Bad experience with Coyle

February 22, 2024 07:59PM
If you were responding to me, I referenced Coyle Shops, not your experience with Coyle. Why are you continuing to apply for shops and begging for their forgiveness? If you feel this way, my advice is to move on.

I wouldn't say I like my experiences with Coyle, even before this. As others have stated, the narratives are ridiculous. They often come back and ask for more detail WEEKS after the shop was done, and it's usually something that wasn't in the guidelines, and I no longer remember 2 weeks later because I didn't write it down (because it wasn't in the guidelines!!!! Who's on first!!!)[/quote]

MADETOSHOP inquired of me, 11 days ago, if I had ever completed an assignment for Coyle. As I have zero interest in that company, I have not followed this thread. My answer is NO.

16 1/2 yrs. ago, I decided, after at least two hrs. on a report, that fine dining was not for me. A few mos. later, I formulated the plan that turned my failure as a shopper into success. That is why I am not negatively critical of Coyle. Their work simply does not fit into any of the three conditions I established for me to be SHOPPERBOB.

A quick closing point: Any person who, being aware a rejection has the ability to render them at a substantial loss into four figures, should cautiously apply for these jobs. As I am a proponent of adages, the one that fits this situation deals with the man being bitten by the recovering snake. He asked why? The reptile replied, "You knew what I was when you picked me up.

Though @shopperbob and I have chosen different paths for the type of work we do, I always have respect for his logic and his ability to make MSing profitable.

Regarding the adage; I have been handling that snake for over 20 years and while I know it may eventually bite me, we have formed a symbiotic relationship where it refrains from biting me, even though it can be nasty to others. I still handle it with caution...but I am a sucker for a "free" meal.

Hello Shopperbob!

Thank you so much for responding as I was wondering what your thoughts were had you done so in the past.
