Keep right on posting and digging that hole. Your true colors are starting to show...

Thanks for the name calling BTW. Your maturity level is astounding.

As I said, you really need to learn that words do matter or buy a copy of "How to make friends and influence people". For you, it would be a sound investment.

I'm done with this topic now. It's gotten tiresome ... kinda like you. There are way more fun, interesting and nice people here to let you ruin it.

I agree with you. Nichtoliver apparently spent too much time battling in courts, and not enough time making nice with others.

Nichtoliver, you are downright insulting to those of us who do this full time, and you don't have a clue when to say "when." I am happy you are going for all the freebies you can get in So Cal. Competition from you does not scare or worry me. If you REALLY still make a six-figure income from lawyering, you are scarily cheap to need to MS for freebies. And yes, that was catty. And yes, I mean it ALL, good and bad. And yes, nothing you say has any meaning for my life. For if I had a six-figure income, I would really need to question why I was needing to take $10-$20 jobs to subsidize my lifestyle. Something is wrong in this equation.

Edited to add:
Its also "curious" that you either were the plaintiff or took the name of a plaintiff in a tax case in CA, where you purport to have a now defunct group law practice. See:
[dockets.justia.com]

Nicholas Toliver sued, among others, the IRS. Yup, just the guy I am going to for advice after he claims he has a practice that broke up. I wonder WHY. NOT.

I just tell people that I'm un-employed because we as shoppers are not employed by the companies we work with. We are indipendant contracters.

I chose Customer Service Evaluator.
I also am amazed at how people really unload when hiding behind a screen.

Happy shopping!

This was my first "almost a day off" since I got out of the hospital in December! Except for Christmas Day. I even did a restaurant shop on New Year's Day. Today I have to go eat a couple of doughnuts and drink some milk at 6:00 PM and do a short report. Other than that, I've gone to Bible Study class and caught up on ALL reports! Wheeeeeeeeeeee. Checking the forum and then I'll start looking for work for next week. I only have a few lined up. Waiting on some places to extend due dates and increase fees. Also waiting on places to pay me so I can afford more shops and gasoline to get to them!!! 6 Cricket shops tomorrow and lunch!

No one can be a "full time" mystery shopper with the money the mystery shop companies toss around. They toss around nickels like they were manhole covers.

Mystery shopping for me is a tool. It gets me out in the street talking to people who should be making more money but the economy is making them settle for the income they are making.

While I gather information for the client I am working for, it does not prevent me from talking to OTHER people I am NOT evaluating. I never mix the mystery shopping with the search for people who might need the opportunity that I am offering. I do not go out of my way but mystery shopping must pay me for my expenses, or I am not going. If I can get lunch or dinner or a free oil change while I talk to other customers who are waiting and get paid for the gas, I am happy.

It only takes a minute to hand someone a business card and point them to a web site where they can learn about the opportunity to make more income while they are still employed, or they are looking for a job.

You would be amazed what opportunity exists if you trade EFFORT for reward. Notice I did not say mortage your house and risk your money you are saving for your old age. The reward will come if you are open minded and understand that if six million people are making the effort and are being rewarded it is duplicatable for you to do it also.

You can multi task. You have people who will invest their time in you if you understand. If you do not understand there is nothing lost except the time you investigated the opportunity. You can have everything in life you want if you will help enough other people get what they want. Learn how, reply to this.

What am I? I am an entrepreneur who sees opportunity. This is America, the land of OPPORTUNITY if you will WORK FOR IT!
