Ever get the feeling you're the one being shopped?

I've done so many bank inquiry shops lately that I get the feeling when I walk into the bank they say amongst themselves she's here or she's the one. And I swear no two bankers give me the same situation. And they know who you are by the two questions you have to ask. I'm probably being paranoid but still it makes me wonder. Lol.

With the blue banks I once had the banker say "Let me get you the documents that you need." I did not do anything that would have identified me as a shopper except ask the required question(s). Those blue banks I felt the bankers know or it is just been drilled into them so much they just give you what you need.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

Some auditors are probably followed at certain gas station sites by yours truly, and considering they will pay $250 to open new accounts, it is almost completely obvious that some banks wouldn't mind recruiting new members while monitoring employees.

Just put in a less than positive banking experience; they didn't know they were being shopped. It doesn't make me happy knowing the video will be gone over scrupulously by the banking head honchos. I've heard from other shoppers that challenged reports sometimes do not turn out well.

I had no choice, though. Take a shop, report dishonestly, and be outed as a creep? Not this lil snitch. It's a top priority to stay anonymous, and I'm pretty good at it. I pay the price.

Edited to correct grammatical errors. I tend to type as I think, and it isn't usually grammatical. Just had to come back the second time to adjust paragraphs and spacing. OCD

I shopped a gas station/convenience store this morning. A random customer standing by the cash register watched me while I took pictures if the center aisle.

Was I made?

I was mystery shopping a cable company kiosk in Wallyworld and at one point the target was staring at someone and acting nervous. He ended up confessing that he thought that the person he was staring at was his mystery shopper and asked if I wouldn't mind if he called her over to give her his best pitch.

why r u prompting your target to do his job?

Why r u following auditors around at gas stations? that is creepy.

I *think* she was stating she was paid to check out auditors. Although I don't know how they would know when you would be there. Perhaps they paid her to stake out the place for the entire opening hours until the auditor cam? I dunno.

The rest of the post was quite confusing and I didn't at all understand it. I think we are missing information that she thinks we know?

Sybil2 has said that he/she has been paid to stake out and report on a fellow mystery shopper. I have not seen those assignments for mystery shopping but I have done assignments where I've been paid to stake out and report on demonstrators at Costco, Sam's Club and others at a few merchandising companies for their client; including pictures of the demonstrator. This includes Acosta and Advantage among others. For mystery shopping you need to know what day and time or time-frame the shopper will be there, for sure. I get $22.50 an hour to do that work, including my drive time, and a minimum of two hours or I don't do it.
