I shopped Lowes today. I would love to shop Carvel!

I did a Costco, had to rate three of the people hawking food there. Paid only $12, but the form was pretty easy.

Was that for Costco or for the merchandising company that hires those folks? I know somebody who knows somebody who was at Costco today doing a "Brand Ambassador" gig. The only way that I found out that she was there is that I called our mutual friend to see what he was doing after work and he was headed to meet her. I've only met her a few times, but it would be very weird running into her on a shop. She does all sorts of odd jobs, which I generally only hear about secondhand, so I never know what she'll be up to next.

Has anyone shopped Walmart?

River Song I assume that you were shopping an adult store named Adam & Eve based on the context here. What I am wondering is how you checked out the adult toy that was worth $150. Actually maybe I don't want to know, but was the job requirement to check out one of these "toys" and did you need to involve the salesperson with the check out? Maybe some people would take this job with no reimbursement....some would even pay to do this job.

If you want to see what I was fondling:

The III model. The salespeople were both female, and I don't go that way, but they did have the remote part of the time! ;-)

There was an article about adult boutiques in the Mystery Shopper Magazine: [www.mysteryshoppermagazine.com]

Anyone has seen L'Occitaine, or Bruegger's bagels lately?

I've done L'Occitaine but I'm not in the US.

I'd like to shop Toys R Us, Vera Bradley, Under Armour and Target.

Toys R Us is shopped in Europe.

Vera Bradley is shopped but I do not think monthly. It is purchase with return a different day. Now that they are being made in China you can find them everywhere. Plus, at the outlets, they have some incredible sales at least once a month.

@Keppi, does L'Occitaine shopped by a USA based company and do you see them in their USA site? What country are you in?

I would love to see Starbucks, Red Robin and Hallmark shopped! Oh by the way, Olive Garden is shopped, just not very frequently!

KOA Campgrounds and state parks please!

couponmoseley, Red Robin is shopped, Starbucks used to be. I haven't seen it in quite awhile, but I "think" one of the apps has shops for them. I am not a big fan, so have never really looked into it. I have never seen Hallmark personally.

Wished Cinemark Theaters were shopped....

I know Chuck E Cheese is shopped but I still can't find it....

We are having the baby's 6th birthday there and I am combing through the lists that I have but I can't find it... Blah!!!!

I've seen Hallmark shops recently here in the Chicago area but its not the best of paying jobs....

Would love to see more of the 2 & 3 star hotel shops....Closer Look has a few, and another company does a hotel shop with one of the local casinos....and yet another company (same one as the Hallmark shops) does a circuit with 2 hotels in downtown Chicago (think $$$) and I've also seen the local Hard Rock Hotel shopped too.

I'd like to see our local playhouses and other concert venues get shopped as well as any of the local sports teams (one of our baseball teams gets shopped but its the one where you have to put a security deposit and you have to answer a lot of questions).

Oh yea airline shops here too....and shops in a resort area (not necessairly Disney....am thinking resort areas in the Midwest like in Wisconsin).

The company that shops them is active in the US but I can't access the US job board.

Pick up Stix
Pizza Hut
Amazon

I have recently fell in love with Sephora.. Would love if it was shopper in Canada which they probably are and I don't know the company.. Same with IKEA. I love everything Swedish.

So this goes back to the post I wrote about getting stuck looking at the same companies over and over again each month. I have found that I am signed with the MSC that shops Chucky but it is in a folder that I only check so often.

*sigh* right under my nose.... another lesson learned....
