I did Arby's today, will be doing 2 gun store shops later this week. I am really envious of you all shopping BJ's Brewhouse and Cracker Barrel. I haven't hit on signing up for the right MSC yet, I suppose!

Casino shops and apartment shops are my favorite. I go for gas and to bank shops mostly.

What mystery shop company does Torcey Tacos?

I think this is an ideal opportunity for the retired. if you travel you can shop any where with a zip code for the most part. I love doing Casino , movies and just about anything I am interested in. A little burnt out on grocery shops for now. I get my oil changed for free+ great stuff and exciting for me.

Three's a charm....

I did a new fish restaurant Friday. Next up will be a mid range restaurant. I have to fit a Chipotle in somewhere this week or next too. Been really busy at my regular job so I did not schedule much this month.

It is against forum rules to reveal company's clients.

Never mind...

I did 2 gas stations on Thursday

My most recent was at Olive Garden. It went well. However initially I accepted the shop and then saw 69 pages of info on the guidelines. Whew I was relieved to see they had added the menu as part of the 69 pages. It's a good shop. I've done the theater patron counts also and it's exhausting just changing clothes and all day tied up at the theater. Again if you have time it's a great shop.

My last shop was a wonderful cafe shop and then a grocery store shop.

It's been 3 weeks since I've mystery shopped, and that was at Sam' and WallyWorld for an alcohol audit. Done some Snap audits nearby, and next up is a fast food drive thru for fun.

I find myself being pickier, shooting for $100 to go to work, unless I'm grabbing a bite. Tired of low ball shops and long reports...bonus me people!

Today I did an onsite business inspection, a gas station mystery shop, and 5 KFC lemonade shops. Tomorrow I do 6 more KFC's, a gas station, and if I can squeeze them in, a grocery store and a HP ink/toner audit. For the rest of the week I have 5 nighttime gas station audits, 3 Krogers, an Aldi, a Save-a-Lot, Stevie B's pizza, and a 5 Guys. I'm still looking to fill in some gaps, so who knows what else.

Busy, busy, busy!!!

Somebody asked about the KFC lemonade jobs. Getting the photos is very simple. Do be careful, though...the instructions might be different for different States. That messed up the first one for me since I cover 3 States.

The most recent assignment combined a mystery purchase and a revealed photo shop at a Fast Food restaurant. My next one is an at home health insurance interview.

Today I did 4 Circle K shops with the lottery ticket purchase. I also did a FedEx "pack and ship" scenario shop, and a retail (NOT food) shop for ACL that pays $25.00 if all goes well! It was inquiry only with no purchase required (first ACL shop I've done since 2005...that's 11 years!!) I WAS going to do my USPS shop today, until I realized that it's only been 16 days since my last one at this same location instead of the required 18 days for the regular box scenario. So I'll do that one on Thursday instead. Also have another 7 Circle K/lottery ticket shops to do this week, along with a Home Depot appliance inquiry shop. For the rest of the month, I've still got 3 grocery shops, a Goodwill donation-only shop, and possibly a Medicare formal event shop, if my app is approved. I also only do this part-time, but am able to pick the shops I want.

ETA: Oh, one of the most unusual shops I've done this month was last week. Went to JC Penney, bought some mattress & pillow covers/protectors, shipped them to someone the Client wanted them shipped to from nearby UPS shop with Client provided label. Shop was approved the next day....reimbursement will be received this week for the items....PLUS the pay is $35.00, although that will take a few more weeks to receive. Easy-peasy and fun! Well worth the time and drive!

Today I did 1 Sam's Club merchandising assignment, 2 post office shops, 2 GNC shops, 1 Sbarro shop, 1 BJs shop, a Dick's Sporting Goods shop, and a Best Buy shop. I just got finished with reports.

Today I did 3 garage audits, 1 restaurant and I bought gas for my car. The rest of the week will be pizza, more revealed garage audits and restaurants and overnight hotel with integrity restaurants and coffee shops in and around the hotel.
I am still looking for new challenges :-)
Happy shopping everyone.

Are you for real? I can't imagine what your reports are like. All my shop reports have multiple questions to be answered, narratives with word counts and photo uploads. Forget about the 30 minutes they say it will take to complete the report. In some instances it can take me an hour or more.

Today I did two phone calls - one to inquire about a loan, the other to inquire about a rent-to-buy appliance. This evening, I did a photo audit at Office Depot and then sandwich shop. I've got an oil-change scheduled, a bank shop, a gas station shop and more for the week.

BWW and USPS were the most recent. I pick up assignments while traveling, so they can vary depending on location. Next will be a hotel, BWW, USPS, and a spa.

Are you talking to me aspar? I have been a mystery shopper since 1998 and still love it. I must be doing something right because schedulers phone or text me because they have shops to be done now and wave the rotation so i can do them. Even give me bonuses without having to ask for them.

The rest of this week I have 2 more Sbarro shops, 6 more GNC shops, 1 more Best Buy shop, 2 more post office shops, 1 KFC audit, 2 four-hour demos, and 8 assignments to cut the cord on Samsung display washers.

Sorry. My smart remark was for JASFLALMT.
Have you noticed the time of my post? I should be in the Atlantic ocean near the Azores posting to this forum.

bunch off sprint cell shops and T-Mobile shops today with a Carhartt retail shop. taking tomorrow off.

I got about 400 phone shops scheduled for the rest the month and I work full time. Plus all my in person shops at night and weekends.

Well, the post office shops I reported using the app so it was fast and easy. The Best Buy thing took 5 minutes (no associate interaction, just took photos of a display) and I reported that on the MSCs website using my phone as well, no narrative. The Dick's Sporting Goods was quick and easy with short narrative. The Sbarro and GNCs were a little bit longer as I had to write some narrative, but nothing was too bad. And, most of the shops were within two miles of each other. One GNC and Sbarro were in the same mall about 40 yards away from each other. It was a quick and easy route, really. I was never further than 14 miles from home.
