Is this worth it? It says up to $45 payment. It looks like you have to visit 11 departments. But I never shop there b/c I am cheap and it would be a fun and exciting adventure for me. (I don't get out much.)
I really like shopping new places but if you guys say it's not worth it then I won't do it.
BTW I did a search before I asked this question but now I think I should have maybe changed the date parameters but it is too late b/c I just finished typing this and my finger is approaching the post butto

I shop WFM every month. When I get the assignment, it is a reimbursement, for me, toward my groceries. There are a few different companies that handle these shops across the country. Depending on the MS company, the requirements and reimbursements are different. I like the store, the products and the assignment.

I have only shopped Whole Foods once, but I do not remember having to shop 11 departments. The one I did was easy. The report took me about 15 minutes. I have only seen Whole Foods with one MSC. The only reason I accepted the assignment is that it had a nice bonus attached to it.

Personally I only apply for the CS shop at WF which covers 4 areas.

I did a all department shop for Giant once and hated it.

If your doing this just for the fee, it's a long shop with a small reimbursement. I am pretty sure the survey will take longer than the shop.

I do Whole Foods about once a month. It's 3 Departments plus the cashier and bagger. Super easy, but it might be with a different MSC.

Marta, this sounds like the Whole Foods shop I did. I remember the shop and the report being really easy. I think I completed the shop in 20 minutes or so.

I would do it. I did a shop for them, but it wasn't 11 depts. First time I had been in one, and I fell in love with the store. I could spend a small fortune in there.

I've done the WF shops with 3 departments. The trick is to go in with an idea of what you are going to purchase and then stick with it. Otherwise you will end up spending more than the MSC is paying for both comp and reimb. In my case the total was $30 and I always ended up with a $45 bill. I finally exercised some self control and then tracked what I was buying. When I reached $30 I quit putting stuff in my basket.

The one in my area is the 11 departments one too. There are two versions. One version has much less departments but if I remember correctly, there are age restrictions. I guess I have to give the 11 department one a try. I love Whole Foods. Their vegan prepared pizza is heavenly, and it's actually a good deal if you buy two.

There is a Customer Service (CS) shop and a whole store shop. The whole store shop pays a little more.

As for tracking you work and what you want to buy, just use the cheat sheet (I make my own). Plus people today shop with lists on their phone, your covered and can also write out the key question(s) you need to ask.
