possible glitch with goal awards

Since I upgraded to the on call maid and gardening services I have not seen a spot or a weed. So I am unable to complete the goals for: Sir spot-a-lot & Weed obliterator. I was able to complete the perfect sock storm because there are always an abundance of socks to be picked up. Is this just me are has any one else having this problem? I am having to the same problem with the game on my i phone and i pad.

The maid and gardener are there for players who would rather not take the time to clean up the house and the yard. If you have hired the maid and gardener, you'll have to look for wrappers, weeds, etc. as soon as you open the game in order to get to them before the hired help does. If that doesn't give you enough weeds and wrappers, you can fire the maid and gardener if you like.

Here is what it says about them in the game's store:
