CORI Scheduling: A little confused here

July 28, 2010 07:48PM
I was always under the assumption that you could only schedule for a three day window starting with the earliest possible day the location could be shopped. It used to be set up where you could assign in advance if you had to wait for your reshop restriction time to be up, but that was changed awhile back.

I'm not sure how they did it, but someone scheduled half the shops in my area left for this month and already posted for next month for August 14th. There is no way they could have done that just through the page to self-assign.

Maybe the scheduler set up a route for a shopper willing to take cheap shops?

Speaking of cheap shops, I got an email telling me the video shop was at $15 and "MUST GO!" I log in and take the test...for $15 I will rent a video since it is close to home. Auwe, nope. It was $1.00. All of them on island were $1.00. How misleading.

I would think that if they were just gas stations, but they are pretty much one of every client has within a 50 mile radius.

YES! I noticed that too. The one closest to me is still at $1.00. Supposedly it has something to do with different types of shops. Some of the videos are monthly and those are raised. The quarterly are "not allowed" to be bonused right now.

Yes all of them here are $ 1.00 too. The had a disclaimer that only the July shops were bonused, the other were quarterly shops and they were still at 1.00. I looked at every one I could find and none were over 1.00.

Lisa, did they disappear from the board, or do they show as backup shops? As MrC clued us in, occasionally shops listed as backup can be scheduled.

They are just backups now. I always check the info on shops that have the B if I really want them. These even in the info box say backup.
