Best companies besides MF for fast food shops?

So as I mentioned in another thread, I got the boot from MF and am now missing all the fast food shops I used to do at lunch. Can anyone point me in the right direction for other mystery shopping companies that have fast food shops? Rather than blindly signing up for all of them I would like to target only those that would fit my needs.

Thanks!

I don't know of any that have the volume of fast food chains that MF has. A lot of fast foods are shopped regionally, so without knowing your location, it would be hard to direct you. If you identify your location, there are probably shoppers already working in that area doing those jobs. Because there is a lot of competition in mystery shopping, most of your competitors are probably not going to want to tell you their favorite because they worked hard for that information. My best advice is to sign up with as many companies as you can and then you'll find the answer to fast foods in your area and many other opportunities.

I would like to hear how you think they can legally do this?

Without complete identity theft and fraudulently using someone else's name, SS#, and address, it can't be done.

I'm sure there are people that have done it, but they have committed a felony in the process.
It's not theft if you have permission.

I'm curious why forum members would be willing to give the OP names of companies to shop for when he/she admitted to getting "terminated" from MF for three inquiries/violations in a year and a half. Three in such a short time is not a very good track record. If you knew this person in "real life", would you recommend him/her for a job?

Um, three inquiries in a year and a half and over 700 shops is bad? And an "inquiry" is not necessarily a violation, correct? So what you're saying is an inquiry on less than 1/2 of 1% of shops over an 18 month period should be cause for dismissal, is that what you're saying? I think it's been well documented here that MF has a habit of terminating their experienced shoppers over basically nothing. Don't hurt yourself falling off that high horse of yours!
And this is why MF has resorted to doing things like terminating people for logging in under the same IP address on any residential ISP. They could both be honest and good shoppers.

They have to assume that they are being gamed due to above.
Sybil, I am not recommending Billy Bob to the Dixie Pig. I'm telling Billy Bob that Dixie Pig is hiring. Not the same thing. And I'm not judging Billy Bob. Billy Bob could search the classifieds and find out on his own, but in this case I'm telling him. It's not a violation of the IC to do that. It may not be 100% in keeping with the culture of the forum, but often I stray. I've always had trouble with lines and sometimes my Crayola runs off the edge. Apologies to all those offended, but I'm not likely to change.

What happened to your post from another thread stating over 650 shops? "So after about a year and a half and over 650 shops done for MF, I got the boot." Exaggeration anyone?

Yes, I think three inquires in 18 months is a lot. Obviously MF thinks so since they gave you the boot.

It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. The forum police are getting a little big for their britches.
How is this bad advice? What does o.p have to lose? if you want to shop fast food mf has most of it. if you are already doing the time you might as well do the crime. I thought this forum is about helping other shoppers, not grandstanding for the mscs and tearing other shoppers down.

It's bad advice because it's dishonest and can adversely affect your mystery shopping career in the long run.

I would be too worried about competition. If there are shops available, evidently they're not all being taken or there are rotation times in effect.

It may not be theft, but it is fraud (and possibly conspiracy if someone gave you their identity to use fraudulently).
I prefer to think of it as sponsorship. A lot of what we call mystery shopping could be called by those names. op has already been convicted of fraud by mf and we've seen the result. Weigh the risk vs. the benefit. I'm presenting an option other than bending over and taking it dry. You miss 100% percent of the shots you don't take.

An intregal part of being a mystery shopper is integrity. Without it our reports are useless.

Not worth it man. Some folks just plain like defending certain companies for whatever reason. I'm with you though. Feel free to wander back through the formus as to why.

Satisfaction Services has some food shops to.

correct, It is NOT a violation to say ABC company has fast food shops...you are not naming a specific client...there are MANY possible restaurants...McD, BK, Wendys...i even think there are still a couple Roy Rogers around...Jack in the Box, Checkers, Windmill, White Castle, Taco Bell, etc
