Reminder about "task shopping"

I'm sure someone will have talked about this somewhere and there may even be a prominent thread about it somewhere. But, I've seen so many toons with very difficult tasks recently that they don't need to get, I just had to post about it!!

When I need a new task, this is what I do ...

a) Don't take any tasks for large number of same sort of cog (example 240 Bean Counters or even just 50 Money Bags)
b) Don't take any tasks for a large number of buildings

But, if your task is to visit a particular shop in a particular street and you are asked to do a certain number of cogs (llike 25 Number Crunchers) then there's nothing you can do about that.

I've seen people with tasks for 1000 cogs in Donalds Dreamland (and that was just for a clothing ticket! OMG). I've seen people who have to defeat 400 buildings for a task and wonder why they decided to take that!!

Moral of all this is = did you know you can keep going to different HQs and shops in streets until you get offered a good task for the same reward? You might be being offered loads of buildings to get your next back pack or jellybean jar, DON'T TAKE IT!! If none of the four HQ officers in that HQ are giving you nice tasks for that reward, go to a different playground until they offer you something better for the same reward.

If you have anything to add to this, feel free!
