Shoe stores. As if I don't have enough and the shopping stories behind each pair.
Oil changes. Since I began doing oil changes through shopping, I've been spoiled. I don't like paying for oil changes now.
Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
I am anxious for my WaWa sandwich shops to return. That was my absolute favorite.

Hotel shops with great room service dinners.

Shopping from the Carolinas to New York
Have video cam; will travel

The zoo. I can take it or leave it, but the grandkiddy is a different story. Be nice to see the phone repair shop come back too, if it ever does.
Ooo. I also want the return of the Dish-In breakfast shops at the larger locations because the freshly prepared items are great and there is room in the reimbursement to stock up on good muffins and get plenty of free fuel.

Movie theaters, clothing and casual dining. Was lucky enough to do an oil change in early March. Those are also my favorite. Safe safe out there...
I dunno. It is easier to go back to hotels now that the early job has changed. I still get butterflies about better restaurants, but it is good for me to do them. Movie shops are easy peasy, but the movies usually suck. For the money, it would be nice to have more merches like today: fourteen minutes to enter, sign in, do the gig, sign out, and leave. I had to wait to sign in and to locate the exact spot. Without those delays. this would have taken ten minutes at most. There are highly paid merches that take more time but pay well. My back never thanks me, but I love seeing those dollars in my PayPal account. And... who knows what else I might just want to try?

Gas stations and 5 guys.
I have not paid for gas in my home city out of my own pocket in years.

They are back! Contact your scheduler as they are not on the job board. I didn't realize we could get bakery items.

Honny,
Only the larger stores have items like donuts and muffins that are fresh (i.e., not prepackaged.) The ones near me are on the job boards but that are for the afternoon shift, when anything sitting in the "hot case" is likely to be expired, so not worth spending on.

Not excited for any of them because staying isolated was heaven for me BUT gas stations will be a relief from the emotional trauma I felt when I had to buy gas knowing that it would not be reimbursed!
Wishing for BoA account closing shops. I have two accounts that I was paid to open early this year. I want to be paid to close each of them. That's just the shopper in me.

I probably won't be shopping again until September/October, but I will be glad to do Chevron, Exxon/Mobil, Wells Fargo, grocery store shops, El Pollo Loco (drive thru) and the Habit (takeout/drive thru). I am not used to spending my own money for gas, lunch, and groceries.
Oh.... car wash and oil change shops is something I would entertain too!
I am excited about post office shops. One of my good knives broke the other day and I found out they have a lifetime warranty on them and they want me to send it back with tracking and insurance. Most people commented that since they had to pay postage to possibly get approved for the warranty it was not worth it. Hah, but those people were not mystery shoppers who could not only get the postage reimbursed but get a fee too.
Its not any one job per say but the travel element as I like the day trips out of town or a few days.
Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
I keep looking for AT&T to come back. My husband needs an upgrade and it would make a great gift.
I am waiting for the Grocery stores again., even with their stupid questions.
If my grocery store shops start reappearing I think I will fall down on my knees in thanks. Between no shops for the last 3 months and buying all my food at the grocery stores as opposed to eating meals out (whether shops or on my own dime), I am spending a TON of money at the supermarket.
High end restaurants! I’m tired of paying for all of my own food lol.
hello! new to mystery shopping and this forum (just in the process of completing my first feedback report 
)... but to JessicaV1979's note, the whole reason i signed up is for high-end restaurants (lol). Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that has a focus /specialty here? I'm in southern USA. thanks!

Right now many of the shops that we used to do have not been available since the start of covid 19. Whether those shops will come back again or not depends on each restaurant group. At least where I live, restaurants just now are opening up but with many restrictions. And the re opening has been further impacted by protests in and around the areas where the restaurants are. It may be a while yet before any of us know what high end restaurants are back to mystery shopping or even which msc's are still offering them. So much has changed. Coyle handles a lot of restaurants. A-C-L also has them in certain states....don't know if they have them right now tho. You might want to get some practice on middle of the road restaurants before you jump into high end as those reports are generally more demanding.

Finished a special assignment earlier this month, and excited to get back to hotel shopping.

ACL for restaurants normally reimbursement only but do have high end if you work up by doing good on casual ones. Also Coyle same idea.

The only shop to ever be excited about is the onle that pays a hefty fee in relation to the work. Shopping itself, be it for a fee or because one needs to obtain X for personal use is always a bore --- no matter the mer hant or the product.

If shopping is a bore to you, you should probably be doing something else. There are easier ways to make more money ;-).

Most excited about: Shopping for the companies who offer me video shops with good pay and minimal reporting.
