If I do a Five Guys shop and don't like the fries but they are cooked according to Five Guys standards is it ethical for me to say yes the fries were satisfactory if I don't really like them? (This is a mystery shop question)

I think so. I started to correct her but was too busy laughing.

More About Five Guys Mystery Shopping

BTW, one thing about my previous post was on the level. I was not through the subject line before the belly laughs started and tears were streaming down my face by the end of the first post.

Oh no! I'm gonna die laughing and it's 2:30AM and I have an early day tomorrow. I'm going to 'cheat my way to lunch.' It's Canada Day and I am fully booked mystery shopping at one of the few malls allowed to open during Holidays. Fortunately, I have only one food shop to do where I can 'unknowingly' cheat the MSC because I definitely cannot consume all that food.

And BG, 5 Guys wants you to like the Fries and you have to eat at least 1/4 of them (including the extra scoop) or you will be "cheating."

Seriously? Like someone said, "Satisfactory" means cooked to 5 Guys standards, NOT your taste. Obviously MILLIONS of people LOVE them WHEN THEY'RE COOKED CORRECTLY. You are there to see if they are being made to the standards set forth in the guidelines, so that the thousands of people who eat at your shop continue to love the fries. There is no reason to stress about lying. Are they made correctly Y/N. Were they shaken 15x? Y/N No drama, no lying. You're way over thinking this. Lying is saying "The restroom was in good repair" and not taking a picture of the "Out of Order" sign. Lying is saying the grocery associate's name tag read "Craig", but he wasn't wearing one but you know his name from prior shops. The company is not interested in his name; they want to know if he was wearing a name tag. They can figure out who he is from your description. The store manager who sees your report knows who is who from height, hair color and length, and whether they're wearing glasses.

Wait a minute! I have a question. What if I counted a total of 15 shakes but for three different strainers? Does that count? The crew shook one 7 times. Then he took another and shook it 4 times. He shook the last one 4 times also. It is so confusing.

Clever, you big bully!

Not so much as some; boredom kicking in for the summer for the regulars I guess. Gotta polish that mean streak if you want to keep it nice and shiny!

Where's the YouTube video ?

The topic sounded so silly, and thinking it was a serious question, I almost didn't read it. So glad I did! Better than Comedy Central!

So if someone were to take this thread seriously and to answer griff's question (who in their right mind would take it seriously,especially knowing anything about the snarky wit of the OP)...they might say it was okay to lie and it is not unethical because we are professional liars. We get paid to lie. It's completely dishonest how we make up fake names and pretend to be people we are not on a regular basis, but if the money's right...well.

I am not a fan of their fries and wish I could ask for them extra crispy. And (gasp) I only eat maybe FIVE of the fries, picking out the most crispy of the batch (oh horrors). I am probably messing that up and not evaluating them properly to the client's standards and am likely "cheating" the client, according to another forum member. Oh well. At least I can honestly report if they are properly salted and hot.

I do not do these shops because it makes me nervous to count that high.

It's obvious from the car he drives that he's gay and/or European.

Wait. What? When do cars have anything to do with that? I guess you're one of those guys who drive a huge truck because that's the only way to prove they have a penis.

y would op of link thread start thread about this thread

We are not supposed to have fun here.

bgriff, the guidelines address this. Your only concern is if the fries are cooked to Five Guys specifications, not to your taste buds.
