I think they have it in my shopper notes. Several MSCs do. It stops some of the constant calls, such as wanting me to do sizing audits (someone would have to call 9-1-1 after 10 minutes of me trying to count or scan), outdoors assignments in the sun or summer, or gym shops.
As I said the other day in the post about Lowe's for the new compny, I almost started to cry having to stand there on that cement for 15 minutes waiting for help. I have no internal thermostat so I get heated up and then in extreme pain, including chest pains.
I do 200 shops a month. I just have to be selective as to not trigger a reaction. That's why I love Jack in the Box shops once they hit the $15 mark. I can stay seated and cool in my car.
And it's also why they all call me for rainy and snowy shops in cold places. I've done gas station shops with 15 feet of snow on the ground where it was over the canopy and the main station sign was completely buried. The pics don't make the editors happy but for me it's a joy to feel so comfortable outside. (Nope, no jacket and had to change from flip flops to shoes to do the shop.)
I did one station once where we went from no rain to trying to stand in a two-foot-deep river in less than 45 minutes. I was determined to get it done even though it took me past 7 p.m., the cutoff for the yellow stations. I had to take crap from the editors but ultimately I was paid for the shop as it was extremely rural.
I take my dogs with me in the winter. We had a blast playing in the water and snow afterwards. I don't think there's a way to post a pic here, but soon I'm going to publish a photo journal of our adventures on the road in between shops.
Okay, so that's more than anyone wanted to know!
