WWYD Trying to Build a Route but then you can't claim some shops

Curious how you would handle the following. I am trying to build a route of gas stations that is 40 minutes away and I see 10 shops that I can claim, I am logged in and I see the open dates for all of them. I am able to claim the first one, but then to my disappointment, I can only claim one more of the batch. The other ones go from open dates to pick a valid date on the map and every day for the month is now grayed out.

I don't want to go that far out of my way for two shops when the intention was a double digit shopping trip. How would you handle this?

Is there a way to accurately see which shops are available to me before I self assign? I figured since I was logged in and open dates appeared that I could self assign them. I don't want to get a rep for flaking, but it seems like they are pulling a trick when I find out later I can't self assign and I won't feel bad for not doing them. Had I known ahead of time that I could only claim 2, then I wouldn't have bothered.

It depends on which company you are talking about. In some cases, you would have to have a scheduler schedule a route for you, since the computer system at one company (Market Force) limits to a few a day for one particular gas client. If this is the company you are talking about, then I either email the help desk with the shops I want to do, or schedule them and have the help desk change them to the date I want.
Send an email to the general mail box if there is no scheduler. List the other shops you needed to make the route and state that you will not be able to make the trip for just one or two. Save a copy of the email. You'll have proof that you tried and didn’t actually flake if they never respond and you decide to let them expire from your log.
