I did an apartment shop where three leasing agents were in the office. Two were in a personal conversation about dodging the mystery shopper earlier in the day. They talked about the tactics they used to get away from the shopper. One girl said, "You better shut up; you know we are getting video shopped this month; that lady could be the shopper." The leasing agent doing all the talking was like, look at her, she's not the shopper they always come in here dressed up and ready to go. I turned around as the Leasing agent assisting me returned to the room. I got both girls on video, looked at them, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what a mystery shopper is, and I'm not dressed like a rich person. I am an Operations Manager at a warehouse and just got off work. I'll send in my well-dressed husband to sign the lease papers. I am sure he will be coming from work in a three-piece suit." They were floored, and my Leasing Agent apologized profusely, explaining the mystery shopping program and that it was her turn to be shopped, but every time someone came in, she was suddenly busy. She then looked at me and said, I hope you are the shopper and got all that on your hidden camera. Needless to say, I was told to dress down for the shop and get everything on video. A few weeks later, I was at Sam's Club, and this girl approached me, thanking me for losing her job. They apparently showed her the video, and what got her fired was not the comments about dodging the mystery shopper but talking about how I was dressed. I no longer shop at home, I thought she was going to hit me.
