I am almost at the point where I am going to quit working for the source. They really pissed me off yesterday. There was a mobile phone store Mystery Shop that was due at the end of October. They called me about a week before the end of the month and asked if I could do it. It's about a 60 mile drive each way. I told them that I was going to be about halfway there for a different evaluation, and I would be happy to do it for $50. But, I told them that it would have to be assigned for the next day because that's when I was going. The person said they would call me back and let me know. They called me and said that they would give me 30, and I said it just wasn't worth it. So then, they call me two days before the end of the month and say okay we will give you the 50. I told them that I would only have accepted 50 on the particular day earlier that week because I was headed in that direction. You can't try to give me that amount now. I told them that I would do it for $60 but would only be able to do it the next day, which was the end of the month. First, I have never flaked on a shop for the source. Every single shop that has been assigned has been completed on time. There have even been verifications where the client had to reschedule three times and I still put up with it and still got it done. Then, on that day, I proceeded to get a text message and multiple emails saying that I needed to get the shop done and let them know when I was going or they would assign it to a different shopper. I texted the scheduler and assured them that I was going that afternoon, and there was no need to badger me or treat me like middle school kid being told to do their homework. I explained that I had offered to do the shop for less a week prior, and it was their fault that it was the last day of the month. It was not my fault. I could have easily said no, and I was doing them a favor by driving 120 miles round trip for $60. Don't treat me like a child when I gave you the opportunity to not be in this situation. They said it was because shoppers flake all the time. I informed them that I had never flaked on a shop for them. I told him that if I received another email with a veiled threat that the shop was going to be pulled from me, I would never do a shop for them again. And lo and behold, an hour later I got another email. If they are going to treat me like all of their crappy shoppers, then maybe all they will have left is crappy shoppers because I will not put up with it.
