90 day rotation - extended to any other MSC visits

May 13, 2016 10:32PM
Took an IPSOS cell phone shop and this was in the guidelines:

" If you have shopped your assigned retail location for IPSOS or any other mystery shop firm within the past 3 months, you are not eligible to shop the same location. "

Would be nice if this would be in the information before I applied for the shop. (Fortunately, I have not shopped this location for several years)

You are absolutely right it should be published prior to taking the shop. On the other hand, a smart mystery shopper will enforce their own rotations at locations where it would not be natural to be shopping for the same item too soonwinking smiley

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

Except that the statement as quoted doesn't specify that you've shopped the location only for the specific item that you're shopping for this time (cell phones). It could be a big box store, electronics store, or something similar that even a non-mystery shopper might easily visit more than once a month.
