MFI-after inputting, anyone else experiencing this?

August 09, 2009 07:21PM
Recently, at the end of a survey I input, I get a new set of questions directed at *me.*

They consist of things such as "Did you enjoy this assignment?" "Would you do it again?" and if no, "Why not?"

Last one it got even stranger...

"Would you do this shop again?"

"If Yes, will you allow us to automatically assign this shop directly to you?"

"If this shop is assigned to you, you will receive an email confirmation when the next phase of shops are released for shopping. When you receive your confirmation, if you will not be able to conduct the shop or the dates do not work with your schedule, please log onto the Shopper Portal within 24 hours to cancel or reschedule. Do you agree to these terms?"

They automatically appear at the end of any relatively-new-to-MFI shops. Their hardware they have been doing for a few months and the questions still remain. I think the important question is the one about whether you had any difficulties with the shop/found anything unclear. That is a DIYDDIYD question. To admit issues could have your shop scrutinized closely I suspect, to tell them their instructions were unclear might encourage them to improve the shop for future shoppers but could be interpreted as being an idiot shopper.

This one did not have any questions about if you had difficulties...The only one I saw that on was a pool store phone call that was a ridiculous 20 minutes on the phone and another 10 to input for the majestic $2 it paid. Would you do this shop again? NO! :-)

Ok. Then they may have different feedback questions on different shops.

I had that on a new form for a cell shop I had done for them in the past - the new form is easier than the old one was. My son, who also shops for MF, gets them on the bottom of almost all his. He likes the electronics and the mall clothes shops that want someone under 30 - and since those shops seem to linger on their board for a long time before being accepted, while the more popular shops are grabbed up pretty fast, I'm thinking he is relatively (I saw relatively because Austin is heavy on shoppers) rare in this area - male, single, under 25. ---- I'm thinking of moving to San Antonio just for the shops - there seem to be a lot fewer shoppers there .... but it would be too long a commute for my day job. Oh, well....

I've seen these at the end of several different types of shops. They ask if you enjoyed this shop and if you would do this shop again. Some even ask if you agree to have them assign this future shop to you automatically and then you have an option to either accept or decline. Although I've answered a few of them as yes, I've never had anything assigned to me.

Oooh yes! That happened to me! And I WAS automatically assinged a shop, I don't remember what it was, possibly a cell phone shop? I had to decline it due to a scheduling conflict, which made them mad at me (so what else is new?).

That's why I said "no" to that auto assign thing. I can picture it now, they'll schedule it for the first day of classes, right during my teaching schedule with no other hours, and then when I cancel they'll hold it against me and deactivate. They are just impersonal enough that it could happen. I only assign shops to myself there right ahead of when I am doing them...
