Where Are You Shopping Today?

November 24, 2018 09:35AM
Had a long 9 hour drive back from family thanksgiving, so I'm exhausted, but did manage to do an online shop today when i got back and have a car wash shop on Saturday, keeping an eye on Barnes and Nobles, but people keep grabbing them for 13 dollars.grrrr
One nice outcome from family thanksgiving is I will be moving back to the state I grew up in, bad thing is they are very limited on mystery shopping there, hoping to travel every now and then so I can mystery shop still once I'm moved

Shopping Idaho and Oregon/Idaho border region.

Today I was supposed to shop Crappy Credit Union. I called the MSC yesterday to review the shop, but they were closed. No shop for me.

Today is a hotel valet video plus 2 other written shops, unless we actually get icy roads. We are sitting right along the border line where they may strike. The ground it cold enough to instantly freeze anything that falls.

Based in MD, near DC
Shopping from the Carolinas to New York
Have video cam; will travel

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

I'm getting a free week in Tokyo. Woot! Just shopped the whiskey bar at my hotel.

@SoCalMama; I have moved on to the Kentucky Mule, but they call it something else here.

It's actually much harder to do these assignments outside of the US. Not just getting names, but the servers really hang over you when you are signing the check. I've just given up and starting directly taking pics of everything in front of them. It's Japan after all....

I saw that whiskey selection and just about died. You are one lucky man.

@Niner, I wouldn't say they sent me to Tokyo. They had some amazing assignments in Tokyo. I asked for them and got them. Think "Lost in Translation"....

...and I guess I posted this in the wrong section since it's tomorrow here...not today. Where am I currently shopping tomorrow, perhaps?

applebees and a car wash shop.and possibly an online shop (The msc tends to post early morning for the online shops, so might add that one if so) might add a phone shop if it has a bonus on it..

Today is a grocery store and 2 POP audits for AARP. What is a really nice Texas Roadhouse bonus? LOL Here, when they get desperate they offer 3-5 dollars. I once told them I would do it for $25 bonus, but was told they couldn't do that.

Today I have 5 more POP audits for AARP, one QSR (for the lunch break), one frozen yogurt, and one grocery store. I don't usually do this many but the POPs are easy, and I am actually on vacation from my day job.

Also, @HonnyBrown for what that shop reimburses, I would not touch it for less then a 10-15 dollar bonus, and honestly, I have never offered to take it for less then a $25 bonus. Way to little money to eat at a steak joint.

I'm doing BJ's the remainder of the month. Wednesday is the warehouse and Saturday is the restaurant for lunch, no fee. On Friday, I'm doing my sports bar for a bonus.

You must be talking about the casual dining shop.

I do the bar shop during happy hour. I come in far under reimbursement. I leave the bartender a healthy tip, and I have leftovers the next day.

Did a merch assignment for CCMI auditing printers at Staples....did one yesterday and one today, with 2 more to do. Bit of a learning curve, but much easier today on the 2nd one. Good pay. Quirky report, though!!!
