I usually complete about one shop for a particular food chain for Marketforce a month. Today, I got an e-mail that I was assigned to a shop for the same chain, without ever requesting it or having been asked if I could complete it. It's for a location that I have shopped before, and when I logged into my account to view it, I saw that the fee was much higher than usual (over twice as much). I'm going to be out of town on the day they scheduled me (this Saturday), but I can reschedule it to tomorrow instead, when it won't be too far out of my way.
I do kind of want to complete it, as the pay is pretty good (in comparison to what it usually is) and I don't have any plans yet for dinner tomorrow (lol), but it does feel weird to be assigned to a shop I didn't ask for, out of the blue. I definitely don't want this to become a pattern, as it is very rare for me to have last minute openings in my schedule. I also don't want to have cancellations on my account for shops that I never agreed to complete in the first place. Has anyone had this happen before? If so, what did you do? And is this a regular practice with Marketforce? This is the first time I've had this happen since I started shopping with them last November.
