Yesterday was a low point...lol. I did a shop (not for ISS) on the wrong day. Its at this sub-par burger joint. I did it on the 19th...scheduled for the 20th. So I'm going to go eat the sub-par burger again in a few minutes.


About 2 months ago..


There was a shop for a gas station...Lets call it Square J. But there is also this other seedy gas station across the street. The seedy station gets shopped continuously for a different third company. Anyway, the Square J gets a shop...but in my mind, all I can think is that I need to go visit this seedy gas station. So I shopped...not only the wrong station but the wrong chain all together.

I did a shop at a gas station recently and saw a drug deal, a car accident, and was offered "protection". Don't mind doing this shops during the day I just need to look at my map before I go :P

Suddenly, my having to eat Sonic again isn't such a bad deal.

Sorry to hear Carl. I think that has happened to all of us.

I'm so paranoid about doing these exact same things. I triple check addresses, especially when I'm shopping multiple locations in the same day or with the same name and I STILL don't always trust myself that I'm at the right one when I arrive. I'm sorry it happened to you but I've gotta say, I'm relived that its not just an unfounded paranoia in my mind and it does happen.

Same thing kind of happened to me. Gas station looked sketchy so just left and did not complete the shop. I let my scheduler know.

Relieved to know that I’m not the only one this has happened to! I was assigned to a pizza place near my job; nice neighborhood. It’s part of a local chain, and I’ve enjoyed meals at their other locations.


When I walked in, everything from the stained ceiling tiles and dust-covered fan blades down to the uneven concrete floor was filthy. I saw an employee counting money for the cash register before moving over to prepare food without washing his hands.


I pretended to have forgotten my wallet and left. Messaged my scheduler immediately. Yikes!
