I didn't think there was a purchase required for the price check shops. But, ITA about avoiding those.@Morledzep wrote:
that sounds like the price check shops. I'm going to suggest that you use your 10 ft pole option. You're more likely to get kicked out of the store than actually paid for the job. YMMV
I didn't get kicked but I wondered if I might when doing the surveys. My behavior was sketchy enough to have security hang out with me at least once. I made eye contact and smiled at him then went back to messing with my phone. He was looking for shoplifting, not survey questions, and only showed up because I spent too long in the cosmetics aisle. But those surveys could be completed without touching any products. I'd stick to the center of the aisle and I mostly kept moving. Anything where you have to scan a bunch of barcodes is over the line for me because there is no good explanation for why you are doing that.@Morledzep wrote:
Dee,
They started adding the purchase requirement shortly after they forked me out of pay for several shops because I got kicked out. They thought that spending 45 minutes in the store to buy a $2 item would make them less suspicious, but I don't agree. I was kicked out of a store with a shopping cart full of stuff that I was going to buy, like nearly $50 worth of groceries. I left the cart where it was and walked out.
