Five Guys shop limit?

The MSC informed me that I would no longer be able to shop at Five Guys. I just figured that I was outed since my reports were always accepted. I was hitting them pretty hard for a couple of years now I have to pay on my own dime when I need a Five Guys fix......sad.

That blows. Same thing happened to me at Sonic. At least now you can tell them you want fries straight from the fryer into your bag! Make like you're watching the burger fryer and you'll get a super-extra helping of fries.

Haha. Next time I will make sure that the french fries are shaked the adequate amount of time and look at my watch, Anything for those extra fries.

I still have lots of FG on my list but notice that the ones I do most often are not listed anymore. I am guessing that I have rotated out (at least for a time?) on the locations I have exceeded some unknown rotation limit. Strangely, I did get a call from a scheduler who had an "emergency" FG shop on a military base- and this base has not been on my shop list for about 6 weeks....(overshopped?) .....I am guessing I am on the "emergency only" list for the military location. I had not had any problems with my shops so it may be a case of "spotted shopper" at this location or too many shops done in one location so I have been pulled from these 2 locations but all the other locations are available.

How long has it been since you saw the last shop you did? Sometimes it's taken 3-4 weeks before i can see the same shop available again.

I haven't been able to see them in my area for a long time. I know who had them when I was doing them but I'm still with that MSV and I cannot see them. I guess they may have gone somewhere else. I started shopping them in 2009 or so and shopped them regularly until about 2011-2012.

Is it hard to be fired from FGs??

Hope not- I have been supping at the teet of this shop for a number of years and probably do 3-5 a month. One is on a military base and they have a hard time filling that one so it starts out at $10 instead of $6. I try to get $18 for each shop, I have found they don't want to go much over that. It would stink if I got dismissed for being too old, stale shopper etc.

How can the employees identify anyone as a shopper? The guidelines make shoppers look like customers. You aren't taking pictures of the register or menu, or dirty tables. You're being a regular customer.

I think they could identify shoppers at times. For example, the lone person that comes in for a late night shop. Or a customer that is looking intently at them in the kitchen while other customers are sitting down waiting for their # called. I think it depends on each location.

Post removed as it breached the Forum guideline which states, "Do not reveal the clients of mystery shopping companies". Additionally, it is usually an ICA violation to name both the MSC and client.

How long has it been since you've seen the shops and how long have you been with them?

You need to edit your post...the client is the subject of this thread, so you don't want to name the MSC...

I always thought they were burger shops, so I have never been inside one of the stores.

That may be a limit for one particular location. if you will do it today the same location will be open for you after one month.

Shopping Eastern Pennsylvania since 2009

I've seen the rotation anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks-ish.

I was told if you shop a location-6 others must shop before you can do it again and they are shopped twice a week, so that would make it about a 3 week rotation per location. I guess if they aren't filling shops it could take longer to qualify for a location again.
