What have you learned from MSing....

I did my oil change/car wash today wth 108%. I learned to have patience with the workers who were working hard and pouring sweat. I went from my A/C car to the A/C waiting room, took a chair massage and had a cold drink while waiting. Those poor guys were working their tush's off. I truly had emphany and yes, my tip got larger. I learned to really look at the other guy and feel a human connection...corny, but true!!!

From mystery shopping, I have learned to separate "me" from assignments. This is good for my family. Many available assignments are undone here, but the family remains free to choose how to handle things in ways that do not involve mystery shopping. This is the best lesson of all. The next best lesson came from comparison shops. How do various things compare? What is a reasonable or appropriate basis for comparison? I am much better at this now because of performing comparison shops.

Nice thread! smiling smiley

I have learned that my brain really likes the focus. I am the perennial head in the clouds type, always wondering about the meaning of life and complex, remote, philosophical types of things.
Mystery shopping makes me come down out of the clouds and focus on something rather pedestrian, is the CSR wearing glasses? But my brain enjoys it and therefore I do too.
Post edited. It was previously over- negative. I don't want to fall in the trap of being negative to people unless they directly attack me.

David, could you please enlighten us to what MS companies you have worked for? In past threads, you have not indicated that you worked for ANY MS companies at all.

Wish Moose would quit stalking Irene.

Wouldn't it be easier for you to toggle me? Then you wouldn't have to read my postings in the first place!

Looking forward to your next piece on Ma Hillary in the politics thread.

MSing also gives seniors purpose, having been a shopper all my life, but professionally for 11 years, enjoy helping business in my small way. Feeling like one contributes , improving one's lifestyle, fancy dinners, fancy hotels, 10 years of free oil changes, etc. make's me feel independent and not having to depend on anyone, great feeling. Keeps mind in today's world, daughter proud of me.....what more is there? The Boutique companies I have built a relationship with have become friends (if you will), and have meaning in my life.

Irene is always polite and introduced a potentially interesting topic. I was interested in the responses. You chose to come in here and blast her. You also chose to engage in a political discussion that influences your perception of her. Many of us are not interested in your political arguments. Please keep them in your political thread.

Thx CQ, I try, but there's always one that hates....I wish him/her therapy for the anger he feels....doesn't effect my life. Immaturity is written in the words. Toggling, it's over for me.

I've learned, among other things, that credit companies pay a lot to get our business, that businesses need customers more than customers need businesses, that crew members' conformance to guidelines is the tape that holds companies together, that a moment in time can really wreck you and that a good fry is hard to come by.

I'd actually faint if you learned anything, but with an open mind, it may happen.....

Political statements, same over and over, not able to let it go shows one isn't here for Mystery shopping, but to promote their political beliefs and we are all BORED....you have a thread, stop hijacking everyone's else's thread, enough already.

Stalking is so uncool. Can you report someone who follows another poster around and makes snarky comments?

Consider yourself now reported, this thread is NOT about politics,and also reporting you for stalking me on everything I write......and being a general embarrasement to me on an internet forum...against all laws .... say goodbye!

Actually his alleged political comments have nothing to do with politics. No discussion of policy, etc. Just unbridled, undisguised misogyny while spouting "facts" that are easy enough to verify as lies.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

there's more of us than you.

Do you really believe that the moderators haven't deleted any of your comments? Can anyone back up this woman on this point?
@moosehoose wrote:


Please check the volume of Irene's posts that the moderators have deemed rude or offensive enough to delete. I am sure if she isn't in the top three of posters with the most deleted posts, she is the top five.
.

I looked at the volume. Irene has made 11,000+ posts and a few here and there have been moderated, which is comparable to most of us. You have made 82 posts and it looks like about 10% have been moderated. That's pretty massive.
It has never been my experience that Mystery Shopping is requiring me to "......seek intuitive insight" but is requiring me to answer their questions asked based on the occurrences during the shop.
