Raman Noodles and Mac and Cheese is a “unpleasant analogy” identifying those people who are starving and being taken advantage of by mystery shopping companies. Someone takes those jobs because of their desperate situation and makes just enough money to buy Raman Noodles and Mac and Cheese.
If you ever went to college or if you are a senior who thought they had retirement secure until life happened to them you would get the analogy between Raman Noodles and Mac and Cheese and those people who are forced to take shops so they can avoid starvation when there is more month than money at the end of the month
Those who are affected by circumstances know “Mac and Cheese and Raman Noodles” very well.
If I offended you, know that I am trying to make mystery shopping companiues aware of the danger of offering “Mac and Cheese and Raman Noodles” compensation.
“Mac and Cheese and Raman Noodles” is a message to mystery shopping companies. They must offer adequate pay at least equal to minimum wages or the government will offer regulations that will attempt to protect those people who are not entrepreneurial and can not figure out they are working for $2 an hour or taking money out of their pockets to perform shops. .
Obviously you are like me if you question “Mac and Cheese and Raman Noodles”. You are comfortable and take shops when you feel like it to have something to do until your friends can come out and play on weekends.
Although Mystery shopping is a hobby I take it very seriously as businesses can fail if the companies do not get the input. I make the observations and only give opinions when asked.
Businesses need to have mystery shoppers but they must compensate them as the valuable asset that they are. " Free Enterprise" does not mean that companies can get services for free or next to nothing.
(As I step off my soap box and give the forum back to you). Sorry!
