I am absolutely tainted right now. My worst mystery shopping fear has finally came true. I am out $90 with a shop that was declined due to a relatively simple error.
When I saw the new phone requirements for this shop, they were listed in 1,2,3, format to ask about the menu, wait, and reservation, so I stupidly, or not so stupidly, assumed I had to choose one from the list to ask about. Nope, turns out I had to ask about all three.
I called the mystery shop company hoping there could be a rectification, such as calling again, but no. I suggested including "all" in the instructions to be more clear, or now that I think about it, put them in comma style instead. Anything. Just anything to make it more clear. If I were a newcomer, I would have never made this mistake. Ironically.
Please any advice, comments, thoughts, comforts? Every time I think about being out this much money for a day's meal, it makes me sick to my stomach.
