Market Force is Ranked #21 on Honomichl List -- Not #1

d, won't matter if it's his real name or not if that payment info was correct. I expect his identity is no secret to the MSCs anyway. I think they chat.

Now I know I'm not quite sane and I'm looking forward to being psychoanalyzed by Bill's buddy Shopping Bee and can't wait to see what she/he makes of me and my alter ego Barbara. We are so far not appreciative of her psychiatric abilities but hey that just us, or me, whatever.

Maybe you will be lucky enough to get a special recipe like I did. Yummy in my tummy!
I would actually find it to be an interesting discussion if it wasn't all about personal vendettas. But then I'm an American and I'm male and you know we're all obsessed with the size of things.

Oh dear me, our thread has been seriously moderated (thank you). It appears we tiffed until we got attention and now we need to be on best behavior. I'm going to straighten up right now and so is Barbara. Barb, you cut that out right now.

OK, now. That's twice in one morning that this thread has made coffee come out my nose!
First Sunny's perfectly timed happy post, and now MD's inner dialog made public.
And all this is free?

Though maybe not the largest.
MDN, what you know fits in a thimble. Let's match up degrees, I guarantee you come up short.
Oh ShoppingGnat. Now you've gone and pissed me off.
MDN is a spectacular person and I would bet my life savings that she's significantly more intelligent than you.

And even if she were dumbest person on the planet she's pretty awesome and you suck at life.

Well, Bee, you got me there because I didn't get past fourth grade. Daddy always said too much education made a girl uppity and troublesome. See there, Daddy was exactly right.

"How to Kill a Bee

It's important to learn to identify the different types of flying pests before you start swatting away. Honeybees shouldn't be killed, but wasps can be painful and dangerous. Whatever pest has invaded your space, however, you can learn to approach the stinger properly and get it away from you. Learn to relocate bees safely and kill wasps, yellow-jackets, and other nasty pests."

I think it is time to call Orkin. We are not dealing with a honeybee here!
Hello and good morning Bill. I'm delighted for everyone making the big bucks and congratulations on being the top mystery shopper in the USA. I always wondered who was doing the very best and now we all know because you've told us.

What I'm really curious about is how you know you're the top earner. Will you please post the list of the top ten earners.

Would it possibly look like this:

1. Bill - One Kazillion $$$ Dollars a month shopping the Post Office in the boonies.

2 thru 10: Everybody else - Peanuts, while standing in the welfare line.

Does that sum up your version of the business?

"Of course the clerks all remembered you well and commented on the last shopper, who barely spent 5 minutes at the location zipping through the photos before zipping away."

While it's always hard to pick the most ridiculous comment out of a plethora of ridiculous comments, this one is by and far the winner. If Mary has no other virtues as far as you are concerned, she has integrity. She has also plainly stated that at her age there is no "zipping" through anything, LOL!

Pot meet kettle. You have spent the last few days being disrespectful. So much so, your signature line contains a permanent reminder.

All you reported to MSCs about other shoppers was hearsay. Most gas station employees love to tell how a previous shopper allegedly didn't do their job. The reality is, you weren't there either and the cashier probably wasn't there the last time the station was audited. The allegations could just have easily been about an auditor six audits ago, but since that was the last one the particular cashier saw, it becomes the last auditor. Reporting hearsay does nothing to further your reputation.

Bill, I do some work in West Texas but Plainview is 288.87 miles one way from my house so guess how often I drive out for a shop or two. Sorry, you're wrong again, this time about where in West Texas I work. You're working west of my territory, and again you don't know squat about what you're talking about.

Compared to you, I don't make beans doing this. I'm just way down there in the bogs slogging out some lil ol bitty low paying shops that don't add up to anything. It's a miracle I keep on doing this but my mind is not clear (there's that Alzheimer's kicking in again). Hope you'll overlook my failure at the business. I've been doing it a few years now but I'm too dumb to know I can't do this and make it work. I brought in $63.42 last month, though. Not bad, huh? That's near my record month so far and I'm hoping to hit $72.00 this month if I keep pushing.

What impresses me is your blazing success. You hang in there, Bill. You keep racking up those huge pay checks, way to go, AttaBoy and go get'em. I'm impressed with the way you present yourself, yes I am.

And I appreciate all the great advice you pass on to newcomers about not shopping for MF after you made $2500.00 a check working for them. What's that about, Bill? You made the big bucks and you don't want anybody else to make the big bucks? You messed up a good thing somehow and now you want to make sure they can't get shoppers? Too bad, won't work, don't care if you give it a rest or not. Compared to MF you and I don't make a ripple and never will.

I don't work for them much myself as I'm pretty concentrated on a few programs I shop consistently and I don't break my day with food shops that have a window that might not work for me. That said, I certainly recognize that MF is a company a newcomer should give a try. They are friendly to new shoppers and work well to help them develop. They have lots of work available on a national basis. If you cared anything about other shoppers, it looks to me like you would be encouraging the newcomers to give MF a try, but hey that's just me and my opinion about how things ought to be.

I enjoy our little conversations immensely and even more since you've toggled me so of course you're not reading my posts. That makes yours even more interesting and of course leaves all the possibilities open that I can say anything in the world and know I won't hurt your feelings because you're not reading my posts any more. I wish I could let you know that I would never toggle you because your posts are such a hoot and you're a laugh and a half.

What I really regret is that I'm not able to get farther west and shop along with you out there and maybe meet up for coffee or whatever. Right now I'm working north, east, and south of my base and I've got a real good deal going on several programs I'm working. I'm taking all the shops I can get at $2.00 each and it's really adding up. I don't mind telling you, Bill, that my bank account is starting to look real impressive and if you aren't able to replace that work you lost at MF you let me know and I'll be more than tickled pink and green to loan you $10.00 to tide you over.

As to those ten minute shops, don't I wish. It takes me just about that long to get out of the car. I've got something else going right now that may work out real well for me but I'm not sure. My brother gave me a Safari type vest he picked up at a garage sale and it's got a bunch of pockets and it might work out. The only problem is when I get it on and get everything in it, it gets hung up in the car and I have a hard time fastening my seat belt and when I get where I'm going the vest is ballooned out over everything and I can't find the belt to unbuckle it. The vest is way too big but hey it was free and when you're working for $2.00 a shop you take anything you can get.

I hate like the dickens you don't get to read my posts anymore but I just love talking to you anyway. You know, or maybe you don't know, that when a person gets older it's not necessary to have another party to the conversation. So that's what I got going with you, Bill, a one way conversation and this is the best conversation I've had in a while.

You keep'em coming because I assure you I just appreciate the dickens out of your work on the forum.

I hope you'll excuse all the typos etc in this post but I'm in a hurry here as I have three more $2.00 shops to report and I got to keep that relationship with the MSC on the up and up. Don't want to mess up and lose that pay check, nosiree. Good jobs are hard to replace. Til later Bill, you take care now, I'm thinking of you.

I'm snorting from laughing so hard.

It's amazing how short this thread gets with all of these sprinkled throughout, "Message Hidden -- Click To Show Message."

I would have no idea what you did that was so bad it warranted a forum administrator to put the following as your signature line, "Please be respectful of all forum members, even if you disagree with them. -- The Admin." It strikes me your previous signature must have been disrespectful or the administrator would have said, "Please don't curse," or "Please don't talk about beating puppies."
