Forgiveness for someone that calls us awful....assuming is not truth, take OP for what he is saying, not putting your words in his mouth.@Shop-et-al wrote:

If this ever happens, and according to some posts here it does, then we do need forgiveness.
Maybe we all need a little forgiveness, after all. Just sayin'...

You wanna live in socialism, see how you like Venezuela or North Korea.
A lot of aspects of MS do bother me. Many times we waste staff's time when we have no intention of buying. I dislike the idea of reporting someone who was perfectly friendly and helpful because they didn't thank me at a specific point. I detest shops with "scenarios" that require me to put on an act, so I avoid them. I have a lot of complaints about the industry from my own perspective, and how it's a pain in the ass with little reward, which is why I'm cutting back.
I'm sure if OP were actually fired or even put on some kind of probation, s/he would have said so. So probably it was just some harsh feedback. I feel kind of badly that some people here would not feel some empathy toward him or her. Everyone can have an off day. I think it's worthwhile for OP to listen to the call if it was recorded.
I have never worked in a job where my behavior was clandestinely tested, nor would I want to. I would probably feel the same way as OP, minus the capitalism stuff. And if I owned a store or restaurant, I would not hire mystery shoppers.

You would personally train all the mystery shoppers needed to check all your businesses' stores nationwide? How would you have time to actually run the business? We exist because what we are doing is valued by corporate executives and they do not have the time to do it themselves - and still run the business. Moreover, we can do it for far less money than they could.

Why not, Prince? There's a couple here who started out with one McD. Now they own 14 in the area, all profitable. Being the boss is the way to go.
