Salespersons with a photographic memory

It's highly unlikely that this chain would open
a store in a town as small as one where everyone
knows each other as you claim. It doesn't fit their
growth strategy and never has. Even if it is a franchise
owner and not a company owned store, they generally
wouldn't allow it. In addition, this company is not
known for siding with stores when it comes to negative
reports. In fact, they rarely if ever do so your argument
that you would be blocked from doing shops is null
and void.

You are correct you can choose to set your own parameters
on what shops you choose. However, my comments were not
really for your benefit since I know you dont listen to what people
say here, they were mainly for others reading this post so they don't
get the wrong idea from your postings.

You *don't*?! Well what the heck is wrong with you?!

Hee!

I was doing a pizza shop a while back and the cashier told me I looked like the 'secret shopper' who
gave her an award when she was working at such and such FF because she did a great job.
But of course, she said it couldn't have been me because she was wearing a different pair of
glasses and had a different hairdo. (C'est moi because I remembered her but that was more than
three years ago.) I asked, "What do you mean 'secret shopper.' She said, "You don't know?
They check what you're doing and you get a reward if you did good." I said, "Oh, so they help you
bake the pizzas?" She was annoyed with my ignorance and decided to concentrate on the cash register.

Going off topic briefly....so sorry...

Before we moved from Illinois in 2009, my husband was a assistant manager for a national sporting goods chain. Management was required to wear blue logo-colored polo shirts, which they purchased from the company. He bought five.

Since we've moved to Florida, FIVE years ago, he wears these blue shirts, practically every day that he works. Unfortunately, they are indestructible and, equally frustrating, is that he is deaf to my pleas to wear something different, "I'm sure they must think that you only have one shirt and wear it every single day!"

End of off topic...so sorry...

(heart)

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

I'm with you on this! You're out there on the front lines everyday listening to the responses of the 'shoppees', seeing the expressions on their faces and you know THEY KNOW you're full of it, but you're held hostage to a script the powers-that-be won't admit is corny. Sometimes, I feel like I did back in grade school when the teacher assigned busy work to the class when she had to be out of the room for a while: totally pointless and unproductive.

I have conducted phone shops and never was I asked if I was a shopper.

HAAAAAA!

Maybe she should become a mystery shopper!
