How long do you wait before doing phone shops at the same location

I like phone and computer shops since they seem to be easy and sometimes you can build a route of just these shops. Of the last 8 that I did, 7 were at the same address that I had conducted shops previously. I figured that the odds should be low that I would come across the same salespeople at each shop -- wrong!

7 of them were with the same CSR as before. Most seemed to remember me from my last visit. One location I went to was a new one for me that was an hour away and figured no way will I get the same CSR. It wasn't until I was wrapping up the shop that it dawned on me that I had spoken to this person at another Best Buy closer to my house.

How long do you typically wait before repeating these types of mystery shops at the same address? I saw a few pop up in my area that were mostly of sites I haven't visited before, but they were scooped up before I could get them.

Retail oil mystery shops are different in my mind since you are making a purchase and you aren't asking questions about watches and buds or tablets.

If the MSC is not enforcing a rotation period, it's on them. Personally I would wait at least a good 60 days or thereabouts even if the MSC doesn't care.
If the MSC does not have a rotation schedule and the $ are worth my time, I don't hesitate to go back in 30-60 days.

Some people take forever to decide on purchasing an item. If the associate remembers me I just play it off as that. Or I might day yeah I was in a month ago and thought I'd check to see if any new features or if on sale.
I was so confused when you started talking about an address and going to a location when the title says it's about phone shops. Took me a minute to realize you're talking about phone stores/departments in a retail shop, and NOT shops conducted by phone!
