Are Maritz March Shops Gone?

Doing a search of any shops left for March, I've noticed that there are only 1 or 2 left for the month of March. Yesterday, March 21, there were multiple, "green", and "blue" shops scattered over a large area. Now, i see 1 "blue" shop and no "green". The only shops showing up otherwise are "yellow" and the odd gas station shops. All beginning in April.

That seems odd that they suddenly disappeared!

Shedulers make a lot more calls at the end of the month/quarter. And they can get larger incentives approved. So they probably got the jobs filled.
I hold out until the end of the month following due dates, when there are several unfilled assignment schedulers start to offer you the kitchen sink. Remember they have quotas to meet. If there is no bonus I request one, if the bonus is not enough I go and negotiate a larger bonus, travel expenses ...etc I
Well, I've been doing this (mystery shopping) for quite a few years now. What has happened between yesterday and today is not normal.
Yesterday, there were multiple "green" shops 100s of miles apart. Now, there are none. That seems very odd. Some of those shops didn't have another shop near them.
I'm assuming that Maritz took them down.
It is strange. I also had dozens of green shops available yesterday. In fact I put a bid in for 12 of them. Now they are all gone. I received my auto assign blue shops and added a bunch more that became available. I have a feeling that Maritz is making some adjustments and the the green shops will re-appear. I will do a little probing to see what I can find out.
I was wondering about this as well. There were 4 yellows and a sprinkling of darkness greens on my map, and then all disappeared. They were very spread out.
I know that they do not have to have every location shopped each month. I suspect that they hit their quota to make good on their contract and cancelled the rest. I am on a ferry right now in my way to do one of those shops...

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
I have about half a dozen shops to do next week and that's all.

But, I've heard things happen for a reason.

Right now, I'm home sick with whatever is going around. Had I chosen more of those shops the next day, I'm not sure I could do them. If this continues, the meager six will be tough enough.

So, I relax, sip some hot elderberry tea mixed with buckwheat honey and recuperate.

La vie est étrange
I think I have the answer to the disappearance of the Green stations. I was told that more shoppers were needed as many did not pass the test and they are working with them to get them passed. I now see that some green shops have been re-posted and the date extended into April but many have not returned. The 12 I put a bid in for are among the missing. I put a new bid in for 17 and I will see how that goes. I did receive a call from them concerning my original bid of 12 and although it was negative I do appreciate a response.
