Panera, Panda Express and Moe's SW Grill Have Vanished...

Hello All: I have been working for two MS companies since 2013, and have completed Panera, Panda Express, and Moe's almost every month. Then, at the beginning of 2016, all three vanished at about the same time from the list of available shops. I am not sure if these shops have switched companies, or if I have been somehow identified at any or all of them, and thus no longer able to perform them. Can anyone tell me if they are currently completing any of the above, and if they are still with the same companies? Many, many thanks!

I've seen Panda Express on a MSC I use but have not seen the other two there.
So,, is Panda Express still with the same company they have been using for the past two years? I really appreciate the help...Thanks again!
I haven't been shopping long enough to give you a firm answer either way. But the site I've seen it on also has Five Guys and AT&T.
I've heard Moe's has drastically cut back to just a few states, but they are still shopping some. Can't say that I've been back since they dropped the shops.
That's very helpful info. Thanks so much. I have a feeling my state is one they cut way back on, then...
I haven't seen any Panda Express around my area for a few months now.

Yes - just did one about two weeks ago - for a bonus.

Shopping SoCal and Maui.
For some reason I've only ever seen a handful of Panda Express shops in my area, I'm out of rotation for those, so I wouldn't e pect to have anything available.

For what it's worth...MOE's at least gives you a nice free entree on your Birthday. winking smiley
Moe's was one of my very favorite shops, which is why I'm so disappointed it's disappeared from my shops. We love their Moe's Monday specials, too...
There is a brand-new Moe's less than 5 minutes from my home, but I haven't seen any shops for it on any of the MSC sites I'm registered with, or on Jobslinger. Must be this one isn't shopped.... sad smiley

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.
The briefing section shows exactly which states Moe's being shopped. I shopped Panda last week. I have not seen any Panera.

I went into my shop page, opened the Moe's briefing, and could not find list of states anywhere. Am I missing something? I appreciate the help.
I've shopped Moe's before, but I've never seen it on jobslinger. This is the MSC that handles it. (link to MSC removed)

Mod note: Welcome to the Forum. While it is appreciated that you are trying to help a fellow shopper, it is a breach of the Forum Posting Guidelines and probably also a violation of your ICA to link a MSC with its clientele.
Panda just posted in my area of SoCal.

Pandas were also posted in my area. Worth noting is that previously you could shop any time Panda was open, usually 10:30-9:00. The newest releases now require that you shop during an assigned time period. All the ones in my area, at least the ones still available, are either 2PM-5PM, 5PM-8PM, or 8PM-Close.
Thanks so much for the heads-up on Panda Express! First time all year I have been able to grab it. Many thanks!
Mine are after 8. I wish I could have seen that before accepting them. I probably missed that by not going to the details. The times were not listed on the available shop page.
The times are clearly listed on the assignments page with a note. In addition, the questions clearly ask you to recognize that the shops now have required times. By answering the question Y, you may be flagged if you cancel them over the time slot.

Yes, mine were listed on the available shop page, over on the far right. It even showed the time period for each one, so I knew before even selecting more details and getting to the qualification questions.
Yes, also posted here and all sitting on the board. Usually they are gone within hours. For the first time this month, they are limiting the hours and apparently a lot of other shippers think like me. Panda makes a good lunch for me, but I'm not going there for dinner and I'm sure not going between 8PM and closing.

The time frame for the shop is listed in red on the right side of the assignment on the Select Assignment page, right above Details/Select. The first question on the Screening Questions is: "This shop now has a shop time that is being given to you on your CPI. Do you agree to look at your CPI for this time?" Then the time is listed again on the Shop Details page where you select a day.

I didn't see any shops listed for 11-2, my preferred time. The only times I saw available were 2-5. 5-8, and 8PM-closing. At least they are up-front about it. What a disappointment. No Pandas for me this month.
@Kattters FWIW, Moe's used to be (and I assume they still are) with an MSC that does not use ISS, Sassie, or Prophet (thankfully!). Their system is "home grown." That's why you won't see it on Jobslinger.

From what I understand, the majority of the Moe's locations dropped the program. Moe's was canvassing registered Loyalty Club members early this year. Only a handful of locations are still shopped.

Used to love doing the Panera Shops but haven't seen one in ages.

Thanks for the heads up with Panda Express....will keep that in mind.

They still do Sonic Shops but have not done one in a couple of years...might have to fix that.

Ouch. Give it a couple of weeks, months, or years confused smiley
Every Five Guys in my area is shopped on a regular basis.

Ouch! I've been banned. I don't really know why. I rarely do them... maybe just once a month and usually at different locations.
