If you could request a store to be shopped what would it be?

I was shopping in Barnes and Noble since I lost my collection of 200 books. I kept wishing that it was a purchase shop. I have gotten spoiled by msc and reimbursments.

Just lost trying to find a fire pit in a concrete jungle wishing it was a wooded glen...

if it wasn't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all

Barnes & Noble is shopped here.

Mine would be Smithfield's BBQ.

The Melting Pot. Mmmmmmm Cheeeeeese! Too expensive, so I never eat there. I would definitely do this for reimbursement only! The four course meal for two can easily push $75-$100.

Could I have a receipt please?

I just wish more of the national chains were shopped in my area. I feel I live in a no shop bubble.

I see national chains mentioned on this list which are 10 minutes from my home and when I do some research I see these chains shopped in areas 3 hours away, but not my area. Yes, I am registered with about every mystery shop company on the list, etc. I even visit Jobslinger, MSPA, and I am registered with those companies that offer the scheduling services for MS companies - just to find where I am missing it all! But, I am not missing anything. Just do not live in a great MS area.

WalMart (not a vendor within WalMart but the actual store). The company has gotten so big that there are stores which are in truly bad shape. When i went to a WalMart in Arkansas (where their corporate offices are), wow, what a difference! As neat and clean as a Target, with excellent customer service. But the ones I've been to up and down the east coast are a mess, and forget about customer service at the providence location.

Yes - I first shopped WalMart in 1983 when we moved to Huntsville, AL. There certainly is a difference by location. Living in Huntsville, we were 10 minutes from Tennessee, and I used to drive to a WalMart in that border town between Alabama/Tennessee - what a wonderful store. In other locations it is not so wonderful. Although - I do still find WalMart, even at its worst, to be better than KMart (the store I find the all-time winner of the Worst Ever! award) and many of the other discount department stores. It's too bad the same standards are not implemented everywhere for the WalMart stores.

Barnes & Noble is shopped in my area also. Haven't see any new assignments since early in the summer though.

Shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado. 33 year old male and willing to travel!

Amen to that. I used to live in Maryland. Those stores were filthy.

I would never buy anything there that couldn't go straight into the washing machine or dishwasher because I was afraid of the bugs you'd see all over. Anything I purchased there I put straight into a sealed bag and then put it straight into the washer or dishwasher when I got home. Certainly would never buy food there.

Then I moved back to the west coast. What a difference.

However, their claims about lowest price are baloney out here.
