Don't you hate it when.....

I'd say half of the time they don't bother to respond to questions. I have had circumstances come up on the target end that I have not been sure how to deal with, and the schedulers almost always fail to reply in a timely manner if they reply at all.

Been there done that! After a while, you get used to it and expect it.

I definitely learned the value of mentally walking through a shop so I can ask all my "what if...?" questions before I'm anywhere near a location. #mistakesweremade

Yes, me too. But sometimes fate had a joke to play on me.

Don't you hate it when...You apply for a shop that will fit nicely into your route. You wait and wait for a reply from the scheduler to accept it and grant you the shop. You wait and wait and decide that the shop just won't be given to you. So you arrive home after finishing your route shops, and guess what the scheduler decides to grant you the shop AFTER your done with your route. Schedulers, if you happen to read this: actively read and monitor your inboxes. If you don't monitor your inboxes, perhaps scheduling isn't for you.



for ME, there is a certain co that waits till the last min then says, bingo, you got it! Then I have to re schedule everything .. i like more than 12 hours notice

Does anybody know who much the MSCs get paid for conducting the shops? As I have stated before, I wonder if the companies contracting with them know how unprofessional many of them are. I do not think that I would trust a report from people willing to work so cheaply, to the point that considering time and cost of travel, they are working at a loss.

I think the minimum fee for a visit and reports other than a handful of multiple choice questions, should be $25. Anything with multiple photos should be more based on the number of photos. But as long as people do not value themselves, we who do will be out of luck.

Yeah, well a burger shop that you have to stay there for 15 minutes with split-second timings. And then a report that is going to take anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour to fill out depending on your internet connection and age of the equipment for anywhere from $4.50 to $6.50 is just ludicrous. The reason for this is because they lost the money bags contract a few years ago.
