Last night I chose around 7 of them. It took time to decide which ones I could do and on which dates.
I got an email cancelling them all today and "if you need further ASSISTANCE to contact them".
I don't think I was "assisted" at all in the first place by having them all be cancelled. I've emailed to ask why.
My other shops are all still there and I can still request other shops, at least in other cities since there are none left in my city.
Does anyone know what is going on?

I have no idea which shop fits that description. Are you saying you can see shops for this client in other cities?

No, I can see other shops in other cities. It's the burger client.

Unfortunately, since I'm not sure who it is I can't search to see if they are visible to me. If you are not aware of either being made or of possibly just reached the maximum allowable, it could one of two other things. The client pulled them for whatever reasons or MF needed to make change to the guidelines and/or report. Their lack of explanations is just mind boggling.

Surely another member will recognize which client and check their area. Until then, take them up on their offer of "further assistance."

I know who the Classic taste is and I can see them in my area and other areas as well. It appears they have pulled you from that client. I would ask why but doubt they will answer.

ITA. Doubtful. Wonder why though it's like pulling teeth to get an answer.

There is a limit of about 5 or 6 per month for the burger shops. Did you do any before you chose the ones that were cancelled?

Yes, I did do some more of our golden friend recently. But the reply email I got from them was the standard "you can't do any more and we won't tell you why". I hope they reappear but I doubt it.
BTW, what does ITA mean?

ITA - I totally agree

Funny, they called me for the first time tonight to see if I would do one of those shops in a town 85 miles from here. I told them I wasn't doing any more routes this month (I'm going out of town for four days for a memorial service).

Didn't mention that I don't want to do that client anyway. The instructions are too demanding and I can only do the special order ones because they routinely use an ingredient I won't eat. It's too much of a nuisance having to click through to see if it's a special order shop or not so I don't even look at them any more.

And I only go to Globe if I'm bonused at least $50...... If they call about it in February maybe I'll mention that fact.

I do a lot of work for MF but that's not the FF shop they have that I like.

They never call me about that client's shop because I have permanently declined that client's shops. =D

At one point, I spoke with a US-based scheduler trying to fill one of these shops and told her I don't eat beef so will never be able to take these shops (she confirmed that a burger is ALWAYS a requirement of one of the two interactions). She was very nice and said she'd take the client off my profile so I wasn't shown (or called about) those jobs anymore. I thanked her and they were gone for a month or two but they're back now. Strangely, she didn't mention the other burger client and, as far as I know, a beef purchase is always required there too. Hmmm.

ETA: Having that client removed did not impact my ability to see or self-assign other clients & jobs as far as I can tell. The same ones I could see before are still visible.

That other client doesn't have to go begging for shoppers. I'll take one of those any chance I get. (Not the Hedgehog, the other one. I'll never do another Hedgehog if I can avoid it.)

Cinco guidos? I'm doing one tomorrow.

If we're talking about the same "other client" the original 2 locations (south of OKC) go quickly, but they've added 2 more in the last few months on the north side of OKC and about 10 shops are just sitting, and sitting. The new ones are too far for me to go without a bonus. Guess there are no MF shoppers in the north OKC area?

I love the Hedgehog shops. A big plus is having lots of choices for the entrees, sides, and drinks - and you can have someone with you in the car.

I hadn't heard of a 5-6 shop limit on the "classic taste" shops. Is that written somewhere?

I can't for the life of me figure out what the "hedgehog" and "classic taste" shops are. Are they regional? I never see any shops that makes me associate it with those clues. Am I just dense and not seeing the connection?

Both are national shops. "Hedgehog" - think of a classic video game. "Classic taste" - I was copying what the OP said, but my shops say "same great taste" in the Action column of the Potential Assignments Page.

Thanks very much for the help. Now I got both. I was banging my head against the wall wondering how come I could not figure it out.

The shop limit is 4 per day. MF lists it on the bottom of their pages when you are selecting a date. Also, for one of the clients it reads this, "I understand and agree that I may complete only one (1) FF CHAIN NAME HERE assignment during any meal period (i.e. I can only do one breakfast shop a day)." I wonder if this is why you got them pulled. You broke their procedure rules. ?

I was told by a MF scheduler that there is a limit to the number of fast food shops you can do per month. It was around 5 or 6. I don't remember the exact number b/c I don't usually do that many. Maybe they can waive that requirement if they are desperate to get one done, don't know. That is per month, and is different from the 4 per day of any kind. I have not seen it written any place, but I've been told about the limit more than once. I would assume, however, that if you did the limit, the shops would not appear on your selection page.

It doesn't sound like the shopper was going to do them all in one day or meal period as she stated that she took her time picking dates for them.

It came to me when I saw a super sonic jet flying over some golden arches.

Were five men standing nearby, watching?

You know, I just figured the name of the one with all the people was about the founders of the restaurant. Supposedly it was a father & sons, I think I read? In their own bathroom. Do all of them have newspaper articles all over the place, including in the restrooms?

Anyway, last time I was there, I noticed there was five people working in the kitchen. Are there always? Is that part of their "thing"?

I love all the creative names here.


ETA: Ooops. What was I thinking?! Sheesh.

For years, the limit for the shop that started this thread was six per month. Ater having done four already earlier this month (January 2013), a scheduler called and asked me to take three more. I pointed out the limit of six, and she replied that she would not be able to schedule them if it would be over my limit, so I wound up with seven for the month. However, now none of these shops are showing up for me for February.
I was blocked from these shops a couple of years ago, and I asked several times if the client was dropped or if I was being blocked, and I got the response, "We can't discuss clients, and the jobs you see are the ones you can get." It wasn't until after four months of not seeeing them, that a scheduler called to ask me to visit a different FF shop. I said I would consider it, but would need to know about the availability of the shop discussed in this thread before I could agree to anything else. The scheduler checked and found that I had supposedly declined those shops forever. Of course I never had, and with a press of a button on their end, this thread's shops were restored to my board.
Until February 2013. After having done seven in January 2013.
Don't know if there's a correlation.
If they don't show up next week, and if robo-Samantha doesn't start sending offers soon, I'll be trying to talk to the right scheduler.

Nevermind - I was confused about which client it was. Now that I have figured it out -yes I don't get any info on because I made sure I didn't qualify for them.

Stormcloud you created an ICA violation by naming the client in this thread. Please use the edit button to remove the client name. This particular MSC polices this forum regularly and you truly don't want to be in an ICA violation, it is against their rules and forum rules.

Pretty much the entire thread has become one giant violation. The "hints" are way to blatant and one is not even a hint, but the name is Spanish.

I agree. It may be more than a moderator can edit. I'd delete the thread.

And before anyone even starts about how ICAs don't really matter, etc. If this thread gets deleted the mods are doing you a big favor. This MSC (and many others) monitor forums and you may not be as anonymous as you think you are.
