Which MSC is doing these male-oriented bar shops?

You know the ones Al Bundy used to talk about so much where the girls wear the cute little owls on their shirts?

I did some about four years ago but I don't remember who the MSC was then or if it's even the same one now, which seems highly unlikely.

Naming the MSC would be an ICA violation, because you've essentially named the client. But I'd be shocked if you aren't already signed up with them; it's one of the big national MSCs.
I did one of these Hooters shops over the summer. I can't name the msc, but it's one of the large ones.
That's why I didn't name the restaurant so that providing the MSC would not be in violation. Thank you very much, people, for the reveal! (By the way, that's me being facetious, in case you didn't get it.)

You had already revealed the client with your description.

Tanmanlovespool...actually, you revealed the client in your description. Had you said something along the lines of "women in tee shirts one size too small and short shorts", then you might have been able to get away with it.

It's just like the person who put the thread header "Does anyone do [Name of MSC] Scenario C?" That thread should have been immediately locked as the MSC was named and "Scenario C" identifies the client.

I think everyone with half of a brain cell pretty much figured out you were describing Hooters. smiling smiley
To be fair, most descriptions of clients here are exactly that obvious. Everyone knows what you mean when you say "arches" shops. It's really a question of whether or not that thin layer of obscurity is enough to not violate ICA's or the forum rules.

I think it's a few different MSCs doing these, but am mostly surprised that you have done them before and have no way to figure out who you worked for.

Don't you have emails or payment records you can reference? If I just type "Hooters" into the search window of my email application, I see a request from a scheduler earlier this month for these shops.
Search your emails or the Job Board here for "Sports Bar shops"

Measure Customer Performance does both male and female strip clubs in CT and adult bookstores in NYC and Brooklyn.

No ICA violation above, no clients were named, or was the original posting actually referring to the non topless girl server place??????
He was referring to the place where the servers wear shirts made for toddlers, which emphasizes their breasts but also their gut, paint/tan their faces to look like Oompa Loompas, and have hatchet faces. Generally speaking.

On a side note, I like their wings.

It's disturbing to picture toddlers in those shirts. I'm pretty sure they were designed for adults.

This whole conversation is setting off my Oompa Loompa fetish, however, so we should probably get back on the topic of figuring out the best way to know which MSC may have the shops.
Oompa loompas indeed. I have never seen one in a strip club. I thought the OP was asking about them.

Happily shopping Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut
I don't know about you but I generally don't keep four years worth of emails on my computer assuming the assignment notification was even done by Email.

See...not everyone got my description to mean the client I was hinting about. Geez, I didn't know that I needed to be completely cryptic when providing hints as to the client's identity. Not everyone on this board has been mystery shopping for 10 or more years like many of the responders to my post.

Watch the sarcasm, BigBird! Several of my friends work at Hooters, thanks in part to my encouragement. It's a great place for young ladies, especially model types, to network. Both of my friends are divorced and have mouths to feed and good jobs in rural GA are hard to find. And no, I don't go there for the food. LOL.

Maybe your Hooters is of a higher caliber than the ones I've frequented. The ones I used to shop, their clothes were so tight, their shirts had stretchmarks. And I wasn't exaggerating with the Oompa Loompa reference.

I don't go there anymore because it depresses me to frequent an establishment where women objectify themselves for pocket change.


Why not ask your friends who shops them? I'm sure they have copies of reports.

This wouldn't have been an IC violation in the beginning because the poster did not name the client. Now that the client has been named, I can only suggest that you rely on your own resources.
It still would have been a violation. I've never even been to a Hooters and knew who he was talking about. As to the mystery shopping for 10 years, guess what, people mention clients all the time and I don't have a clue who shops them. If it is of interest to me I do a little research. I don't ask forum members to violate the guidelines or their ICAs. There is no reason not to keep emails, they don't take up any space. Another option is to search your own spreadsheet which should have the client name and the MSC. It's also allowed to ask if they are with the same one or have changed.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Is it acceptable to say "They are with the same MSC who shops (general description of another client).

------------------------------------------------

I think that, if you have to ask if it's acceptable, you probably already know that it isn't.

Jacob has set so few rules on this forum that I see no reason why we can't obey the big one: "Do not reveal the clients of mystery shopping companies." So a thread can either reference a client [Joe's Pool Hall], or an MSC [Pat Sajak MSC], but not both.

That would be a thread referencing two clients, both shopped by the same MSC, who is not named.

I was hoping that mentioning another client might jog his memory as to the MSC.

I asked if it was acceptable because I did not know whether it was or not.

My apologies, I misunderstood your intent. I don't see a problem mentioning another client of the MSC.
