Lamborghini test drive: Stop by ex-girlfriend's place of employment "accidentally" and need to make a bathroom break. I think you named my dream shop as well.
A photo only audit of a 3 day, 2 night resort with hotel, food, spa and travel expenses reimbursed by the MSC.
Shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado. 33 year old male and willing to travel!
This topic pops up from time to time and I never really think about it beyond a few exotic resort shops and others I know are actually in existence. But as I saw the topic this time it hit me what my true deam shop would be.
I would love to evaluate a fishing guide service, preferably with float plane included to some remote location with a rustic fishing cabin.

Fetch & Photograph art supplies. Full and generous reimbursement. Five shops per quarter.

Employees do everything right. Shelves are stocked, fronted and dust free. No issues in the restroom.
Oh I forgot you asked for the perfect shop. Well that's a horse of a different color. My perfect shop is a scheduler who calls at the end of the month and has a clue about how far I need to drive. And knows the proper amount of bonus that isn't insulting.

One of those baseball/sporting event trips where you go to several cities...and the trip would be measuring each of the different services/hotels/parks you go to....and of course the trip would be fully paid for (even the transport to/from the starting point....and everyone on this trip would be "shoppers" so you would have several reports from different people....easy stuff too...little to no narration with lots of pictures to be used in the report.
Silver certified (since 2009) and willing to do shops all around the greater Chicago, NW Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin areas (including airports!.

Let's make it an all expenses paid, "30 in 30" trip! Visit 30 ballparks in 30 days. Airfare, ground transportation, hotels, food, and while we're at it, leisure activities as permitted by the schedule. Leisure activities include, but are not limited to; golf outings, concerts, spa treatments, tourist attractions, and others. Heck, if you would like some company on this dream shop, count me in!

Right now it would be a regular route for salons with fully reimbursed spa level mani/pedi every two weeks, a monthly massage and maybe a quarterly seaweed wrap. Shopper fee of $50 per visit and no narrative in the report.
I'm a little stressed out lately, so I'd probably try to combine these shops on the same day I'd do Honnybrown's wine shop.

I used to see a life coach pretty regularly.... back when they were called bartenders.

One that pays $50, takes 10 minutes in-store, and takes five minutes to input the report. And I don't have to purchase anything.
I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

A shop-creation experience. It is up to me to define and measure hibernation. I must calculate my reimbursement for dozing, reading, meditating, exercising, painting, breathing, planning, prepping, measuring, calculating...
Whoops! Painting supplies were provided in the dreamy art supplies shops. I mustn't count them twice.

One week long, all expenses paid, cruse. Three question survey. What color was the water? Did you get enough to eat? How long were you passed out?
Now that's a dream shop!

These are all great.
I am always searching job boards to put together the right shops to get reimbursed all of my gas to drive to Banff (and back). Reimbursed for a few nights in a hotel or one night each in a few hotels, reimbursed for the skiing and find shops for every meal. But if this is fantasy then I would like all of that to be handed to me as one shop with a nice fee on top of the reimbursement.

There was a Ferrari shop in my area recently. Paid $150 fee. BUT I didn't qualify because I am not a man. I was a little miffed about that but I got over it with a different shop they had.
I want to be sent a gift card with several hundred dollars on it to evaluate a spa. That way if they say I made a mistake I'm not out of pocket.

Not sure about the trip to a faraway destination but the other two are out there and available.
We need a shopper to go to the Playboy Mansion. We will send you camera equipment prior to the shop. The assignment includes seeing how cooperative and friendly the playmates are. You will be staying in the Bill Cosby room.
I don't have one ideal shop- but perhaps one where the schedulers meet you for chocolate and hand deliver your gift cards for a hotel shop prepaid.
I've shopped Porche twice. I wasn't impressed. I own an Audi R8 though, which I think is a far better ride. Of course, if I hadn't, I would not have bought it. Now a Lam or a Rolls is way out of my league for buying. Wonder who actually shops those brands?
What I am trying to work my way up to is cruise shopping. They exist. It was a friend that got me into this business while convincing me to take an Alaskan cruise with an overland tour to the Yukon. I paid my own way. Hers was paid, even the tips and she earned $500 for the video shop and reports. It is a long a difficult road to get there and get those jobs, but it is what I am working toward. My friend does 6 cruises a year and when she isn't on a cruise, she is route shopping across the U.S. with so many providers and companies. She is gone three weeks and home a week. She has been doing this for close to 20 years. It's hard, but it can be done and I'm going for it.
