You are all awful people

Hi! I'm a hardworking, loyal employee of a business I've spent the past five years trying to do everything in my power to help. I loved it, loved the people and believed in the product. Today, my boss said I'd been "mystery shopped" over the phone, and my scores weren't good. I read the piece of paper this mystery shopper submitted, and I recalled the conversation I had with her. I knew she was a fake call at the time of the conversation--she asked the strangest, most circuitous questions with no logic to their sequence, questions that almost no one asks, and certainly not out of context--yet I still did my best to be as helpful as possible to her, as if she were a real person. Then, this woman had the audacity to write paragraphs about my failure to meet specific phone call criteria. This woman who is not real. This woman who represents exactly 0% of our call base and our clientele. This woman who thinks she can evaluate my performance as an employee based on her stupid fake phone call filled with stupid vague questions? Who thinks she can assign scores to the hours, days, months, years of labor I have put in evangelizing our business to the most clueless, the most entitled, the most willfully stupid people in the most efficient, warm, caring and cheerful manner? Who does this woman think she is? Who do any of you think you are? What sort of terrible people must you be to derive your daily bread from the ruthless gutting of well-meaning, earnest people like me? You fall prey to this capitalist system that pits brother against brother, thinking you sit at the right hand of the father when you merely trot obsequiously behind the cowhand. Shame on you.

I'm still baffled that someone could possibly equate North Korea with Socialism.

Shopping up and down the Colorado Rocky Mountain front range.

Venezuela is a much better example.

My ex-husband was like that. He'd say my reaction was the problem but I wouldn't be have a reaction if there was not an action. Thankfully his new wife is an ass-kisser.

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.

I respectfully disagree. I owned and operated a florist shop from 1985 to 1991. It was crazy hard work and very stressful. I sold it and went to massage therapy school and got my license. From 1992 to 2000 I owned a massage therapy business with only 2 employees instead of 7, but it was still hard work and stressful. I would never want to be a business owner again other than being the self-employed IC mystery shopper that I am now.

I'm a little late to the party here but here is my .02. I'm new to mystery shopping. I'm.. about ... 30ish shops in.

I do NOT like having to report someone didn't do this, that or the other thing that they were supposed to do. I really want to say the person did everything they were supposed to do. And let's be honest, the report is easier when/if you can say that.

But, they're paying me to report it as it happened, according to their guidelines. They're supposed to upsell.. they're supposed to be friendly and smile... they're supposed to say thank you. They're supposed to be clean. So - if your facility is dirty and you treat me poorly - that's how it will be reported. It isn't personal.

Just out shopping around...
