Teller Refuses To Give His Name
If an MSC doesn't trust my integrity, I don't work for them. These jobs don't pay enough for you to have to prove that you're not trying to flim flam the MSC. Your report has all the info you have. Hopefully you have a solid description. Not your fault that the guy refused to give his name. Pay up.

I say something like, "You've been SO helpful today. What is your name?". Then I thank the person, using their name. You don't want to push in a way that will cause suspicion. The deposit slip has coded info on the cash drawer and teller that would have been logged in.
MSCs don't always have updated staff information. You did everything you needed to to do.
I had a similar situation at a storage shop. Corporate gave the MSC old information for the staff. Bankers rotate frequently. Be persistent. Your shop should get accepted.

In your post, it was mentioned that he was new. To piggy back on everyone else, the MSC may not have the current list. If you explained it that way in the report, they SHOULD pay you, as that was clearly out of your control.
A better question would be why are the tellers not giving their names.

I would call back later, ask to speak to the supervisor and say that you forgot your _______ (wallet, drivers license, keys, phone, fill in the blank 
and that you think you left it in the bank and describe the person you were working with. Saying something like "I don't remember their name but they looked like (description). What was their name? or who would that be? Can you ask if they found anything?"
I think an approach like that or something similar may get the name for you.

That is pretty weird, never had that happen.
If the other teller said, " XXX is new," then you have his name, right? Is the MSC questioning that they don't recognize the name from their employee list? I've had that happen before, but they always ended up paying me. If you have a description, you explained that the other employee said he was new, there is nothing else you can do! But, be sure to pursue your payment!!!

I do the same, but say "What's your FIRST name?" which usually gets me the info I need without the employee thinking I'm being creepy!
they should already have the name by their teller ID number on the receipt
I've had assignments where someone told me they were not supposed to give their name! 
..or they did not want to...or they did not feel comfortable giving their name or just gave their first name but would not give their last name. OP: Maybe I'm wrong but the teller you had seemed a tad rude. She is in the customer service industry and it just sounds gruff to me...(her response to you)

I had 8 shops scheduled for Thursday and Friday. One business closed in 2010 (eight YEARS ago); another one closed in March of this year.
The MSC required me to go to the location and get a photo of the building, with the current tenant(s) in the building.
So, yeah, added to a long list of targeted employees who no longer work at the location (drives me CRAZY), addresses that just plain do not exist, giving me the names of businesses and an address that's off by 200 miles or so, phone numbers that don't work, etc., etc, etc. I just about assume the MSC's info is out of date.
Eight years is a little extreme. But the fact is, of 8 shops, 25% had incorrect info.
You should definitely get paid.

The teller was not necessarily rude, but not friendly either. It made sense once the other teller spoke up . It was like a deer caught in the headlights.
This is odd, but what makes me chuckle is the conversation the 2 tellers probably had after you left.The female not having confirmation that you are a shopper, but having to explain to the new person what a shopper is and why it is important to give the name if asked. Aside from this; they work at a bank, why is the name so top secret?
Shopping Idaho and Oregon/Idaho border region.
I would say, "I'm sorry but what was your name?" or similar then thanked that teller by name. I do the demo shops for another MSC and was informed that they do not have a so and so employed there. Well, geez, that's what's on their name tag, maybe they are going by their nicknames. I would like to take a photo of such person to prove that who was doing the food demo but can't so I also noted their physical description when doing shops just in case..
Sometimes employees wear other people's name tags when they forget theirs.
The shop is stuck in QC limbo.... The MSC is not sure what they are going to.
They do. But I would guess this is far more likely at a casual eatery or a convenience store, not at a bank.

Weird. The companies I work for that have an employee list always assume the client didn't update the list as opposed to assuming I shopped the wrong location or got the wrong name.

I wish I could remember where I saw this: A cashier had a picture ID and I looked at the picture and the person on the ID was nearly bald... but the person helping me had a full head of hair!@mjt9598 wrote:

I have, on a couple of occasions, been doing grocery shops, where the cashier had on a particular name tag, but the name for the cashier on the receipt was a different name. I just reported what I saw. Hope you get paid, OP!!
My solution doesn't help you now, but it may in the future. When I can't get the name and it is absolutely required. I ask for their name because I like to thank people by their name for good service. And then I say I think it's the polite thing to do. Granted this approach doesn't work when the service was subpar.
Normally there is a name of the customer representative or their employee number on every receipt.
Your situation is when your integrity comes into play. An excellent scheduler will go to bat for you, if you've been a great shopper. I used to do all day adventures for the same shop. I have always made sure that I did my best to keep my scheduler updated with my progress.
I cannot tell you how many targets I've tried to accomplish in the last 4 years & the targets were nowhere to be found. They may have made appointments, but decided to quit, go on vacation or flat out ignored appointments. But, because I let my scheduler know what the scenario was almost immediately, I've been paid full fees plus bonuses for 95+% of every single shop.
That said, there are MSC's that don't care and will not pay. These are the companies that you put on the 10ft pole list.

Yes, I know that from reading the first post. I just can't imagine you not getting paid. You did everything you could and reported on the name you heard, not to mention describing him. Even if they deliberately gave you a wrong name, you'd think they could review their tapes to see if someone was working at that day and time who matched the description that you gave in your report. Hope it all turns out well for you!@janalou wrote:

Still waiting.
I would welcome them running the tape.

I always begin to say "thank you", then interject a smile with a quick, "what's your name?" I have had problems with tellers, as well. It was really difficult trying to do work with her smirking on the other side of the counter. It all started very badly around here after I reported a certain bank not passing some of the really important questions on my report. Maybe she was the owner's daughter or something else, because after that it all changed.
I did a shop once and the name tag said Mr Hollywood. I reported it. Bope the MSC got a good laugh too.
