I live in TN. Middle TN to be exact. I've been mystery shopping for 3 weeks and have gotten a lot of shopping in my area which was somewhat of a surprise.
I'm about 45 miles from Nashville but all the shops I have done so far have been in my home town.
I like the apartment complex shops. They pay high with bomus many times attached. The paper work is slightly long but it's worth while for the pay.
I've done one fast food but am discounting fast foods as a nice paying job for mystery shopping. Fast food seems to be steeped in too many regulations for their employees. It's amazing to me someone making minimum wage or less would work long in fast foods.
So far mystery shopping is working out really well as a part time job and I'm having fun.
