I think schedulers hope that someone would do the shop while they are in the area doing another project. I used to do those $5-$7 shops just because it was in the same mall where I already was heading.@HonnyBrown wrote:
There are always shoppers who work for the bare minimum. I guess the schedulers are hoping to get them to fill the shops.

I finally set up an email filter to "catch" all these urgent restaurant shops. I avoid food shops anyway but 5-6-7+ a day from the same scheduler is way too much. There is a car negotiation shop I also added to the filter list.

I've gotten half a dozen emails from ACL this week about an "urgent" location they need done that is 1 1/2 hours away. A couple of the emails even mentioned "I know this location isn't near to you".....and yet they only added a $10 bonus to the last email for a reimbursement only job at a mediocre restaurant. No wonder they can't get anyone to take the job.
I quit keeping track of my scheduler. They change on me more often than my hair color.@SunshineDaisies wrote:
Working as a scheduler for ACL requires you being a masochist. Low fees, no real bonus budget to work with when you spend it all in one go in areas with no shoppers within 100 miles, and you've harassed people to death on social media just to get that one job done. And then at the end of the month, they'll cheat you out of your commission and get upset when you call them out on it. They expect you to work miracles and your answers to questions vary depending on who you ask. I loved scheduling in theory. Not so much in practice with them but I would love to give it another go with a better company.
And that's a huge problem -- especially when you go (way) out of your way to do a promo shop for a desperate scheduler and then the new scheduler overlooks the favor.@SoCalMama wrote:
