Nordstrom is not shopped per say (at least that I know of), but I just recently did a shop at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack to evaluate the signage for their credit card and if the cashier asked me to apply. You have to make a purchase as POV (which you can return, just not the same day, so that is a bit of a pain).

I've seen Carter's and Buy Buy Baby (since Babies R Us is closing) shopped in the Northeast.
Just to give a hint..I have seen PF changs on the companys board who caters more toward hotels and it starts with the letter C....
For me I would love to see more movie shops that aren't age compliant shops...

I just did an art supply shop last week :-)

Art Supplies Shops. These are always worth a mention because there is always another practice piece or masterpiece to be done. Think of the possibilities! These shops could be performed by shoppers of all ages and many abilities, including actual, wannabe, and as-yet-dormant artists; on-site; on-line; keep; return; inquiry only; reimbursement...

I just bought my first pair of Sauconys and I LOVE THEM. I have hard to fit feet, and bounce around among brands. It seems like as soon as I find something that fits well they change the design or last.

So for now I will be true to Saucony for athletic shoes and Merrill for casual dress shoes. (I discovered through happy coincidence they fit well on a shop.)

Have you tried Sauconys? Best running/walking/standing brand I've ever worn. They're not as well known as the "designer" brands, but I won't wear anything else anymore. They used to be hard to find, so I tried other brands. Never found any that fit as well or give as much support (depending on the style you choose). I need a wide toe box due to surgery on one foot and lateral support because I pronate. Most Saucony styles have the former, which are so comfortable, and the style I buy has lateral support and arch support. They offer shoes to deal with various needs, so you can pretty much customize the fit. I love them, and they're middle of the pack price-wise. They have some very expensive ones, but the line I like costs about $65 to $75, and they're often on sale for less. Now I order them online, so never a problem finding them. My husband and older son are now converts, too! (I like New Balance, too, and would probably buy those if I couldn't get Saucony. Nike sucks.)

When I work at the antique mall where I have my booth, I'm literally on my feet for 7 to 8 hours. If I didn't have my Sauconys, I couldn't do it.

I take back everything I ever said about art supplies shops. I bought supplies and do not have to express anything about that experience. I am free to,express whatever landscape wants to expressed next...

PLehmann, was this with ATH Power Consulting? I signed on for this ($110) and the scheduler--Cheryl Bacon--kept changing the rules so the shop I did looked only vaguely like the shop specified in the guidelines. Long story short, she invalidated my shop and excluded it for pay. Apparently Ms. Bacon forgot she assured me the 10-day delay the company took in sending me a hard copy of my new card (instead of providing instant credit online) was absolutely fine. I suspect Ms. Bacon realized the shop was now so out of whack with what ATH promised the client that someone had to take the fall--might as well be the shopper. I've read similar negative reviews about Ms. Bacon, and given what I've read here, I imagine I've already been secretly deactivated.

Beware ATH Power's $110 shop that includes a 30-45 day review of how the client interacts with you once you get their credit card. The credit hit I took by having another credit check done, all for nothing. Live and learn! ; )

The credit card company is the client, Nordstrom's is just the location so they haven't named the client.
Steak and Shake...they need a shopper program BADLY. Especially at tgeir Franchises. Quality has gone DOWN
I used to shop them all the time. It didn't help, apparently, and they discontinued their shopper program.

YAY!! It's so true. I too loved my New Balance, found Nike mediocre, and Skechers are not great either. When I have to do an 8 hour merchandising reset, I wear my Sauconys and am so glad I found them on one of my shoe shops. They are on par with New Balance. But they don't make the New Balance shoes the way that they used to. I had a pair for nearly 20 years and they finally blew out, and I couldn't find a pair like them sad smiley

I would like to evaluate wilderness (not developed) campsites. I would be delighted to report on light/shade, temps/weather, flora/ fauna, privacy, land conditions, and other topics which are only interesting to people who demand the existence of wilderness conditions.

Shop-et-al,,,I recently had an offer to go camping in Death Valley Nat'l Park, (supposed to be gorgeous and interesting) for 5 days. I cancelled, sleeping outdoors....definitely not for me, too bad your married???? I always need a mint on my bed...LOL

Live consciously....
LOL. I have had the goody on the bed. In one long-ago job, I placed the goody on the bed. It was okay when people tipped well. Otherwise, meh. The job was near my beloved outdoors, and I could get outside and breathe better air once in awhile. Now, I just want the outdoors. I will never want to paint an image of a hotel room treat, but I will always want to paint landscapes. I need to research my landscapes...

I heart Dunkin Donuts' iced tea and iced coffee, but there's no way in hell I'd want to shop their stores. It'd take an hour to explain every 'No' response.

I'd like to shop Florida Panthers games, though there would have to be a decent fee as ticket value is as low as $10 for weekday games against teams with small fan bases. If I could cherry pick games against the Pens or Bruins it might be worth it.

I never enjoyed doing them, but yellow arches should bring back mystery shops. They poisoned people with salad last week. The 7-another number convenience stores should do mystery shops. The last time I frequented one of those stores, it was a narly mess, and I haven't been back since. Sonic? Your reports should include the condition of the drive-thru speakers. The one around here is barely hanging on. Where would I like to shop? Hmm Old Navy online? JoAnn's Fabrics? Tires?

I did a pie wei a few years ago. Whole foods is shopped by a MSC that does not pay well.

B'Dubs used to be shopped, but I don't seem to have any emails more recent than 2015 that mention them.
I would like to test the 'scenic routes'. Sometimes, conditions change, and the scenery changes. Who wants to pay me the big bucks to check out the scenic routes and report back?

Fresh fruit stands along the back road to Ventura/Santa Barbara, beautiful drive and fun stopping to pick up the glorious fruits grown here. Bare Essentials used to be shopped, love to see it back..I'd love to shop Sephora, but
don't know who does it. Rustic burger is another great one, but I really eat enough burgers.
