That's not really a weird assignment. It's an integrity shop, essentially, and those are taken very seriously. For good reason, too. They need to make as sure as they can that important tests are being passed legitimately and that cheating does not occur. Good for you for taking that assignment.
It would feel weird for me, too. I think the importance of this shop being performed outweighs all of the weirdness, though. It would feel weirder than it was to me, if that makes any sense. They're not asking you to do anything wrong, but they're trying to make it look like it. That's acting, though. It takes a brave shopper to really commit to that job. Nobody likes feeling evaluated from a moral standpoint, which can and most likely will happen on that shop. I can understand the nervousness.@retrodaddy wrote:

Well, most of my shops have been pretty pedestrian and cheating even in a pretend scenario was unexpectedly nerve-racking, so it was weird / strange for me.

Let's just say among other things I was very surprised at both how enthusiastic and how knowledgeable they were about things that were made to go places that aren't made to have things go there.

I was shopping of of those gas stations and while taking photos I was off to one side taking the overall from a distance view and I saw someone lying in the brush alongside their parking lot. The location was right next to a busy highway off-ramp. I looked closer and it did not appear to be someone just taking a nap. I have a background in healthcare and could see that things were not right and ran like mad to the store on-site. There the manager told me "Corporate already knows about it and they said not to get involved." Well, there was NO way that I was just going to overlook it and I scurried off their property and made that phone call to 911. The manager was beyond angry that I dared disobey "corporate" but I also reminded this horse's patooty that I did NOT work for him or corporate and I was jolly well going to call this in as an emergency. My everyday persona is actually as Reverend "Cettie" and I wasn't going to overlook someone in distress.
It made the evening news that someone had died along the roadside while hitch hiking.

Steve: "Maybe the dog is okay?"
Me: "No, that dog is not okay." (I saw it dead on).
Driver: "It happens." (as he turns to look at us briefly)
Sadness.
