I just saw a post for a fancy steakhouse that states no children allowed. It got me thinking since I just had a baby not too long ago. Do you assume that children are allowed on mystery shops unless otherwise stated in the guidelines? I like to do restaurant shops when available and I am curious if others reach out for clarification or just assume unless it specifically states no children allowed.
Congratulations on your blessed event.
My amateur take would be that a baby would be allowed unless specifically forbidden (and when they use language like, "You must do this shop ALONE," yeah, that means no baby. Babies count as not being alone).
Even on ones where there are no specific prohibitions, my guess is you'll be responsible for all observations as if the baby weren't in tow "Couldn't hear the associate's name because baby was crying" would disqualify the shop, I'd imagine.
