Some of the restaurants I shop, I feel like I can tell that they are expecting a shopper just based on the way the managers interact.
I did a restaurant/bar shop on Monday and there were two managers actively moving around helping out non stop with every little thing. Typically when there are two managers, it's because one is a GM and knows a shopper will be in that day so they are on their top game.
Needless to say, all of the associates got very high scores. Unfortunately all the attention was focused on the dining room that someone forgot to check on the restroom and ALL of the stalls were empty of toilet paper and seat covers! Eeek. Would've been a perfect shop if not for that!
Anyway, ya I can usually tell when they "know" a shopper is supposed to be there.
Well last night, I sat down to write my report about this FG shop. I took out my recorder to get the details and such and straight up heard the part about "On Tuesday there was a mystery shopper.......bla bla report bla bla free lunch now" "really?!?" "Yup!" "Oh wow awesome" "bla bla" lol
I couldn't hear word for word because I was at a table and they were in the kitchen but yup. Interesting.
