These companies are still asking you to go to stores that are closed.
You won't get paid.
You have endangered your life.
You have probably violated Emergency Regulations.
Organizations that expect people to endanger their lives and the lives of others:
-Some charities
-Medical/Hospital
-The Military
-Drug Dealers
-Mystery Shopping Companies
The charities, hospitals and military do that to save lives.
Remember the names of the companies still mailing you. Notice how much they think your life is worth!
It's time to tell them your life is not worth $8. And it's not worth it to endanger someone else's life for that amount.

Or, they are closed in your area but not all the other areas. Let them know which locations are closed, so they can remove those locations and not waste their own time on top of your time.
Also, sending out an offer is not "expecting" you to do anything. It is an offer that you can either accept, or decline.

I personally know a shopper who is on a multistate route today, in a pandemic, over a thousand miles from home, who is frantically trying to finish the route. This shopper has been threatened by the MSP that they MUST finish said route - or risk nonpayment. The MSP’s position on this: “You elected to take that as a full route, it is one project and if left uncompleted you will not be paid

How do you justify that then? Will you be naming the MSC?

Not my route, not my MSP to disclose. I’d do it in a heartbeat if I was the one getting screwed over (a quick glimpse at my posting history will confirm this) - but the shopper who vented to me specifically said, “Please don’t get pissed and call them out like you do,” so I won’t.
If that shopper gets sick or dies (god forbid), all bets are off; I’d trumpet the MSP loudly, literally EVERYWHERE.

That shopper just has to get infected in order to make other people sick or to kill them.

The ones I've seen include a disclaimer to follow all local restrictions.
No reason to take a job of a location that is closed. Or to do any job that isn't a good idea right now.

If I refuse a shop, but someone else does it, that person puts my life and health and the life and health of my community at risk, because they are a vector. I don't care at all whether a location is "closed." Shut every in-person shop down, now.

All in-person shops are bad ideas right now.
