Bar Integrity shops; age Limit

Just saw a BWW shop and the age range is limited to 21-55. I get the fact that they have a target demographic, but a lot of us experienced shoppers are over 55. Rant over.

Their demographic is not senior citizens at the bar. The only over 55 people at their bar are creepy old dudes flirting with the bartenders. There are 2 locations I refuse to shop because of this. Not even the $50 bonus gets me there.

LOL. I am not a creepy old dude but I would do the shop for the free wings.

Do the DINE IN shop with the too many men burger MSC. it's a better shop and easier too.

Creepy and old can be subjective. One can be charming and sophisticated.

Please don't feed the MSF trolls!

Feeding the MSF trolls bread or other human food is detrimental to their health and the environment. It can lead to malnutrition, disease, and behavioral problems in trolls, as well as water pollution and the spread of pests. Trolls are capable of finding their own food sources and don't require human assistance.

Not in this case.
They're calling the bartenders "honey" and leaving cash tips. It's like a cheap strip club atmosphere. Trying to buy me a shot of Jack Daniels isn't going to do it for me either. Barf.

My wife and I love these shops but we just aged out

They are still sitting on the board so maybe they will extend it to 56 and we can do the again.

@ShopperGirly is ShopperWoman now...BUSTED!

I saw the guidelines once and told the scheduler to remove the shop. It did not interest me. I'm happy to see non-audit, non-bar scenario, regular dining shops with another MSC and have done quite a few of those so far.

I'm over 55 and not creepy or a man. I've done this shop before, because here they eventually extend the age. Lots of people my age go sit in the bar to have a drink and wings.

And they upped it!

What I don't get is why people are choosing this bar audit scenario? Is it for the higher shop pay? I thought this MSC was having issues paying timely. I'm not interested in paying attention to detail for 1 hour of what the bartender is doing with other drinks and all the cash handling. I'd rather just dine there and comment on server, upsells, cleanliness, timings.

When I was nearly 50, I worked in a large office with an older man (70ish). I often helped him with his customers' tech questions when he was on the phone. One day he told his customer: "the girl next to me said......" and it stuck with me.

Apparently you are clueless. You can choose not to accept any bar integrity shops which is your right. But companies want to know about overpours and free drinks given. And it's our jobs as mystery shoppers to let them know if it's happening!

Okay...i'm clueless to you.

I choose not to do that assignment. There is a regular BWW dining assignment from the too many men MSC where the report is much easier and I can eat without the hassles of the detail required for the bar audit.

People must be doing it FOR THE MONEY. If it's for the food, you get an easier shop for the dining scenario.

I've done a "bar audit" at an upscale hotel for another MSC. I do not drink that much and i got paid $40 to sit there for an hour and pay attention. After I did it, I thought...Why did I waste my time doing this? I don't need the alcohol. I don't need the $40 and would rather spend my time doing easier assignments. I could do 3 pandas and make $24 (base pay) and spend half as much time and actually feed people in the process.
