Suspended from specific client on MF

How long do these suspensions last, till getting reinstated? Never happened to me in 10 years. Only one client. MF won't say.

I'm guessing it's the burger joint--suspension could be permanent

It is sad when MF does that to people. If they to the reports on time and they never cancel then they should be able to shop.

Although it has not involved MF with me, my favorite is having MSC-A block me from doing work for Client-X only to have Client-X fire MSC-A, moving to MSC-B where I again complete the shops for Client X.

Yes, it seems like a wave just happened with the company. seems like a lot of people are getting blocked. I was blocked from the burger joint with no explanation, never cancelled, always on time. But a lot of mattress shops available. Ten dollars for a shop that takes over an hour. NO way

Keep an eye on the mattress shops. I have been getting my bonus offers of $35-45 accepted on a regular basis and I seem to spend around 30-40 minutes at the store while the salesman does their spiel. Sometimes I will do a route of 3-5 a day to make it worth my while.

MF generally does not give reasons for their suspensions. Most likely you are suspended until the client terminates its contract with MF and returns under a new MSC. I stopped shopping one of their drive-in restaurants several years ago, because most of the restaurant chains' managers were whiny babies whenever they got a low score. I figured the low job fee for that client was not worth risking getting suspended from MF who never sides with the shopper. I refuse to lie on a report just to keep a client.

It happens when you are honest and give them the low score they might deserve.

So what you are saying, if the put mayo and not mustard on your burger report that your burger is right?

The same happened to me with Intelli. Those tire phone shops say not available. I asked the scheduler and she said I had been disqualified. I can only think of one reason which would be that I did about a thousand of those in the past 4 years. Yes, I counted.

I'm not saying to do that. They don't like negative reports though. I choose my integrity though over a few dollars.

Yes, the same thing happened to me. But for many of you I am wondering if you just shopped yourself out of that job if you have done them over and over. They might want fresh shopper "meat" to shop those burger shops.
