Where did you get that information from? I have been checking the web sites and reading the emails but I have not seen that stated anywhere.@SnoochieBoochies wrote:
The over the phone schedulers at Ipsos (formerly MaritzCx) are furloughed until at least June 5th.

well 3 now with the old maritz site. The other two are shopmetrics and a sassie.
So if I only want one particular gas station client from the Maritz, all I have to do is click on the new Ipsos link that is showing on the old Maritz site which is now no longer working. Right?@BuffaloNY101 wrote:

I did that. Nothing there. But it does not matter anymore since I will not be working for Ipsos. They will NOT allow me to wear a N95 mask which I am required to do in my real life job.

I am not familiar enough with the N95 masks to know for sure about them, BUT the masks with the vent allows breath to escape the mask, thus making it easier for the wearer to breathe. The point of wearing a mask in public is to both keep YOUR breath from affecting others AND to keep THEIR breath from affecting you. Since these types of masks do NOT prevent your breath from escaping, they are not protecting others from your (potentially) infectious exhalations.
I am not in a high risk group but the older people that I am seeing at their homes ARE high risk and I am in a high risk part of the United States. By law, we are required to wear some sort of mask or face covering at all stores and even in public spaces. I am traveling all day long so I am not going to constantly be changing out masks AND having to touch my face to do so for measly shop. But that is my decision.@JASFLALMT wrote:
Maybe LuvsTravling is in a high risk group? If someone feels safer wearing a N95 mask and they have them on hand, why are they not allowed to wear them? N95 masks are more effective than cloth masks, and if someone has them already it seems silly to make them go purchase or make their own cloth masks when they already have access to better ones.
I notice the cloth masks more. They are usually colorful and have different designs on them. Flowers, college mascots, superheros, puppies and kitties, etc. I find that more people will talk to you randomly in public because of the type of design on the cloth masks. I really don't need strangers striking up conversations with me.@BusyBeeBuzzBuzzBuzz wrote:
Also, perhaps IPSOS does not want shoppers to draw more attention than necessary while shopping? I know I notice people wearing N-95 masks more than I notice people wearing other types of masks in public. That's because the vast majority of people in my area are not wearing N-95 masks..
It won't work for Ipsos. You have to send a selfie of you wearing the mask to be approved for shops. I have already decided that I do not want to work fr them. I was a transfer from Maritz. I did not work for Ipsos before COVID-19.@chiffon cupcakes wrote:
if you feel more comfortable wearing an n95, wear that, and then put a cloth one over it

The gas station client that I work for halted the entire program back in March. I have not received any word yet if they are starting up again on May 1st or maybe on next Monday. I have never worked for Ipsos so I am a transfer from Maritz.
I am only registered on that Sassie site. Do I have to register on their other site also? Not sure why they have two platforms.
This seems to be the only shops that Ipsos (MaritzCX) is offering is The safety shops that are on the Presto app at least in the 4 states I can shop (AZ,UT,NM,CO)@2stepps wrote:
Well, to tell the truth, it is never really moot it is just that some people like to argue. And this is posted in the wrong area anyway. Was talking about Maritz and then it morphed into Isafeshops.
As of May 20 I have found only two shops (Bank Shop Phoenix) on the Ipsos/MaritzCX (https://us-v2.ipsosmysteryshopping.com) site. for AZ,NM,CO,UT. This has been a surprise for it has been crickets to this point.@LuvsTraveling wrote:

I was denied the certification BECAUSE I was wearing a N-95 mask which IS ridiculous. I was being "punished" for having a higher grade of mask.@bmttinman wrote:
One other thing as I read this post is why is everyone so upset my wearing a mask? Why do they think it can only be a N95 Mask? Remember the mask is to keep you from spreading the virus not keep you from getting it. Remember this, the life you save may be sitting next to you.
Maritz was bought out by Ipsos which IS the company doing the ishopsafe shops so it is not a big deal.@2stepps wrote:
