Tell Santa What Shops You Would Love to Do in 2024

I'll ask Santa for credit for hundreds of phantom high-end shops, then snag a cruise thanks to being supremely qualified.
Have synthesizers, will travel...
I'm a simple girl, so I'll go with Chick-fil-A and long-term car leases with unlimited mileage.
Oh, and a shop at the glassblowing school I like in Dallas.

I would love it if a great project took the place of the baby mail/PO box project. I would also love it if PODS calls reappeared. Other than that, I want more good, long-term projects from SPG, etc.
I'll be the killjoy and tell you kids the real truth:

I would be happy to see the old Cheesecake Factory shops come back. Those were the best. Some hotel shops - depending on the MSC (hugely important)....massage, yes that too.
Aveda

Yankee Candle, Ross Dress for Less buy and return, Portillos (mostly Chicagoland but expanding), Oberweis (Chicagoland), Panera Bread
Mmmmm Bath & Body Works online order/pick up in store.... -goes glassy-eyed-

Oh yes I would love the return of Aveda. And also maybe some womens haircut shops and the return of Chipotle and Blaze and a whole lot more mid priced sit down or upscale fast food places like Chipotle and Blaze. There are so few of those around post pandemic that they all disappear the first day or two where I live. And a variety of the financial shops that pay well. I already did the student loan one so i am hoping for variety.
The $10 phone shops for EV's, and I wish those bowling shops could come back.
They are owned by Drew Brees (Partnered owned) and have the best food! It's more of a seafood place, but you can get a lot of stuff there. It has a sports theme. We used to do them before Covid. Then, they disappeared.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
Lego Shops. Bring back the Lego shops. Oh and Chipotle would be nice as well.

Capital Grille, Chipotle, Blaze, or Lego
It's funny. There were SO many gripes about the PITA shop requirements for Blaze. But now that these shops are gone, I miss them too!

I'd love to see some kids places (clothing or adventure type places), spa, candle, shoe or purse shops.

Not intending to be a grinch, but...
I had a New Years party and a friend of mine brought at date, who turns out to work in corporate HQ for Cheesecake Factory.
At one point in the evening, mystery shopping gets brought up because just about every friend of mine has accompanied me on a shop at some point, and the date mentions the MS program at Cheesecake. Apparently they are doing in internally now because (no shock here) the results from the previous MSC's were "not very good", and the employees could always spot the shoppers.
That said; I did get a whole cheesecake from her, and it's sitting in the freezer.
For my 2024 wish, I'm going big. I want the cash drop shops again for the international hotel chain that has almost no reporting....you just drop cash and take a pic of the receipt. Two night stay included.

Does that mean they hire their own professional mystery shoppers, or does it mean they use their own employees to do shops? Just curious about doing it all in house.

Dear Santa,
I would like the following as mystery shops.
1. Astronomically paid and bonused art supplies shop. I need a steady supply of art supplies so that I can practice and maybe even produce something that is saleable.
2. Local college/uni bookstore shops, preferably in-person during good weather. One is conveniently situated near uni library. Speaking of library, I would like local library shops and the occasional distant library shop.
3. I love new and used bookstores. Since I have been so good, may I please have as many general bookstore shops as possible?
4. Please see to it that a specific uni bookstore shop is assigned to me. My reimbursed purchase would be a relevant gift which could be sent via a postal or ship shop.
There are others, but this is a good start. Please keep in mind that I am being very, very good this year.

Dear Santa,
1) Pandora Jewelry - covered a lot of gifts in its time.
2) Shake Shack - because I haven't paid for a meal since the shops stopped
3) Chilis - I know, I know. It's been almost 2 decades but they were the best.
4) I'd like to fly Southwest again with a sweet deal

Evaluating and mailing packages since 1994
Drew Brees was brought in as a partner and owns 25% of the company.
It has lots of TVs with games playing I think they have good burgers and fries and thought they were a burger sports bar kind of place. Never thought to order seafood there.

The conversation didn't go that far, Susan, and I didn't push for details . Perhaps if the couple works out and they come back together in the future, and I haven't had 4 glasses of champagne already, I'll get more info (and more cheesecake!).
I would love to see the return of Aveda and Blaze. I would also love to see shops for Jason's Deli.
Chuy's and, if we're going all out, Southwest and/or a cruise!
I would love more delivery just about anything shops: restaurants, fast food, grocery stores, online shopping, trendy little stores, etc. I also like an occasional hotel eval and, as long as we are making our wish list, a cruise, or two, with reasonable evaluations, would be lovely.
