Green Gas Shops Cancelled

March 16, 2020 07:22PM
Ugh I had a route worth over $1100 and just found out the green gas stations are on hold. I have my hotel reserved and everything. I am so upset, but I knew this was coming. I wish I could have gotten to this earlier.

The email I got said they canceled the rest of the program for March.

My shops showed up again today, and I wrote my scheduler and she said they are cancelled. I am so mad I opened my mouth and emailed my scheduler, because at this point I have no email about them getting cancelled and all the shops in my route are coming up, and I can not do anything with it. I just sit here and look at all the money I should have made, and it frustrates me so bad!
I feel like if the route was already set up, with a private batch code, and I am willing to do them with everything going on, then I should be able to complete them at my own risk.

I feel you, but everyone seems to forget this....YOU may be putting OTHERS at risk. Just because we feel okay RIGHT NOW does not mean that we haven't contracted the virus.

It isn't about personal risk. It is about slowing the spread of the virus so we don't overtax our medical resources as a country. There are limited ICU beds and breathing machines. Italy is already having to make decisions on "probability of survival" when distributing resources. The US is trying to avoid that, though I think it may be inevitable.

I also understand why you are bummed. I worked 10 days straight on gas station audits through Monday because I could feel the walls closing in. I just knew everything was gearing up to shutdown about 4 days into my working and decided to keep going until the wheels came off. I am sorry you didn't have that opportunity.

Yeah I felt the walls closing in too. Worked almost every day this month. Put in 18 hours yesterday to barely finish my last 20 shops before everything was cut off. (I would have had 21 but one client canceled the day before.)

I had Blue shops Ipsos that had to be done Week of 16-20 canceled on the 16th in the afternoon. I had rooms booked and on the 1300 mile route. I had one ready to file and was cancelled. Emailed Team 6 to get it released so I could get paid.

I skedadelled (sp) out to do 5 of my 6 right after I received the email. It said we had until 3/18 to submit so they were all still on my board. After 18th the other was pulled along with the last bonused one I had toward the end of month.

See I never got an email, if I would have known we had until the 18th I could have done my route. I was told on the 16th I couldn't do anymore. That really sucks!

I was not referring to the Green Gas Shops. I was responding about the post regarding the Blues. Sorry for any confusion. Are you referring to Greens or Blues? The email I got was concerning the Blues.
