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.
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.
And this is not true either: 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.
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. 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.
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!
