Which Businesses Would You Love to Shop?

June 23, 2010 12:59AM
I have done carpet cleaning shops. I believe it was thru Palm Services. I enjoy resort shops and hope to get more of them. Disneyland would be could but I only get Legoland, and Discover Kingdom and Great America shops offered.

I enjoy the movie evaluations but hard to come by. Trailer checks work just as well since I am able to view the movie. I had an IMAX recently and will not do it again. They do not reinburse enough to even pay for the cost of the tickets.

Ruth Chris has come up before but I was never selected for the assignment.

Oh that's a good one, debdream. I'd love Ruth's Chris, I've not managed to snag one yet although I've seen it come up a couple times over the past year.

I have done Ruth's Chris for two different companies - both a worthwhile shop for what you get. I am not a huge fan of the chain, but my husband lurves them to death.

Totally off subject - we have a tradition to dine at Ruth's Chris before my husband deploys to a combat zone (he is in the military) - the last time we dined at Ruth's Chris for this reason (of course not a shop) we ordered quite generously, including quite a pricey bottle of wine. At the end of the meal right after dessert, the sever was going through the typical spiel of "we really enjoyed having you - please come back" and I mentioned that it was our "tradition" to dine there the night before my husband deployed to Afghanistan and/or Iraq. The server thanked my husband profusely for serving, yada yada, we thought it was nice - she excused herself. Next thing we know the manager comes over, shook my husband's hand, and told him that he appreciated the business and what he does for the country and he was picking up the tab for the evening.

So that really gave me the warm and fuzzies for Ruth's Chris!

That was really a great story. :-)

I too LOVE RC. For us, it is our "occasion" restaurant. We love the one on Beachwalk to death. You can wear whatever, since it is a beach area, but the food and service are exceptional. I used to want to get assigned it, but I am now afraid they know me too well. We end up there for the Prime Time special about once every 6 weeks for some reason or another. Starting late last year they begin giving us an appetizer free every visit, and they know who we like as a server, both managers come visit, etc.

Would love to shop Sbarro's if they come out of bankruptcy before closing.

Also would love to do a church shop and the YMCA which in my area is never shopped, but is elsewhere. Also would like to shop a strip club.

Would love to shop Trader Joe's.

FYI: Just got an email from an msc doing alcohol compliance shops at Trader Joe's. Hopefully they will expand ms to the rest of the store.

H&M is shopped, for a small fee and small purchase reimbursement.

I actually came into this thread to say Trader Joes and I see it has been recently discussed... great minds and all that.

I wanna say that someone some time ago said that TJs is shopped, but I personally have never seen it. Honestly, not sure that it needs it - service is always great, everyone loves it, etc.

I have shopped there for years, at their very first store...love it. I heard thru the grapevine, they use in house only. They have a woman that makes the tasty food for customers and also does their in house shopping. I hope someone out there can prove me wrong, I'd love to shop them as well.

Victorias Secret!!

Victoria's Secret: Don't they have an internal shopper program. Correct???

Many months back I think it was talked about either here or on the V-GOD site.


FYI: Lucy Activewear is shopped.

Lucy is shopped and the pay is minimal. I have yet to see Lululemon but I hear the pay is low. I lead an active lifestyle so I accept the Lucy shops because I can get great workout gear at a discounted price.

I've never done the shop, but I can confirm that the pay for Lululemon is low.

HYATT REGENCY!!!!

I am in ATL on vacation while hubby is on business. $500 splurge on a hotel room and no internet service. You have to pay per 24 hour period. The business center is there but owned and operated by Fed Ex and they are closed today because the hotel is renovating and putting down tile. My first hotel room(which was located in another tower) did not have washclothes. Got a letter saying "Oh, this tower access will be shut down so you must take the clear elevators up to the 22nd floor and walk across a skype then go back down to your room." I asked for another room because I am terribly afraid of heights especially with the see through elevators. Once in the new room, hubby gets in the shower and finds that this room doesn't have any towels.

I complained to the front desk and told them I am very disappointed in the Hyatt and that I have received better service at a Holiday Inn. The girl responds, "Hey I hear ya."

Would like to see AMC Theaters shopped again. They only are now occasionally doing proof of age for admisssion to R rated movies where an adult accompanies a minor, like those alcohol served at the table shops at TGI Fridays.

Would also like to see Fandango and movietickets.com shopped again. Both came and went last year after one brief round.

Lulumom is certainly shopped all over the place, I get tons of emails for them, there stuff is too expensive for the 7.00 fee.... would rather go to Macy's and get workout stuff on sale, which last me forever. AnonymousGirl Wrote:

Luluemom is now paying higher, I think 15.00, so, it is worth it if you need workout stuff.

I'd like to shop a good Sushi place.

Petsmart, hotels in general (I know they're out there, but I haven't found any), cruise liners in general, and airlines... Yes I want to travel LOL
Reply
June 23, 2011 01:10PM
Petsmart was being done only maybe once or twice a year and I no longer see them posted for many months now.

I shopped Fridays for the past few years, they are "on hold" till next year.

I try to get Changs, but am always beat, since they post at odd times, like the middle of the month. Decent hotel for decent pay, not doing them for the measley 40.00 fee.....unless it's great and includes meals.

The $400.00 hotel/resort jobs someone on the forum mentions.

Merry Maids or Molly Maids - I'm not all that picky. Reimbursement for an in-home shop, plus a fee.

Market Force had a movie theater shop last month in my area - not sure what movie theater chain it was though.

I also did some sandwich shop ones through them, but haven't seen then for months.
