Who does the McDonalds shops which

Hey Tomecia, I think you are try to ask who does McDonald use to conduct shops? I would like to know that too.

More than one MSC have McDs as a client. Please read forum rules and you will see that we can not and will not tell you.

Welcome to the forum, Tomecia and SOLDBYAPRIL. For the best variety of mystery shopping assignments in your area, it's recommended that you sign up with at least 50-100 mystery shopping companies. There's a great list of 200 companies, the blue link at the bottom of the page, Official List of Mystery Shopping Companies. As gigishopper commented, McDonald's is shopped by multiple mystery shopping companies. All the companies that shop McDonald's are on the official company list.

Signing up with companies is time-consuming but it will pay off in the end. Think of it as an investment in the business you are starting. Being a mystery shopper is actually starting your own small business and working as an independent contractor for multiple mystery shopping companies.

Good luck and happy shopping!

Also, it is possible that you sign up with one of the companies that do shop McDonalds already. Since this is the end of the month, there isn't much available (December shops are usually all taken by now.) Be patient and if you have gotten one of the right companies, you will start to see the January shops.

We cannot tell the clients of MSCs. I am sure you can find out who through searches and signing up in various <hint redacted>. If I were to post the company, the moderators on these boards would <hint redacted> me to take it down.

And the mods will gladly fix your post if you won't do it on your own.



Moderator note: This was more than just a 'hint', it was pretty much right out there. While perhaps not an outright violation of the ICA, it comes pretty darned close. Perhaps you're not even signed with that MSC, just know that client -- in that case, it's a violation of the spirit, if not the 'letter', of the forum rule to not reveal MSC/client. Please be a little more prudent in the future. Thank you!

You are in Violation, FC.

Huh, for a typo?

(heart)

Not for a typo. The not so subtle hints are still a huge violation and not all that funny either. Whether a member wants to take their contracts seriously is their own business. Disregarding the guidelines of the forum is rude and disrespectful.

The cute-sy play on words is not funny and is insulting, both the the forum and to forum members.

But dude, I just want some free McDonalds. I already have a job.

You MUST link below and sign up for many companies you have no interest in serving. And you MUST NEVER ask where to find a shop you actually want to do. It endangers the profits made by this forum.

Ok, then let me give them a hint. We all started at some point, and most of us knew WHAT we were shopping before we signed up for that first shop.

NIEN, DAS IST EIN BAD KITTY

But the MSC wants new shoppers, they even ask me for referrals!

VERBOTEN! The list hags have spoken.

What profits might you be referring to, Michael? Last time I checked, this was a free forum.

The companies do often ask for referrals. They do not, however, ask us to violate our IC agreement.

I look at it like this, ICA aside...

I work my buns off to make a living for my family. I have also done hours and hours of research finding out who shops who. If I would randomly give up that information I am literally taking money and food out of my kids' mouths. There are at least 4 of you here (that I know of) that work in my region. Why in the world would I tell people here who shops who? Not only that, but also have my favorite shops. McDonald's is not one of them, but one day, one month that could be the only thing that is coming up on my boards, so I need that money and maybe a free hamburger minus one bite to feed my kids.

If I can work hours at learning how to MS, who MSes who, and where to go..then so can you. I had no one tell me who to sign up with. I signed up with each company on my own. I learned that MSing even really existed from a couponing blog.
I found this forum making sure one MS company that had a 1980's looking website wasn't a scam. From there, I have asked many questions, learned many things, but more so taken forum rules and ICA obligations to heart...why???? Because I want to continue to MS and be able to access this forum for the wealth of information that it offers, but only takes a little elbow grease to find it. Others can find it too...it just needs to be dug for!

Micheal C. You peg my FOS Alarm every time you post. Forums profits are from banner ads.

Michael C - please consider that members police activity for the sake of the business. Most of us want to be considered professionals, and want to encourage a standard that is respected.

I’m finding this a rather interesting response to FC’s transgression/typo, since there have been numerous posts by someone, who, In My Thinking--a poster, BTW, I adore--has posted broader hints than FC’s with no reprimands and now, all of a sudden, people feel disrespected?

(heart)

Who are you trying to kid with this "Typo" stuff?

Perhaps MichaelC will start his own forum and then we can all make snide comments, misleading statements, and give halfassed advice. He will, of course, list all MSC with all their clients and the states and cities there is available work in. Maybe he will even list what the fees are and how to get around the MSC requirements for shops with little cheats, tips and shortcuts for the reports.
Genug! Gehen sieweg!

Stilllearning, I have found this to be a very hypocritical board at times. I was called "a bad shopper" when I shopped another branch of the same bank the next day and ended up with the same rep from another branch from the day before. However, I see people post all the time about getting "outed" and nobody says boo to them. Even to go as far as the employees yelling out "mystery shopper" while they were there.

The "friends" among the board are okay with them doing these things, but not others. I have learned many helpful things from this board over the months and continue to enjoy some of the fun posts, but it does get old when people have a "holier than thou" attitude because they have done this for years and act like they know everything there is to know about mystery shopping.

Kathee70<<<< opens the door to this thread, hears the discussion, quietly closes the door and moves on.....

Still learning and BearClaw, you are mistakenly assuming that we read each and every thread along with every single post on that thread. So no, it is not hypocrisy if one does not see the offending post. Posts are also reported for violations with no public comment on the board.

No, I am not assuming anything. I am talking about the people who have commented on more than one post specific to the same thing with completely different responses. If that does not apply to you, please disregard.

Wow. Someone needs to do a pharmacy shop and get some Ex-Lax. We got some constipated folks on here today. Geez. Report it. Have it moderated. Move on already!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled shop certification video.

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another

"First of all, we must internalize the "flatulation" of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the "Indianisian" proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the "redundance" of my quote, unquote "intestinal tract", you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the "Afro-disiatic" symptoms which now perpetrates the jheri curis activation." ----"Homey the Clown"

In other words, Let's all try to move on..

I'm all for peace on earth. To that end, sometimes calling a spade a spade, is mandated.

I agree.

SecretAgentMom, your candor is refreshing.

As much as I want to keep up with all the hate, I just don't have time. Maybe I'll take Mert's advice and start a new thread.
