I see plenty of Chevron posted but no EM for January. They should be posted since the new year is only a few days away. Has anyone seen them on the job board?
Towards the end of 2022, they took away the automatic assignment of shops. They were requiring mostly darkness only shops. Does anyone know if the automatic assignment feature will be back for 2023? Has anyone been assigned EM shops for 2023 yet?
Has anyone been assigned or seen any of the EM shops for November? I know they were temporarily removed in October but I don't see any for November which starts in a couple of more days. Did they lose the client? Or stop the auto-assign feature? Something doesn't smell right.

It will be time to start hitting the road again and I want to buy an affordable new printer that is compact and portable while traveling. I will probably need a hardwire connection as opposed to wireless due to some of the terrain. For you Road Warriors out there, any printer recommendations? TIA.

The title of this thread is misleading. I have had my PayPal account for over 10 years, too. Either SSN or EIN is fine. I have had no issues using my SSN. I don't have an EIN and, as far as I know, there is no requirement by the IRS or PayPal that PayPal users must have EINs.

It's not difficult to contact PayPal. I had a refund issue a few years ago. I contacted them by phone and was successful after a few tries. Keywords - A FEW YEARS AGO. Now we are living a Pandemic Life where contacting real people who actually know what they are doing is a rare find.
This keeps popping up in the notifications tab on PayPal. Their system will not accept my current status which has been the same for 10+ years. Have anyone been able to confirm that their SS# is correct?

Anything that pays $5.00 is not Mystery Shoping, its Charity Work.
PICKL is an app, not a mystery shopping company at all. It is designed for people who are already shopping in that place of business. Or real close so you don't mind making a quick detour.
I prefer to confirm the hours of operation on my own because then I will know that I have the correct and CURRENT information. The frustrating part is trying to reach a live person at the place of business these days. Websites are far from reliable in the age of COVID.

They also sometimes ask if you have a religious preference for dietary purposes.
This issue should be treated same as food allergies rather than assume someone is devout enough to not eat certain foods.
I agree 100%. I wish they would ask for dietary needs/restrictions for HEALTH reasons. I will not touch any FF shop or casual dining shop because I don't eat that crap. I need the

If you are trying to lose weight, don't take FF shops at all. Even the so-called "healthy" options are crap. You could save more money than you would ever make on a FF shop by improving your health, ending the need for meds and cutting back on medical visits/hospital stays.

Has anyone done this? I routinely do shops for a company prior to assignment knowing that I will be assigned the shop.
For example, last night I requested a shop with a due date of 7/30 (shop between 7/1-7/30 , 30 mins after the business opens). The scheduler assigns the shops twice a day and I knew by 11AM I would be assigned the shop. I completed it at 9:30AM as I had thing

MF put in an extra pre-qualification not long ago about the client having and using cameras. What does that have to do with the removal of already assigned shops? The cameras have always been there; that is nothing new.

Yes. I lost ten of them, also. If the client decided to change MSCs, I want to know where to pick them up. I used to do these shops for another MSC before MF got them as a client.
Do you know if they switched MSCs? Seems weird that the client would change while shops were already scheduled to be done.
Did anyone else have a bunch of scheduled shops cancelled by MF today? Something about the client changing their mind or an internal error on their part. Nothing bad reflected on the shopper. I have never had this happen with MF before in over 10 years.

I had a shop cancelled by the client once and it was immediately removed from my log. The location had changed brands. Did the email mention which client it was? If so, I'd hold off on doing it until you hear back..if you do.
I can't hold off. They have hardcore deadlines of 12 hours or by midnight whichever comes first. After midnight, the system will automatically remove them fro
Did anyone get an email from an Ipsos scheduler saying that the client has cancelled one or more of your shops? If yes, were any of them actually cancelled and removed from your shop log? All of my original shops are still on my shop log with no removals. I emailed the scheduler twice but no response. I am not sure how this would be a scam but something does not seem right.
There is no need to be rude but I am there to do my job. The photos in my report speak for themselves. All of these gas stations have a regional/district rep AND they get a copy of the report and photos. It is NOT our place to tell the how to run their business better. That is why they participate in the audit program.

On the topic of current POP, I believe early should be marked as not current.
The POP materials generally have a put up date and a take down date. A manager actually showed me where it was on the sign when I told them their POP wasn't current. The correct image was on the other side of the sign.
Why are you discussing the audit findings with the manager? This is a rev

I really, REALLY miss not being able to see the jobs I can't do because of rotation. So many show as available on Sassie and Kern, most of which I did last round and the websites don't restrict me until after I've made a plan and chosen a date. Only then do I find out that, in the route I was planning, I might be eligible for only one or two shops. The other option is to open
Has anyone received their auto-assign rotation audits for the month of March from a large MSC that uses another large scheduling company for many of their shops and audits? February ends this weekend but nothing. Hmmmm?

At least a dozen years ago, a shopper posted on the Volition site that she did not care how much she was paid as long as it was fast; I am the complete opposite. The amount I am paid for work is the prime motivator for me. To paraphrase the old adage:, though: One shopper's meat is another's poison.
I agree; I don't care if I get paid fast. I am more irritated by the slowness o
