and your companion a burger, you lose money. The upscale restaurant shops cover the food for the shopper and the companion.

It's not all they can comprehend, but they are only allowed to say what they are only allowed to say. I worked at Greyhound, at the call center, and we had very strict guidelines that we had to follow. Many, many, many customers would get all huffy and puffy when they had to listen to the formed sentences and responses I was required. I wanted to crawl through the phone and throttle them. Even though they were speaking over me, I had to close my eyes and give them the spiel, including all disclaimers or I would be fired. It's no different for them.

I just got the call from MF that I get every weekend to do the weekly burger place. But the visit is 30 miles from me. They paid me $25 the first time to do the job. However, I have noticed the offers are much lower since then & unless I can combine it with another company then I do. But not today. I got the gal that said my name wrong then tried to tell me I had it spelled wrong. She is really not doing a good job trying to get me to help. I was offered $15 to do the shop either today or tomorrow. I stated I was not available. She then asked me "doing what?" I replied it is none of your business what I am doing. I am not available to do the shop and I do not have to disclose to you why or where or what I am doing. As you have no say in my personal life. I ended up hanging up on her. To say I was taken back by her question, even after hearing about it on here. I am adopting the phone list someone else mentioned. Thank you for the heads up on the reasoning for the super low offers. Last weekend, they called me on Saturday to do the shop on Sun, or Monday. I declined money was not high enough. The guy asked about Monday, I declined due to work. He called me again on Sunday asking me to do the shop on Monday. I really should have blocked his number. Btw, has MF moved out of GA? I never hear from anyone calling from the 770 area code any more.
