Got kicked out of a cell phone shop for being a mystery shopper

“ Then you don't get paid, wasted your time and can never go back.”

John Boy ~ This is what happens if you admit to being a MSer. There’s still a chance that you could get paid and go back eventually (if you play your cards right.). You are way too concerned about getting banned from this new phone shop that you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Q. ~ If a tree falls in the forest and JB isn’t around to hear it, is he still wrong?

You don't know when you're being graded.

What are you being graded for?

Companies use mystery shoppers primarily to gain an unbiased, unfiltered look at their day-to-day operations and customer experience. Because these evaluators act like regular customers, businesses can see exactly how staff behave when they aren't expecting a manager or corporate audit

But you said YOU were being graded. Not them. And anyway, those shops are from the cell phone manufacturers, not the cellular providers. The manufacturers want to know how the staff are selling their products.

John, you wrote: "You don't know when you're being graded". You wrote this to us. Why do you think we, or you, would be being graded by a cell phone store??? If you meant "they" don't know when "they" are being graded, than that's what you should have written.

At any rate, they are not being graded, the cell phone manufacturer's want to know how their products are being presented.

Johnb974, meet Ozshopper. Ozshopper, meet Johnb974. You will get along great.

Ya know, I felt like there was something AI-ish there. Oz came on like gangbusters with essay after essay, multiple threads daily and the all of those "what would/should you do/say" questions. It just seemed otherworldly and I don't mean Australia.
Yeah, this horse is quite dead but at this point the entertainment value is worth it.
I've been paid when I was asked to leave convenience store shops. Those were revealed audits. I've never been asked to leave a mystery shop.
I'm not going to keep going back to the same cell phone shop, anyway. I'm old, but I can buy a cell phone and don't want to act like someone who is going to keep asking about phones every month.

Because you were doing a REVEALED audit.
Exactly. I've never been asked to leave a mystery shop. If I am asked to leave one, I'll report what happened. Maybe I'll get paid, maybe I won't. I've been paid for shops I couldn't complete. Shops go sideways sometimes.

Being asked to leave, means I leave. There's no discussion. Life is simple.
