I am shopping a telephone company where I was speaking to one person to begin with. Within a minute or two of going through my scenario, one of the ex employees I fired from working my full-time job walks out, and starts telling me they can not give quotes without me giving personal info. Of course, I contacted my scheduler and told her what happened, and she canceled my job without hurting my score. Talking about uncomfortable!

I haven't done a mattress shop in ages, but I had an interesting experience with one of the first ones I did. I walk into the store [door chimes loudly]. I look around for an associate but don't see anyone walking around. Maybe they're at the desk... no. Hmm... Then, I hear snores. The sole associate had fallen asleep on the most expensive mattress in the store. I had to wake her up. I mean, technically, she did a great job selling the mattress. I was fully convinced that it was comfortable.
@MadiHill. That is very weird. Nothing comes to mind for me.

Back when they were handed out, I had the recipient of a worthless Exxon certificate become overwhelmed with joy, almost to the point of tears. They asked me to autograph it.

It did not happen to me, but recall reading either here or on the V GOD site that a guy out west did an unfavorable report after an oil change resulting in an employee termination. That fired employee called the shopper on the telephone. That story still frightens me. Not sure what was said either.
Here's mine. When I was first starting out, I had a mystery shop at a gas station in a rural area I had never been to. I drove out, following my printed directions down the road looking for the station. Didn't have a smartphone back then. Finally found it, but it sure did look odd. It had old timey branding on the canopy and ID, the kind you see at antique stores. But whatever. I pull up to the pump. It was an old-style pump with the mechanical spinning numbers, with no card reader obviously. I go inside the store. It mostly sold tractor parts and such out of dusty boxes. There are a bunch of really old men sitting around. I go to the counter to buy a soda. One guy hobbles over on a walker, sells me the soda, and I have to make him write out a receipt. I then buy $5 in gas, and make him write a separate receipt for that. Then, to my surpise, the guy hobbles outside to pump my gas. I thank him and leave. On the way back to the interstate, I go through a town where the one-way streets split off onto different sides of the block. And, sure enough, I see the station I was actually supposed to shop.

I did a thrift store shop where I had to ask the cashier a specific question. The cashier started to ring me up. I asked her the question. She looked so nervous, I thought she was going to faint. She asked, "Are you the mystery shopper?"

Just had this situation recently but it's more sad than weird. I took a job scanning some items at a gas station for a decent pay and I was so nervous thinking I was going to get kicked out but the cashier had more problems than dealing with a MS. She was on the phone talking to the police loudly about a guy that SA her 18 year old daughter. The guy was dumb enough to go back to the apartments and a neighbor saw him and called the cashier who called the police because they were looking for him. What happened to her daughter was messed up but IDK about yelling it on the phone with customers around to hear it since the store was pretty packed.
