I was ID'd as a mystery shopper by Papa John's. Anyone know another MSC doing pizza shops?

Sheesh, people.

Beautiful cat photo, TechSavvy. Meowy thanks.

I'm saying to speak to me to my face to speak to me. I don't fight. I don't have brawls.

Love the cat photo, TechSavvy! Meoww! Meoww!

It looks like a Maine Coon. I would need to see the paws and tail to be sure.

She's meant to demonstrate the ridiculous spitting and hissing, but you all know that.

...........TO SWITCH PEPPERS -- OR NOT TO SWITCH PEPPERS-- that is the question. Good gravy, if you feel ok swithcing peppers, the peppers switched are the same color and the peppers you use are an acceptable PJ pepper- then that is up to you. I can see this not meeting the letter of the law- but the spirit - maybe. I just don't care if you switch out or not. I just don't. ...... Just remember: when you are standing in front of that GREAT WHITE THRONE............ and HE asks you if you are a
"PEPPER SWITCHER"......
....well............. you will have to answer some day

. Lighten up people!

Is this the same great white throne that we are required to take a photo of when performing gas station and c-store shops? I wouldn't use the term "great" or even "white" when describing many of those thrones!

I think switching things around to avoid getting identified is a great idea. I think I'll do that from now on.

I'll use a different employee's name instead of the one I interacted with. That will confuse them.
I'll change the content of the interaction when I report so they won't be able to remember me.
I'll report that things were present which weren't and that other things were missing which were there.

Please help me think of more ways to keep my anonymity.

The results I submit may not be the true results for the shops and, thus, not useful to the client. Oh well, at least I'll make a few bucks. That's what is important.

OK, before I put a reply I just have to say - I will first disavow this next idea as legit by saying I (and most of us - notice I say most as apparently someone might) would never do this - BUT... instead of worrying about them putting a design on the pizza by how they do the toppings in order to out the shopper- why not just keep the previous pizza and use it for the photo - really throw them off - Can you just see it - Hey! that was last months design! - Quick - who did we do that design for last month? - LOL

From a ppj employees discussion at reddit:
"He then pulls out a bunch of 20 dollar bills, and says that a pizza from a mystery shop that gets 9.5 or higher nets the MIC a hundred dollar bonus (a perfect score of 10 would get the MIC a thousand smackers)...
I worked at papa John's for the last year in varying positions, ending as a manager. We got secret shopped all the damn time, and the way it basically went was either "this pizza looks great, here's $100" or " this pizza has a couple cut pepperoni, this is trash and you're fired."
