Faux Chinese gone?

I am no longer seeing the black and white bear shops. Are they gone, or are any of you still seeing them?

I think they figured out the report wasn't that valuable.

People are pulling back from eating out, and companies are scrambling to make cuts. Even pizza chains are closing a large percentage of locations, with announcements from Pizza Hut and Papa John's recently. I expect to see a drop in the number of assignments and further reductions in pay, along with long-standing programs discontinued. Ironically, this is exactly the time when companies most need solid data on customer experience; it's just a matter of how much they value it.

I haven't seen any shops at all. but I'm still playing their silly games and getting discounts and using my stored up points. Hopefully there will be new shops before I run out of points and discounts.

The shops were being done in 2026 in limited markets.. They scaled back where they are doing them. I don't see any now, but maybe they are done for April?

Maybe they have stopped the program. I will check in May again to see if I see them. They are not in my area, but they were in the outlying areas of Southern California (and maybe other places too).

There was one day I did like 6 in one afternoon. Loaded up leftovers for the week.

I was wondering this myself. It's making me sad how many of the shops I came to rely on have suddenly dried up. I was a big shopper for this company and now they have nothing left that I'm interested in.

Shopper since 2005
