Has Anyone done the Bizarre Blue Pin Phone Shops for $10

August 14, 2023 04:01AM
I was thinking about bad blue pin shops and the fast food kiosk drink menu and plant audits immediately came to mind.

Has anyone done the phone shops that appear as a blue pin and currently are on the board where you are supposed to go to one of the major cell companies where you supposedly already have an account and go through the steps of adding a phone line to the account for a top of the line cell phone and cancel right at the last seoond before agreeing and making a purchase. You are to make evaluations on the customer service you receive from the salesperson.

This seems like a cruel shop to do to a salesperson.

That sounds like way too much for $10.

Nope, will not do this. It is mean and $10 isn't enough for me to be mean.

Gas is $4/gallon here. I'm not driving somewhere, doing a shop, and filling out a report for $10. That would be like $5/hr at best.

Nope, ridiculous. Between reading the guidelines, and filling out the report...driving even if it is fairly close...waiting for a rep...going through the process with MY PERSONAL information, which will not be quick in my experience...THIS IS A JOKE. Best case scenario has to be an hour, and where is the compensation for for asking me to use my personal account?

I feel that more and more they open with a crazy low fee just to see if someone will bite, and often they do.

I also no longer do "change my mind" shops or purchase and return. It is a waste of the employee's time, and mine.
