Well, I'm in the same spot. Yesterday I did my 4 shops, or tried to. Two of my stores were not there. The first address was a private residence. Geesh, you would think they would know the addresses of the places they want shopped. I contacted the scheduler immediately. After a scolding about not calling first (no number could be found for one and the other took a lot to find the number to find out it was a Boost Mobile store) he told me I wouldn't be paid if I did not complete all four shops. He told me to Google another store nearby and send him the address when I got home. I did that, making my planned route A LOT longer. So, it was late when I got home..after 8 PM. Well, no response now and the shop is overdue. I felt like I wanted to abort after the first shop was a house, but finished the shops..PITA. However, I decided I'm not going to fill in the lengthy reports until I hear back with the changed addresses. I don't have a good feeling about this. Doing four plain 'ole cell shops would have been much easier. I did the competitive group last year for Maritz also and they were smooth sailing. I think IPSOS has a lot of bad addresses on their lists. I know it's my fault for not calling ahead before I left, but, well, I didn't. So, if it goes south, I guess it's on me. Meanwhile along the way, I did one of the easiest $35 retail shops ever and was kicking myself with these dumbass cell shops.
