It is probably so those shopper relationships don't turn into preferential treatment.
When my scheduler was reassigned, I politely let the new one know what my ground rules were. She still texted me with those pizza shops for months, and it took a while for her to figure out that I work for cash. We're in a good groove now. I expect her to be reassigned any minute.

I wonder if the schedulers for that company are just getting fed up with trying to shove pizza shops down our throats.

And a related question: Why are so ACL schedulers not professional enough to introduce themselves before sending e-mail blasts. Or better yet why doesn't the outgoing scheduler send a not thanking for the past relationship, wishing well, and introducing the new person?

Not sure about you, but if you're referring to ACL schedulers specifically, I've often received noticeably personalized messages thanking me specifically for past shops I've completed for them. Personalized enough to know that it's not a mass email.

Even if it is for that, what's wrong with preferential treatment? I get that the purpose of mystery shopping data is to get as random of a sampling as possible within the demographic criteria, if any, but that's how business works. You build relationships, you get preference.

It may also be that most schedulers have a personal database that they've built over the years. If a new scheduler for a particular area sends out invites from their own databases, it helps build a database of fresh faces for the MSP.

Honny and I are very, very fortunate in that the MD scheduler, Jess Hong, is a real star and would be for any MSC. At the end of June she sent an email to everyone who had done June shops, letting us know the completion rate for Maryland, thanking us, and explaining exactly how she handles/will handle the shops that might need to get "paired", with assurances that not accepting them is a "no harm, no foul," as far as she is concerned. Rather than post this in the kudos section, I thought this was a good place to point out the difference that someone like Jess can make.

Oh wow, thanks for your encouragement. I am glad we have a great working relationship.
