I'm badly needing some work and I've done hundreds of Movie Checks. I do NOT prefer the trailers, bad pay.. too much driving.. too much paperwork. The open checks and IF i'm desperate, the Blind Checks are okay, as long as they pay well.

If you are a scheduler, you could PM me here, or try e-mail me.

I'm really needing some work. Prefer shops that pay direct as opposed to doing a direct deposit or paying thru paypal. That's a bit of a hassle.

I'm very good at what I do and very discreet. What is that shopping company that is up in Kinderhook, NY called? I worked for them at one time. Their dispatchers for the blind shop dept treated the workers horribly though, and I stopped working for them sometime ago.


I'd like to start doing their Open Check Deptartment but not sure how to get back into their site.

Certified Reports actually pays better for trailer checks then covert employee evaluations which only pay $5.00 as opposed to $12.50 plus $2.50 for trailer checks on two screens. And you still get to see a free movie if you are skilled at this..Hanovermis.com is slowly doing movie patron counts in some areas..

Hanover as of yet, is not sending out any movie check assignments in my area that would pay my gas, though I signed up for them months ago! I'm still waiting...

Well, is that the company out of Kinderhook, NY? Trailer checks don't pay nada compared to an open check. That pays you for the whole day. I did work for Certified at one time. They were good to work for for their Open check dept.

Their blind check dept.. the worst ever... they expected me to drive home after doing a blind check all day in a snowstorm.. I knew the storm was coming and said I might NOT be able to finish up the day. They told me IF i didn't finish the day I would NOT be paid at all! This was after I had paid my way into the theatre with my own cash for the entire day.. we live in an area that if it snows, there's really no snow trucks out for hours and driving is treacherous...

Plus I had to head up a mountain pass to get home. I asked if they'd put me up in a motel so I could finish my Blind check and they said No way.. I'd have to pay for it, meaning what I'd have to pay for motel would eat up whatever pay I'd made for the day. Meaning I'd worked for 10 hours and gotten NOTHING for that day!

This woman, Becky, started to scream at me at the top of her lungs over the phone... It was most distressful and she ended up deleting me from their system..
I tried to explain via e-mail what happened including sending them weather reports I had had my friend download for me showing the snowstorm was indeed coming our way, but they refused to let me enter back into their system.

I think I've heard other bad things about their schedulers. Some of the blind check dept are the pits there, and extremely rude to their checkers....

I'd never do a blind check for them again.. but Now I cannot even get back into their system. I had thought about contacting their president and seeing if he'd reinstate me if I sent him a snail mail letter.

Would that even work??

CRI has been outstanding to work for. Only complaint I have is some of their customers cancel assignment's on the day their due, not giving you enough time to find another assignment for the day.

Well, doing the LAST blind check for CRI sure was NOT outstanding for me! I had to drive like 2 hours one way... to do a blind check..it was for the entire day, and they were predicting snow the whole time I was down there. I even passed thru some lite snow driving there. I had no idea we were going to get snow that weekend or I wouldn;t have signed up for the blind check in the first place¡ there was a sudden snowstorm that came up that morning, I tried to reach them.. all I got was a recorded message... the entire morning.
Being a good devoted worker I headed there anyway.. but I had a feeling that if I had stayed the whole day, I'd end up driving up a mountain in the dark in a blinding snowstorm.. been there, done that, very unsafe...

I wouldn't mind working for TES again if they had a decent dispatcher giving out assignments...

but the dispatcher at CRI was extremely rude, screaming at me at the top of her lungs.. cuz I didn't want to stay thru the last movie at 6 pm and end up putting my life in danger, or pay my own way for a hotel, and ending up making NOTHING!


Well, you didn't answer my questions.. Is there another forum that's more active than this one??

Unfortunately this is not really helping me find a job at all.

Have anyone gotten reinstated at CRI for theatre checks? How would I go about writing that letter? I've never had a problem doing their open checks, but their blind check was the absolute pits! Plus you had to spend all your own money upfront.. Not exactly a great sitation, when movies are $7 each per movie!!

Wow, maybe it is just me, but I don't understand why the attitude. No one owes you help finding jobs, no matter how dire your situation, and you have not said whether it is or it is not.

Your experience with CRI seems extremely negative, yes. Why would you take an all-day job that required driving 2 hours one way? I wouldn't have gotten to that yes without an exceedingly high bonus, personally.

Perhaps no one here knows of other companies besides the two you have already criticized.

Try googling "mystery shopping forums." If you found this one, you can find the others. There are several, one more active and several less so.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/10/2009 06:32PM by dee shops.

And indeed, successful shoppers help themselves. There are lists of companies you can sign up with and perhaps if you find other companies doing the types of work you are interested in you will share them here as the question often arises as to who is doing movie checks.

I think the tension on the forum of late is a little disturbing and it seems to be a trend from the last couple of threads I have read.

I speak for myself but certainly THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FORUMS p-e-r-i-o-d. It's easy to use, there are outstanding people here, you get heaps and heaps of good and useful information and if you had to research it on your own it would take months!!!!! Needless to say that Jacob is an awesome fella to boot!

Attitudes and emotions aside, consideration and plain good ol' fashioned manners need to be observed. Certain etiquette's are expected and appreciated BUT there are and will be those few that feel the need to vent, throw a bit of hash or much unnecessary sarcasm. FORGET IT! That's not the way to treat a fellow shopper and/or scheduler.

So I impart this to all who read it:
PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD, ALWAYS!!!!!

Hey Polly.....unfortunately there aren't many mystery shopping companies that do movie theaters. Certified Reports has a horrible reputation in dropping shoppers for no reason, which was already covered on this forum numerous times. Hanover Media seems like a nice company, however they have recently slowed down in assigning any theatre assignments whatsoever for unknown reasons. I don't even know if TES/TNS Media still has theater work in the NY and NJ area because I never once heard from them after applying with them over a year and a half ago. I do know that Confero, Service Sleuths, and Satisfaction Services has some theatre assignments in certain areas, but they are very random and pay very little. I'm just hoping that Market Force eventually adds Certified's theatre assignments on their website.

If you're really looking to make some good extra money, I would research the focus group companies in your area and sign up with them. I just did a focus group last night on banking and made $100 for just a one hour group discussion with no reports to fill out and nothing to purchase. You can also check craigslist's ETC section, because many focus groups recruit new people on there. Remember, it's only legit if it's FREE to join! Once you get into doing focus groups heavily, you most likely won't feel the need to mystery shop anymore.

well, I am in need of making some MONEY to pay BILLS!
It is called survival dee shops. Nice you have the luxury or waiting til some great paying shops come along, that would be ever so nice, but in the meantime, bills keep coming and to keep paying internet fees and phone bills of over $80 a month and getting no help or info to find Movie checks does me no good at all, if I cannot find a Movie Check to do!

I find the ATTITUDE on your post pretty offensive to me Dee shops...

I do not THINK this forum is active enough to make it worthwhile for those who do the Movie Checks. I really do NOT like doing the mystery shops.. some are good to work for, but alot of them, do not hardly pay enough to pay the gas there and back.. which means I make NO profit at all on them!!. I;ll do them cuz I need the $$ and I have no alternatives at present but to be honestly, most of the time I HATE doing them as they pay like $3 an hour by the time I am done getting all the stuff off the printer at the library, going to the shop, coming home.. downloading the receipts.. yada yada yada...

Why would you take an all-day job that
> required driving 2 hours one way?

That is par for the course if you are a movie cheker. AND our company will often compensate us for our travels.
However we make ALOT More if we get good checks..
I often drive far distances to do the Movie Checks and alot of movie checkers DO.. that is simply part of our of business....

If you do not like driving, then you ought to NOT think about being a Movie Checker, but I do not see too many movie checkers period on this forum, so maybe I am in the wrong place... BUT, the LAST blind check dispatcher who gave me my last assignment was proably the most unprofessional person I have even run into in all my time as a movie checker! Instead of removing me, they should of removed HER!
WHo has the nerve to scream at someone at the top of their LUNGS, simply cuz the checker does not want to drive home at night in a SNOWSTORM, up a mountain pass, and put their life in danger!!!!

njrebel, I've not heard of focus groups. How does it work? How do you start? Do you do very many of these?

Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/21/2009 06:10PM by AustinMom.

Well, ty for the polite helpful post njrebel...

I am really looking for MOVIE CHECKS, not mystery shopping.

but.. in lieu of that, how dones one get signed up for the focus group? Who is the company you need to go get signed up with. You could PM me if you would like

If I could find stuff easily on google, I would of done it a long time ago.

you ask me to give out the names of companies who do the movie checks but then you criticize ME for asking what companies one could go work for?????? that does not make sense.. thought the whole purpose of joining a forum was to get help, not to be expected to HELP ONESELF.
Just because I wanted to vent about CRI does not make me impolite or a bad person.
Other people have had trouble with that company.. at least the blind check dept, that;s for sure.
Geez.. it was OK for people to write TEN pages of complaints about Corporate Research, which to me, though they do not pay well all the time, I;ve never encountered people there at Corporate Research who were screaming at you at the top of their lungs the way I did with that dispatcher for the blind check dept, named Becky, at CRI!

I am still wondering if anyone ever been able to get signed back up with them at CRI??

Before I did work for that blind check dept, I did have sucess with their company. I worked for them for a couple of years actually.
How I wish I never volunteered to do ANY of their blind checks.... you have to pay all your fees up front... and then .. you have to be undercover the entire time. It;s difficult to say the least to stay in a movie house for 8 hours and have no one noticing that you keep going to the same movie over & over!

I never really did like doing the blind checks, though i;ve done them from time to time.
I have no problem being out front and coming up to the manager and telling them what I;m there for and getting my info without sneaking around!
Maybe some people like the aspect of sneaking around.. I;d much rather be upfront and out THERE and let the movie staff know I am there to do my job!
Maybe you have to have a certain amount of bravery for that job instead of pretending to NOT be there for a certain reason.
It all depends on what you get paid and your personality I suppose.

And dee shops. I doubt you would like to stand in front of 400 people in a dark crowded theatre and count them all either! That takes alot of persistence too, along with driving sometimes a considerable distance to do your job, but I think the rewards are well worth it!
I love the movies, so being a movie checker fits right in with what I love to do! I cannot count how many blockbusters and other movies I;ve done that I would of had to pay for in my days as a checker... so it;s been rewarding... I really miss doing it!

Polly,

I work FT teaching 4 digital art classes on two different college campuses, work part time as the lab manager for one of them, and mystery shop over 30 shops a month. And I am married with a kid. We rent, probably always will be stuck renting, and we only own one car and I travel the kid his school, me to my work, and to my MS jobs MAINLY by public bus. I hardly live a life of luxury. But you didn't see me here complaining that others owe me info, because I need $, which I do.

What I do not do is come here and expect people OWE me jobs. I do the research and get them. I DID NOT ask you for the names of the companies you shop for. I asked you to get onto your keyboard and do the research yourself. As I said, no one owes you, and you came on with the "No one answered me" yammer yammer. Instead of complaining, do the legwork!

And, I have stood in the dark and counted patrons. For the firm you hate, yet.

I haven't done any movie checks - blind or otherwise. What are the details of the distinction, and what's a typical amount of pay? I also rarely see movies at the theater. Lord of the Rings trilogy was the last, and that was a family event.

Come on guys, can't we all get along? Anyway, some of you asked about the focus groups. As I said earlier, I LOVE them. I signed up for just about every one I was able to find in my area and I get called to do one maybe once every two months or so. Of course, most focus groups would automatically disqualify you if you claim to have done one within the past 6 months. They pay anywhere between $100 - $300 per session, most are in the $100 - $150 range though. Only the longer ones pay more. Focus groups are basically a way CEO's of companies can talk to individuals in person (small group setting of about 5 - 7 people) to get an idea for future company advertisements, website designs, logos, TV comercials, etc... to see if the public will go for it. Of course, if you live near a major city, you'll have a great opportunity to participate in these. The only requirement is that you can't be shy and be able to talk in front of people you don't already know in a laid back group setting. There are basically two websites that will help you find focus groups in your area. The first one is [www.greenbook.org] which lists just about every focus group and market research company in the country and you can narrow your search for your state. Keep in mind that not every company on there does focus groups and deals with the general public, so you have to check their websites to find out more info on them. The second site to check on a periodic basis is craigslist under the ETC Job section. Many focus groups advertise on there. Just remember that any company asking you for a fee to sing up is a SCAM!! I hope this helps. Also, you need to pass a pre-screener to qualify for these studies. Many times you won't pass, but don't be discouraged. I was just called for one yesterday for a Beer Drinking study, but I didn't qualify since too many people answered the screener the same as I did. Good luck!

Rebel

Mert,

For open movie checks you identify yourself to the theatre management. Blind checks you do not. You usually count people-sometimes you do the trailers. Often the open ones want you to do every last showing of a movie at a theatre. If it is a huge release in a major city, it might be on 8 screens at the same complex. Then they ask you to bring friends to help you, if the times are too close together. They pay per screen. It's a bigger amount for the first, and a lesser amount for the others. You can make a couple of hundred bucks on the right movie at the right theater, running between them with no helper, if you are organized and good. The reporting is wicked easy-its numbers. Often called in. And a few lines of text, if a trailer.

Hey,njrebel, THANKS. I will go to Greenbook right away. Another way to pick up a little money and sounds like fun. I am signed with more than 160 MSPs - Jacob's list in another thread on this forum was immensely helpful. They don't all post jobs in my area but I'm ready if they ever do. I started MSing in October for a bunch of MSPs, then signed up with more from Jacob's list. I was pretty timid in October but got braver. I started reading this forum in October but didn't get brave enough to sign up and actually post for a while. I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!! Many thanks to all who provide information and especially to the experienced shoppers who take time to guide us newer shoppers. I know I'm not the only one who is getting an education. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW APPRECIATED YOU ARE. THANKS!

TY njrebel.. you said you cannot be shy.. well, you cannot be SHY either if you are going to be an open checker.. To have to count all these people in a crowded theatre, takes some guts too....
I think I;d be good at that.. I have no problem going up to complete strangers and talking to them! LOL.. does not bother me at all...

But what do you mean by this njrebel?
¨Also, you need to pass a pre-screener to qualify for these studies. Many times you won't pass, but don't be discouraged. I was just called for one yesterday for a Beer Drinking study, but I didn't qualify since too many people answered the screener the same as I did. Good luck!¨

I remember I had one shop as a shopper, where I had to go to a bar and order a drink, that paid pretty well.. although it was a bit of a drive to get there.. but I;d much rather drive farther and get paid more than get paid only a few dollars and not hardly drive at all...

What is a pre-screener, may I ask?

I go will out that website.. It helps to be able to get a job that pays over $50.. these jobs that only pay $10 or $12.. maybe $20, they just do not pay the bills!

Oh, Dee shops, you ought to think before you hit SEND. To get onto someone elses thread, when all they are asking to do is to get some help in finding a job on a forum that is set up just FOR that.. is bad web etiquette..your post to me was most disrespectful..as was your 2nd one also....

I was merely relating the facts that happened when I did a blind check for a company whom I have heard others complain about too..
That is what these forums are for btw, are they not? To let other shoppers-checkers know who are the good co. to work for and who are not good ones to work for...
I surely wouldn;t get on someone else;s thread and berate them for asking for help in finding a job.. especially in these times...

Tell me, is there an ignore button on this forum somewhere?

I went to greenbook but it seems there are not any jobs that are less than 3 hours away!
What do I have to do.. contact each company via e-mail? There is not a website per se, like many of the mystery shops.. but they do leave an e-mai NJrebel.

Oh, btw, is Corp Research giving out any jobs at all that pay well to anyone over 30??

I see they have got gas station jobs that pay reasonably well, but you can only be 21-29 to get them!

I see that alot in their jobs. .they have some good paying jobs, but it is usually only for the much younger shoppers. Hardly fair if you gotta make house payments and such....

So.. what.. the older shoppers have to exist on the $5 a shop jobs? That is almost impossible. I like their shops.. but it seems that they only pay alot when it is for the younger shoppers. They haven;t had any decent shops I can do close by in a while..... this is getting bad...

Has anyone done a Papa John;s Pizza shop for Corporate Research? I have heard their digital shops were rather a hassle, getting the right camera angle or they wouldn;t accept the shop.
Is this true? Or are they relatively easy?

Polly, Almost all the information you seek is already here, except for your questions about Focus Groups. I find all of your posts incredibly disrespectful, which was the purpose for the first note. You came on and said this forum does not have enough traffic, are there others? You insulted the people who have been here, participating, in threads over time. And aided only by the demand that others did not answer you.

I know plenty about netiquette; I have been on the usenet since 1985, and on the web since it's inception. If someone flames you, maybe it would serve to consider the reason starts with you, what you wrote, and how you wrote it. If you approach a public sharing forum like your own personal genie in the lamp at your beck and call, insulting others (perhaps unintentionally) in the process, then you have set yourself up to have someone say, "Gee, why is she demanding answers (that people might not have or that are here in other threads) *and* insulting us in the process?"

If you do not want answers to your threads, do not start a thread in a public forum. You will not always like the information you get, but it doesn't mean people you may not care for do not get to respond.

Ok, I'm going to start a new forum called Focus Groups on here because I noticed we're getting off subject since this is supposed to only be about movie checks.

The purpose of this forum is, in a cordial atmosphere, to try to offer advice and assistance to those with the drive and incentive to help themselves. There is a whole specific section of this forum related to how this all works and how to get started and a lot of information about getting yourself organized to make this a systematic business rather than one-shot mad scrambles. The goal indeed does include giving fair warning about companies that are unreasonable to work with, are being slow on payments or otherwise are being a PITA to work with. But it also includes being supportive of each other as we go about trying to make part of a living at this.

There are not shopper jobs out there that pay big bucks. The only way you will pay the mortgage is to do lots of shops. The only way you will find lots of jobs is to be signed up with lots of companies and turn in excellent and objective work to them job after job after job so that they will award you jobs when they come up. Between fees and reimbursements my goal each month is $1100. To reach (and exceed by a little bit) in April I have needed to take and perform 59 jobs. You do the math about average pay + reimbursement per job. Roughly 2/3 of that this month is fees, most of which will be received in 4-6 weeks. My highest paying jobs for the month came from companies with whom I have worked for two years or more, who know my extensive narrative work and will find a way to enable me to work for them as frequently as possible.

I certainly am asked if I know shoppers in particular areas who can deal with extensive narrative and I admit that I think back over posts I have seen and writing styles in those posts and based on that, PM shoppers to ask if they are interested and try to interface folks with the company. But my credibility is on the line every time I do that and sloppy or overly aggressive posts go nowhere. I know that MSPs and schedulers read these forums and I suspect their response is the same.

Dee shops states: Wow, maybe it is just me, but I don't understand why the attitude. No one owes you help finding jobs, no matter how dire your situation, and you have not said whether it is or it is not.

Your experience with CRI seems extremely negative, yes. Why would you take an all-day job that required driving 2 hours one way? I wouldn't have gotten to that yes without an exceedingly high bonus, personally.

How OFTEN have you done an Open Check dee shops???? I have never been sent to do an Open Check where I only did the LAST SHOW! You are there for the ENTIRE Day in most cases! is that what CRI is doing now? Only sending you out for the very LAST show??? Wow, if that is the case, then I;m glad I do not work for them anymore.. That wouldn;t pay anything....


Then you state.... I work FT teaching 4 digital art classes on two different college campuses, work part time as the lab manager for one of them, and mystery shop over 30 shops a month. And I am married with a kid. We rent, probably always will be stuck renting, and we only own one car and I travel the kid his school, me to my work, and to my MS jobs MAINLY by public bus.

And, I have stood in the dark and counted patrons. For the firm you hate, yet.


You know WHAT dee shops? I do NOT hate CRI.. I HATED working for the last little snivelling witch who thought it was COOL to scream at me for over 30 minutes on my cell phone (hoping my cell phone didn;t die when I might have gotten into an accident going up a mountain pass at nite in a snowstorm) while I sat there watching the sky and hoping we didnt; get a snowstorm I had to drive thru 2 hours to get home.. hopefully in ONE piece...

We live in an area where the roads are bad, just in good summer weather, let alone bad WINTER snowy weather.

Since you live in Hawaii, I guess you cannot relate to having to drive in the snow though, can you????

That was RUDE, and so is your post to me dee shops! Don;t come on my thread anymore...

You are doing nothing but bashing someone you don;t even know, and you surely are NOT being helpful! Nor are you answering any of my questions...

Then, after getting raked over the coals for asking for some help in finding Movie Checks, I get someone insisting that I share whatever company I may find to get these jobs!

Hey.. no one wants to help me out! And I;m getting bashed JUST for asking....Why should I help anyone else out?
No way..after reading this thread here, there is way too much competition in my area for jobs period, especially these movie check jobs!

Try reading someone;s post thoroughtly Dee shops, before you start ranting and raving over what you PERCEIVE they have wrote..

I even stated that I had worked for CRI for several years before having a problem.. but I see another poster has ALSO claimed that CRI will throw you out of their system for no good reason. If I HATED them, as you falsely claim I do, then why would I ask if it is possible to get back into their Open Check dept after being taken out of their system?

Again, another question of mine that did not get answered.....

It was OK for me to work for them for almost 2 years and do EVERYTHING they asked me to do.. They are NOT a perfect company, but going to work in the blind dept, that was my big mistake as they had some real JERKS working in that dept. That is just a fact!!!
Now.. I;m trying to get a job and get my bills paid..
I see you have two FULL TIME jobs, so... obviously getting JUST your basic living expenses paid are not that big a concern for you, in regards to take the mystery shops.

However, in our area, not only do we NOT have a public bus line to get on to take a job, but we do not hardly have ANY jobs at all in our area!

So you are WAY out of line to start ranting at me, cuz I need a job to help pay my bills and want to get back into a field I;ve done for years and thoroughly enjoyed.. except for the last blind check I did at CRI!! Other than that I really liked working for CRI....

Has anyone had any sucess getting back into their system on CRI?

Try using some web internet etiquette, dee shops, and some ALOHA the next time you post on someone;s thread since you claim to be from Hawaii!

I have not found a single job I could take since joining this forum..

Before you sit in judgement of someone else Dee shops and start typing hateful posts to someone who is desperately in need of a job to pay their basic living expenses, try walking a mile in their shoes!

I did not come here to be sit in judgement of by some rude cyber-bully, but merely came here to find a job!

Nice you have TWO Full time jobs.. but not everyone does, so if it bothers you to see someone who desperately needs a job, then don;t post on their thread! It;s simple...

Isn;t there a terms of service regarding being rude and disrespectful to others on here?

Would you come into someone;s home and start making rude comments too Dee Shops? Well, that is what it is like when someone starts a thread and they get people who make abrasive and offensive comments like you have on my thread!

It;s bad enough we cannot pay our bills, the last thing I need is to have some cyber-bully like yourself think they have a right to get on my thread and push me around simply cuz I need a job.

And your comment that I;ve gotten on other people;s thread and made rude comments to them also is totally false..That is called libel.
Save for my thread I have hardly come to this forum at all... What is the point if you cannot find a job off it? I surely did NOT come here to have cyber-bullies like you take me apart at the seams.

What is WITH the internet nowadays? You cannot go on hardly any message boards anymore without some cyber-bully running you off it!

I came here for help with jobs not to be verbally abused.

AGAIN do NOT post on my thread here Dee Shops.. You are not welcome with your rude abrasive false comments about me!

I suggest you remove your rude and abrasive comments to me on my thread here.. That would be the Polite thing to do!

Stay off my thread Dee shops! You do not know ANYTHING about net etiquette obviously from your last 3 posts here..

You come here to flame someone, not to help them!

My, this is the epitomy of rude and personal attacks, if I have not seen it!
LOL

¨I know plenty about netiquette; I have been on the usenet since 1985, and on the web since it's inception. If someone flames you, maybe it would serve to consider the reason starts with you, what you wrote, and how you wrote it. If you approach a public sharing forum like your own personal genie in the lamp at your beck and call, insulting others (perhaps unintentionally) in the process, then you have set yourself up to have someone say, "Gee, why is she demanding answers (that people might not have or that are here in other threads) *and* insulting us in the process?"

If you do not want answers to your threads, do not start a thread in a public forum. You will not always like the information you get, but it doesn't mean people you may not care for do not get to respond.¨



How about this idea dee shops? If you do NOT like someone or their thread, then just do NOT go to it!

All you do is cause trouble. IT is because of people like you who INSIST on getting on others threads and start bashing them that websites are often closed down.

I should have NO qualms whatsoever about getting on a website that is design to HELP someone find a job online and ask the question I did..
I bet you are disrespectful to other people on the net. I often see your kind frequently everything I log onto the web now..

How sad.. this forum is to help people, not to hurt their feelings.

As I said before, if you cannot be respectful or helpful.. and alot of your info about checking was not accurate at all, then get OFF my thread!

as my mom used to say, if you cannot say anything nice, then do not say anything at all!

Please stop it right here and now Polly. This is not YOUR thread. No one owns a thread here. I have to agree with DeeShops that your 'style' is counterproductive to anyone wanting to assist you. Sorry if you have found nothing useful to you here. Spend a little time reading rather than screaming and you may indeed find something useful.

It is not my thread?? I am the one who start this thread!!! LOL

gosh.. My style??? Check out Dee shops STYLE! She as rude as I have ever encountered with her personal attacks.. well, she has GOT a full time! What does she care, or obviously YOU either, if we cannot pay our bills!!

I guess it doesn;t matter to you in this bad economy when others are going bankrupt and being forced out of their houses either!
Go walk a mile in someone else;s shoes. are there NO rules for flaming people on this site at all????
That is ridiculous. Get off my thread flash, I see you are rude and disrespectful too....
Listen, and you NEVER even answered my question to begin with!

If it is OK for other people to state the bad results they have had with other companies, then it is OK for me to state the bad results I have had with another company.

Hey, I could be saving someones life here with my thread!!
If there is still that girl Becky at CRI, here who INSISTS that people stay the entire day to do a blind day when there IS a snowstorm coming up in someones area, and that either they STAY and do the last snow and risk their life driving home in a blinding snowstorm, OR get booted totally out of the system.. (cuz that is EXACTLY what she was threatening to do to me.. Fire me and not even PAY me for the entire day...even after I paid over $40 in movie fees just to get into the show, since it was a blind check) then someone may well RISK THEIR LIFE and STAY at the theatre and run into deadly driving weather going home since they were intimidated into staying at the theatre since they have such unreasonable people working for their CRI dept in the Blind Dept!

I just saw on the news how they had SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW OUT WEST this week, so I am not complaining about insignificant facts.

Why do not you stop coming here and sticking up for someone like Dee shops who is obviously being demeaning and insulting?

I cannot stand you cyber-bullies, You ALWAYS insist on coming onto someone elsesthread that they started and pushing them around.

You know what you do instead? you get people who are shy and WANT to post a question and possibly become a shopper or a checker and scare them off from even posting or even BEING on this site!

Go away flash! I am NOT here to take Dee shops verbal abuse nor yours... I asked her several times to be polite, I am NOT going to waste any more of my time, fending off your personal attacks against me, when no one has even bother to answer my original question in the first place.

Your type of people are just of time and money on this site.

I am looking for work, not verbal abuse from someone who does not like my writing STYLE! LOL

Gosh, give it a rest cyber-bullies!

Time to have a discussion with the owner of this forum to have you bounced. You are adding nothing to the discussion.

Stop flaming me on my own post, when I;m merely trying to find WORK!

Go do something constructive with your time and go do some shop... which you always BRAG you have NO TROUBLE FInding... there are others out there who are NOT in an area wiht many jobs and WE NEED A JOB!
We do not need to come to a forum where it is supposed to HELP US FIND JOBS¿ and be berated constantly by you and your friend Dee shops.. You are a bunch of shrews, if you actually THINK you are being cordial and HELPFUL OR respectful.

You are bashing people here, and you have flamed me repeatedly on my OWN POST!

I have asked you to stop repeatedly and you have refused and come back and been even more disrespectful with each post!
WHat do you think you are accomplishing by doing this? Do you think that people actually read this thread and find this place congenial? And helpful or respectful?

No way, they;ll read this and say, forget it.. the people on the forum are more impolite, some of them, than some of the bad mystery shops I have done!

NOW go do something constructive and go jump into a lake. Maybe you will cool off and come to your senses and get some respect back in yourself!

Stop trying to intimidate me Flash, you are mean-spirited, obviously like to CONTROL what others write on their post..

It is perfectly OKAY for you to complain about an insurance company that may make you lose your insurance, but somehow it is NOT OK for me to complain about a dispatcher that could make your lose your very LIFE by insisting you drive home in a snowstorm at nite in a mountainous area!

Go get a life, and leave me alone! You are nothing but a cyber-bully!!

Later for you Flash, you are acting like a complete a jerk!

Go harass someone else!

Go away, leave me alone.. or do you want me to come to all your threads and start bashing you? I doubt you would want that..
Now grow up and get lost!

I;ve had enough of your verbal abuse!
