Menards shops

Does anyone know what is involved to do the MS at Menards? Specifically, within each department. The synopsis states 2 dept will need to be visited and that will be given once assigned. I didn't want to sign up before knowing what will all be involved. Any info??

Not that tough. Menards has tvs above each service island like above hardware that states all employee names at the time. Just go find one named.

I hate, hate, hate these shops. If it's the same ones I do, you have to order online, pick up, then complete the mystery shop portion, then leave, then return and return the item you just picked up.

The guidelines have been somewhat corrected. For example, the first one I did, it said to be sure to enter by a different door the second time -- but the location I shopped only had ONE entrance. And they used a lot of jargon initially, which has also been corrected.

And I can NEVER find the right department with the right stuff. Last one, they had me ask a question in Building Materials better asked in garden supplies (and, in fact, the guy in Building Materials told me to go ask in garden supplies! Embarrassing! )

I am always on-site an hour, and the report takes another hour (however, I freely admit I'm very slow on reports: I have a tendency toward perfectionism). YMMV.

By the way, did I mention I really hate these shops?

I've seen these online-purchase/store return, visit a few departments,etc.. Menard's shops increased to $22 for a location 3 miles from my home. Still seemed like too much work for the pay. I didn't take it. But someone else did.

Cease, thanks for mentioning your experience with these shops. UGH!

On site & report done in less than 30 minutes... I do the report in MobiAudit as I do the shop.
They are easy and typically bonus fairly well in my area.

I do not see how anyone could do this shop and report it in half an hour. I've had plenty of practice, and I'm still on-site an hour. Heck, it takes me almost half an hour just to order the stupid thing I have to order on-line.

Freely admit, I'm a dinosaur when it comes to tech, and so all these things are difficult for me. I found the Menard's website so difficult to use, it took half an hour my first time just to get it to actually BE the store I was assigned to shop! It kept taking me to the store close to my ISP address, hundreds of miles from where I live.

Like I said, YMMV. One man's garbage is another man's treasure.
