Samantha taking longer to reply

Has anyone noticed it's taking longer to get assigned jobs through Samantha offers? I responded to an offer yesterday afternoon shortly after I received the offer and still haven't seen the shop come off the board. It's a lunch shop, so I'd like to know if I'm going to get it. Since it was still on the board, I also sent a MAO for the Samantha amount to see if I could get it that way. Several hours later and nada. I'm about ready to rescind all my offers on it. Frustrating.

My MOA for the same amount the Samantha offer was for, was rejected. Dumb. I replied on my original Samantha email that I no longer could do the shop. it's still on the board. That's no way to run a railroad.

They havent sent me any Samantha offers lately, or maybe they are going to Spam? Either way, it's fine, Samantha Offers are only $3 more than the pay that is posted on the board. Just do the MAO

I don't know about Samantha but their schedulers are working overtime. I've gotten seven calls in 2 days with a bunch of ridiculous offers. I was able to secure two shops with them negotiating an offer instead of what they were offering on the phone.

Their goal is to railroad the shopper.

I think there is just no predicting when or how they're going to do anything, ever.

Two days again I replied to a Samantha offer and was assigned it within minutes. That's rare, though.

I put in on like Monday after their offers and accepted 3. Then Thursday rolls around and they approved two for the same meal period on the same day! What the heck. So I rescheduled one. Weird stingy stuff waiting for better offers that never materialized. Don’t they have deadlines? Some locations sit for weeks and weeks untouched at their seemingly “high” maximum of $25 (to drive 30 miles on $6.29 gas)

Their schedulers always provide better offers for me than "SAM". Well, that is after I remind the unidentified "overseas" scheduler that I have received a better fee previously. The one scheduler that does call me from Georgia knows my previous fee before advising that she'll match it. I have her name on my contact list, so when she calls, her name appears and I always answer promptly.

So they rejected my MAO for $23 on Saturday. The shop was still on the board today and they sent me another Samantha offer or $26. I went ahead and replied that I would do it. I probably could have gotten a few bucks more from a scheduler, but it feels good to at least pocket the extra $3 bucks due the company's ineptitude.
